Getting a divorce after 30 years is the most devastating experience to any family. After 15 months of being represented by Dishon & Block I am convinced I made the best choice. Aaron Dishon listened attentively to my situation and organized the best team for my case. He helped me evaluate first all of my critical decisions. He demonstrated the highest ethics when he would remind me that a divorce is difficult on both sides. His extensive experience gives him quickly a clear picture of a plan when we had an obstacle. Marc Garelick is a perfectionist and has an unbelievable patience whenever he would explain to me his wealth of information. Marc understood it's difficult for me to believe in any words of hope. But, he continually repeated kind words of hope and support. Leea Summervelle is very professional and detailed oriented. The whole staff was always available to talk with me and eager to help. My questions were answered Via Emails within 15 minutes. They have given me the strength to survive the biggest loss anyone can ever face “his Family”. I am grateful for their sincere concerns and hard work. I am confident Aaron and his team got me the best settlement.

Aaron Dishon demonstrates a high level of knowledge, talent and professionalism in his field of law. They gave me legal options I didn't even know existed. I was in an abusive relationship for many years and was ready to take measures to dissolve my marriage. Aaron came highly recommended to me by several others and it is now apparent to me why he is so well respected in the legal world. His staff is professional, courteous and Aaron has exceeded my expectations in representing me. Dishon and Block goes above and beyond and truly cares about their client!

Aaron Dishon had represented me in my child support dissolution challenged by my ex-wife. He was my third attorney to finally get it right with a G.S.D. - Get Stuff Done approach and attitude that was able to save me thousands of unjust monthly child support. His office staff was incredibly professional and responsive on any and all requests, communications and inquiries. Aaron's ability to be strategic and factual with reference to the law was superb. His knowledge and reference to case history is strong and assisted us in planning our case that ultimately won a fair and equitable resolution. Aaron was not afraid to engage when needed and immediately act on tactics to win. On a personal note Aaron was personable, understanding and was finally the attorney whom gave me the confidence I needed as a father to be able to fight for what was right instead of the typical "father against all odds" scenario that many attorneys will just want you to accept. Thank you Aaron for seeing this through fruition , being my legal counsel and advisor through the toughest time of my life!

I was paying a large alimony order to my ex while she was cohabitating. Aaron was able to get the order reduced to zero. More importantly, Aaron was able to bring legal pressure on my ex and her counsel to come to the table to reach a final settlement and fully resolve all supprt issues. The results were excellent and the peace of mind for me was priceless.

Aaron Dishon has been a pleasure to work with over the years. He is a competent, caring, and responsive attorney that gets results for his clients regardless of their situation. He realizes that divorce is a difficult ordeal for everyone and treats his clients with professionalism and respect while getting the results they deserve. Every case is treated as a unique situation and every member of the team is always there to answer questions pretty much at all times. I recommend Aaron Dishon for anyone trying to get their fair share during a divorce regardless of whether the case is related to spousal support payments or splitting up assets between ex partners. He is very experienced in all of these areas. I have spoken to other satisfied clients as well that can vouch for Dishon and Block and their ability to deliver results.

Aaron Dishon is the attorney that handled my divorce case over 4 years ago. He was able to get me an agreement that was fair and equitable to all parties. My ex’s lawyer was proposing a much less equitable settlement. I found this page while looking for his phone number. I again need his professional guidance to help adjust my support obligation I would never use another attorney for family law matters. As a man, I really feel the court system is not working fairly for me and need a professional to fight for my rights.

Aaron Dishon is a no nonsense, yet compassionate professional. Right from the start, he made it clear that I would benefit from the resources of a highly experienced and dedicated team. He more than kept his word. Specifically, his partner Carrie Block played an invaluable and significant role through every aspect of my case. Chandra Moss also provided timely contributions to help bring about success on my behalf. My adversarial family law case was highly complicated and involved post divorce litigation that has been going on for 8 years. I just wish I had retained Aaron from the start and not just for the past 6 months. He and his office staff not only kept me informed of every action, but utilized his relationships outside his firm, as well. His credibility among legal peers enabled us to get the best experts and testimony for a victorious outcome for my autistic son. The mother had been neglecting our son’s special education needs and developmental therapies for his entire life. She manipulated the Court system and isolated him through a home school charade to cover her years of inaction. Thanks to Aaron, we accomplished everything we petitioned for. Our son is now receiving professional therapy through proper school enrollment, has his own Court appointed attorney, a Court ordered unification therapist, and my educational rights have been completely restored.

I had a very complicated case involving a spouse who had years to plan an exit and was skilled at hiding assets and avoiding work in an effort to avoid both child support and spousal support. Aaron stated focus on the best long term, was brutally honest, and resolved the issues surpisingly quickly. I know it would have been very easy for an attorney to run up our fees or prolong the case . I have recommended him to both family and friends. In the end I had more than twice the amount my ex spouse had offered, found retirement funds my ex had said did not exist, and much more. I am forever grateful to him and his staff.
