Testimonials

EXPERT

I decided to write this review since there is no easy way to verify ‘quality’ in attorneys. In Atty. Aarons you’ll find an expert, a dependable and responsive person, and a very nice individual to work with. 

KIND & CARING

Atty. Aarons is a very kind and caring individual. She really takes the time to understand what the client wants and puts that in legal terms: you will feel that the documents are “custom made for you”. At least that is what I feel. She is very good and fast at the same time.

FAIR

I came to Beth for help with my divorce and to prepare an agreement that would be fair to both me and my spouse and would be acceptable to the judge. Beth was very supportive and patient, and offered her expert advice and counsel that allowed us to keep making progress in our sometimes difficult discussions.

PATIENT

Beth was patient, answered all my questions in understandable language, and was professional throughout.

BULLET PROOF

Atty. Aarons is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and an expert in probate law… I truly feel Atty. Aarons made my Estate Planning documents ‘as bullet proof’ as they can be. 

Our Principles

1. Right to Self Determination
There are often many process options for proceeding in a legal matter or resolving conflict. Not all options are right for all clients. We help clients evaluate choices for process or resolution so the result reflects their own voice and participation.

 

2. Informed Consent
We recognize that many factors may be considered with each step of any legal process. Clients may have legitimate reasons for pursuing a particular outcome, even if that outcome differs from a typical Court result. We support clients in making fully informed choices to reach solutions that work for them.

 

3. Conservation of Resources
We assist clients with their legal issues while striving to help them conserve their valuable resources: emotional capital, time management, relationship preservation, and of course financial output.
