"From the very first interaction we had with Aaron Reed, we, immediately knew we were in the right hands. He was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly warm — he made a stressful situation feel manageable. Even before we officially hired him, he was easily accessible by phone, which played a big part in our decision. That kind of availability and care is rare, and it showed us that he truly cares about his clients. Aaron kept us informed every step of the way and always made sure my husband (who was incarcerated at the time) had a direct line to reach him. He was present for every court appearance, whether in person or via Zoom, and carried himself with confidence that helped our family stay hopeful through such a difficult time. What really stood out is how down-to-earth and nonjudgmental Aaron was. He made us feel human, even while our world felt like it was falling apart. He never made us feel ashamed about our situation — instead, he showed nothing but compassion and patience. He took the time to explain everything, even if it meant repeating things multiple times, and never once showed frustration. Thanks to Aaron, we had a great outcome in my husband’s case, and we truly couldn’t have done it without him. I also have to mention Lorraine Shreiber, the firm’s business manager. She is heaven sent. Her calm, kind demeanor held me together during moments when I was falling apart. Her empathy and steadiness were just as important to us as the legal support. Aaron and Lorraine are truly a dream team. I will forever hold them close to my heart and recommend them to anyone in need of excellent, compassionate legal representation."
