We had the privilege of working with Aaron Pelley on a highly complex real estate and business transaction, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the very beginning, Aaron was incredibly communicative—always quick to respond to calls and emails—and took the time to explain every step of the proce ss in detail. His dedication to understanding the nuances of our situation and ensuring nothing was overlooked made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. What truly sets Aaron apart is his integrity and work ethic. When an error occurred during the transaction, he immediately took full responsibility, resolved the issue quickly, and didn’t charge us for the extra time. His professionalism and commitment to doing the right thing gave us complete confidence throughout the process. If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, reliable, and ethical, we wholeheartedly recommend Aaron Pelley.

I’ve been working with Aaron since 2018. Each time we have worked together he is thorough, knowledgeable, and patient with a huge fire to achieve the goal. He also has always been realistic of what is possible and what is not. I appreciate that so much as some attorneys will only tell you what you wa nt to hear. I always feel supported in my needs while also put at ease due to his complete understanding of the business and people he represents. The team he surrounds himself with are also all stars. Ted and Chris are awesome to work with as well. Each member of the team offers their own unique skill. Where this asset only makes Aaron stronger in representation of his clients. No stone unturned, Aaron GETS THE JOB DONE. I trust him with my life and freedom. 10/10 would recommend.

We needed a representative with extensive cannabis expertise because our business partners ended up being not so great partners. Since we couldnt use our previous business attorney, we asked everyone we respected in the industry and got several recommendations to go with Aaron. One recommendation came from a friend who, with Aaron's help, had just won a 2 year legal battle against his former partner for a large settlement. So it was pretty easy to trust Aaron's experience, and I had personally seen his success with my friend. Our situation was complex and layered. When we explained the circumstances, Aaron quickly and easily understood the complexities. He jumped in and took control of the communication with the other side. The previous partners legal representative was very combative and overly aggressive. They also had much deeper pockets than us, and were attempting to bully the situation to run up my legal bills. Aaron easily saw through this and was able to prevent them from dragging us into a deeper or ongoing situation. He was more clever and knowledgeable than their representation. His communications with them were firm, but not combative or retaliatory to their negativity. I think he had a great read of the circumstances and the people involved. And he maneuvered through the problems and communications excellently. He also helped give us better perspective of our situation as it dragged on. He helped us understand the need for our personal restraint, and made suggestions for how we could maneuver going forward for our personal and business success. In the end,we got out of the partnership, with minimal headaches, and are in a much better position now thanks to the advice and guidance that Aaron gave us. We would highly recommend to work with him if you are lucky enough to.

He takes the time to explain legal concepts and processes to you in a way that you can understand. Aaron has always been an ex cellent attorney who is a strategic thinker and can approach legal issues with creative and effective problem-solving skills. He can adapt to changing circumstances and adjust strategies accordingly. I strongly recommend and endorse him.

Chris is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable, kept me in the loop the entire time, and walked me through the process including potential pitfalls. He successfully negotiated a larger settlement than expected while avoiding a trial. I highly recommend Chris and would hire him again in an instant should the need ever arise.
