Aaron H. Aizenberg

Aaron works extremely hard to obtain the best possible results for his clients. That process starts right from the beginning of the representation, by understanding exactly what his clients’ goals are and identifying the best and most efficient way to achieve those goals. Aaron prides himself on keeping his clients involved in the process throughout the case, working with them as well as for them, and being as responsive of an attorney as you will ever deal with. You will never hear a client of Aaron’s say something like “I’ve been waiting days to hear back from my lawyer” or “I don’t know what’s going on in my case.” Aaron’s clients always know where their cases stand and what to expect going forward.

When you hire Aaron, you are hiring a lawyer who will embrace making your situation personal to him, no matter how difficult or challenging it is, and a lawyer who will do everything in his power to achieve the best possible resolution. Aaron’s outstanding legal work has been recognized by his peers, as he has been selected as a “Super Lawyer” and “Rising Star” by Wisconsin Super Lawyers (which recognizes the top 2.5% of attorneys in their respective fields, as voted on by peer review) for the past 12 years in a row.
