Tenacious and trustworthy

I've used Aaron for several contract reviews and negotiations over the past year, and we have run into a few contentious issues with potential customers. In these cases, Aaron upheld our corporate position and got the outcome we needed by being diligent and thorough, even in the face of some diffi...cult customer counsel. Aaron continues to be our go-to guy for contract review, and consistently looks out for our best interest, especially with much larger corporate entities.

Aaron is very professional, tactful, honest man that I believe to be very much an assest to his clients. He is aware of the cost of doing buisness and is effichant with his time. Aaron has provided my company an extrodanary service and not only do I consider him a fine attorney, I think of him as a f...riend which in my experiance is an unusal combination. I am quite sure anyone who chooses to retain Aaron's services will be very pleased with the outcome, so save yourself a lot of time and look no futher Aaron is the best choice. Sincerely Jim Ingram

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
