My 90 year-old father received a careless driving ticket after a collision with a tractor trailer on I 95. Aaron was the most responsive of all the lawyers we called. He walked us through the options and was with us every step of the way. He succeeded in  helping my father receive no points, no driving school , and a reduced fine. My father has now retired from driving and sold his car. If I got a ticket in Palm Beach County, Aaron would  be my first call.  Highly recommend.
