Aaron M. English

Skilled and diligent guidance on our commercial property purchase

We engaged Aaron M. English at Torkin Manes LLP to assist with the acquisition of a small commercial building in the Detroit area. While his firm is based in Toronto, his understanding of the cross-border nuances and his specific recognition in Real Estate Law by Best Lawyers gave us confidence. Aaron proved to be exceptionally thorough, meticulously reviewing the title history and zoning ordinances, and his attention to detail during the due diligence phase was invaluable. He clearly explained complex contractual clauses in plain language, which helped us make informed decisions and avoid several potential pitfalls. The transaction closed smoothly, largely due to his proactive approach. The one area where we experienced a slight delay was in receiving responses to non-urgent emails, which sometimes took a day or two. However, when matters were time-sensitive, he was immediately available. For a lawyer with his level of recognized expertise, his billing was fair, though the overall cost was slightly higher than we initially budgeted. We would certainly recommend Aaron for real estate matters, especially for clients who value precision and strategic foresight over the absolute lowest cost.
