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.

Mr. Cates patiently addressed all my questions, no matter how trivial, with clarity and professionalism. Even during challenging moments, he remained empathetic and supportive, accommodating my emotional needs with kindness. His dedication and expertise made a significant difference, and I would confidently engage his services again.

This man saved my life, I can write pages and pages of reviews. So if you are on the fence, feel free to get in contact with me and I'm sure he will save your life as well. He is honest, loyal and definitely cares. You can't put a price on freedom and you definitely can't put a price on his talent as a lawyer.

Aaron was God sent! Everything that happened with my brother happened so fast and the county law enforcement agency was in a hurry to hang my brother high and dry. Our family frantically searched for someone to represent our loved one with about 24 hours until he was in front of a judge on a SUNDAY! Aarons name showed during the search. Once we made the call we knew we had the right man. Aaron was insanely quick, communicative, available and caring. What stood out to me was he gave a s***! I remember speaking to him and trying to explain the situation and respectfully Aaron stopped me and said "I'm not being rude but right now my concern is making sure I am there with him in person and then we can over details later." He got suited up and drove to represent my brother with just a few hours until he (my brother) was to be seen. Aaron showed up dressed to the nines! well groomed and stood with confidence from there on out that level of professionalism didn't stop.. He helped my brother when everyone else was looking at him less than a human. He handled this case so professionally and proficiently I cannot express how much gratitude I have for his work ethic. You are where you are supposed to be Aaron and I'm sure your name will bring comfort to those who you represent. It's been 2 years and I'm ashamed I haven't left a review for Aaron, but late is better than never. Aaron on behalf of my brother and our family, God Bless you and thank you for seeing the situation for what it was. Ultimately, thank you for my brothers freedom and giving him the chance to live his life, as well as the chance to finally get the help he needed.
