Biography

A proven winner in trial, Aaron J. Reed advocates for his clients with outstanding results and top level customer service. Aaron dedicates 100% of his practice to defending people that cannot defend themselves, and has done so even before becoming a licensed attorney. Criminal defense has always been his passion, and his clients are best served because of it.

Aaron has had numerous outright jury trial acquittals (not guilty on all charges) in major felony cases, including sexual assault, kidnapping, sale or transportation of narcotic drugs and felony possession of narcotic drugs.

Aaron also is unique in how he approaches customer service. Aaron will respond to client inquiries within minutes if he can, and will return phone calls, text messages, emails and other messages after hours and on the weekends, which is rare for most attorneys.

Aaron offers a free 30 minute consultation for all potential clients, regardless of the charges and any consultation will be directly with him, and not a staff member who is not a licensed attorney. Call today for your free consultation.

Legal Answers
Q. If I get evicted from the lot but own the mobile home is it my right to move it?
A: This is not really a criminal law question as much as it is a landlord-tenant issue. You should consul an experienced attorney that handles landlord-tenant disputes. Many of them will offer a free consultation and will discuss your case and possible issues and remedies to your situation. Best of luck to you.
Q. I plead guilty to a plea deal and a week later the judge denied my plea deal after I already plead to a guilty charge
A: Thank you for your question. When a person enters a plea agreement in open court, the plea is contingent on the court accepting the plea agreement. If the court defers acceptance of the plea at the change of plea hearing, then the plea is not officially accepted by the court and you may still be able to back out of the plea agreement. The court can also reject a plea agreement for a number of reasons. If the court rejects your plea, you can still choose to remain in agreement with the plea, but the Court does not have to follow the agreed upon stipulations between you and the state. You can also withdraw from the plea if the court rejects it. If you do this, the original charges will essentially be brought back up, and the case can proceed onward to trial. Hope this helps. ...
