Being hispanic in Yavapi Co. I was left with no hope what so ever and I thought I would never get out but thanks to Aaron J Reed I could finally see that light at the end of the tunnel so I greatly appreciate Mr Reed for all his hard work he put into my case so I can finally be set free and go back to TEXAS to my family !!! Thank you very much from all my family ....
As a first offender of 3 different high class misdemeanors (with no evidence and no witnesses on my side), I was extremely adamant about finding the right lawyer. I met with about 10 lawyers before choosing Aaron Reed. He is a lawyer you can call or text at anytime and will be sure to fulfill and help you prioritize your needs appropriately. Trust his process and you’ll find success in your case. His passion is unmatched, as he holds great attention to detail in your case and knowledge of the law that is superlative. If you’re looking for a positive outcome, this is the lawyer to hire!
I selected 5 stars because its all i could select absolutely professional understanding and patient with me and all my questions and concerns and did every single thing be said he would thank you
Aaron was on top of my case from day 1. He explained every aspect of my case very thoroughly along with the possible outcomes. Never did he try to paint a pretty picture or mislead my expectations. He was always reachable and was prompt in responding back if he was out of the office. At the end of the day, I would use his services again if I ever needed to. Thanks again for all your hard work Aaron!!
Aron was hired on as my lawer I had gotten into a lot of trouble over drugs and was looking at some series time thanks to him and the law firm they helped me out and saved my life from not getting life in prison I would definitely recommend him he knows his stuff and is amazing at what he does
I hired Aaron Reed for Council almost 2 years ago in 2018. At the time i had over 10 felony charges in two different counties. I was fighting active drug addiction and alot of time. But thanks to Mr Reed for always being at court with his Ducks in a Row even sometimes when i wasnt, this all now is behind me thanks to the Council of Mr Reed. Many 3 hour drives to court for him in a different county. Im now 1.5 years clean from addiction. Im currently am finishing probation which up to this point has been success. I owe much of this to Aaron Reed for always being there and always doing his best for me in all my cases. I couldnt of asked for a better man or Attorney to represent me.
Aaron j reed is a phenomenal lawyer. He heard my case out, handled my case with care while taking care of business. Any questions I had he answered with a rapid response time. He made me feel at ease while handling my case. One less thing I had to stress about in life. All around very professional guy who will get the job done for you!
I would recommend Aaron Reed to anyone. My grandson had a hopeless case and was looking at multiple years in prison. Aaron worked hard and diligently with the prosecutors' on my grandson's case. He was always available to answer all of our questions. The final outcome was more then we could have asked for or Imagined. My grandson is now on parole and is going to attend a program to help him be successful is life. He owes this second chance to Aaron Reed.
I found out i needed an Attorney on Wed. For a hearing on the following Wed. I contacted Aaron Reed. He took case. Hearing went well, case dismissed. He did his research and took them down. I would advise anyone needing an attorney gor a criminal matter yo contact Aaron. Thank you Aaron, couldn't of done it without you.
I decided to retain Mr. Aaron Reed for an incident that occurred which led me to looking at two charges against me. The incident was one that I was in need of psychiatric medical care, which I DID receive and have continued to receive and maintain. The state wanted to offer me a plea bargain, which included a fine, 9 months of probation (also costing monthly charge), anger management class or classes, and a psychiatric evaluation for starters. Not to mention that I would have a domestic violence type of charge on my record. I am not a criminal, nor am I violent perpetrator. I am a patient and participant at a SMI (severely mentally ill) Clinic who undergoes regular extensive psychiatric evaluations, I take medication daily to combat my brain chemical imbalance, I have regular contact with my Crisis Team at my clinic, and currently I am doing so well in my treatment and recovery that I am undergoing training to become certified with the state of Arizona as a Peer Support Specialist and hope to retain employment working with peers that are in crisis Behavioral Mental Health and substance abuse problems. I add all of this within my review because I feel that it pertains to my decision to retain Mr. Reed and his firm’s services. I have never hired a lawyer before, although I have in the past desired one. However, in this case I felt it was important for me to defend myself and exercise my rights. As i stated, I did not do anything wrong... we needed a mobil crisis team that night, not police and handcuffs. We received the help that we needed and continue to need and all that the state was wanting me to do, I have done and more. What I need, is medical related- not probation. The result: within days of retaining Mr. Reed, my case was completely dropped. No pretrial hearing, no arraignment, barely no wait time. This is a situation that the result was just. For all parties concerned. I am grateful that I choose to exercise my rights, instead of being intimidated by the charges filed by the state. Thank you Aaron AND thank you to the state prosecutor, as I am aware that they could have chosen to try to drag this out.
