Picking incorrectly will cost you thousands and, if your case is large, millions. All injury firms charge the same fee and none get paid until your case settles. So, how to decide? In its simplest terms, the personal injury client wants two things: 1. To settle for the largest amount of money, and 2. To settle as quickly as possible. Over the last 29 years that I have developed numerous tactics designed to accomplish both of these goals. At Aaron Law Group, we take care of everything and all you have to do is go to the doctor and get better. Although our process is hassle-free for the client, it has, over almost 3 decades, evolved into a powerful system that achieves incredible results in a relatively short period of time. I am very proud of the fact that for the last 5 years or so, I've been able to look a perspective client in the eyes and honestly tell them that there is no firm in this state that can handle his personal injury case better than mine.
