Compassionate and Dedicated Attorney

When Aaron took me on as his client, I was feeling very hopeless about my situation. I had felt very defeated when I was denied my short-term disability. After one phone call with him I felt very confident that I did have a valid case. His excellent communication skills right from the start put me... at ease. He was patient and took the extra time to explain what the process would be going forward and he was very thorough through the entire time we worked together. He kept me informed at all times as my case progressed. Aaron was a good listener, compassionate and empathetic to my situation, which eased my mind as this case went on. My case was settled remotely and with a positive outcome. I cannot thank him enough for what he did for me. I highly recommend Aaron.

Client Review

Mr. Engle, along with his partners, recently represented me in a disability case. I used to work for law firms and therefore was a little concerned when Mr. Engle was assigned to my case, because I felt he was a little on the young side. I had no reason to be worried. Even before speaking with me he ...had not only read my case completely, he had memorized many parts of it. When I referenced one letter out of the 2400 pages we had, he knew exactly what one I was referring to and was able to put his hands on it within a minute or two. Whenever I called his office and left a message, he got back to me promptly, usually within a couple of hours. This is very rare in the legal world. Whenever I had a question, he answered honestly and completely and made sure I understood his answer before moving on to more questions. He kept me informed and up to date on everything the other side was doing and why. He patiently explained to me how the disability laws and ERISA applied to my case. He never missed a deadline and told me ahead of time when there were documents to be filed. He was familiar with both opposing counsel and the mediator chosen for my case and has a good working relationship with both of them. This worked out into a favorable decision for me. As I stated above, I used to work in law firms and am very familiar with how they are run. Not only was I surprised at Mr. Engle's professionalism and knowledge, I was IMPRESSED. And that's hard to do when you're old and jaded like me!
