Aaron grew up in a family of criminal defense attorneys. Criminal
defense is all he has had ever known. So, when it came time to choose a
career he did not have to think twice. Aaron realized early on that
being a criminal defense attorney was more than following in his
family's footsteps. For Aaron, defending those who have been charged
with a crime is an opportunity to defend their constitutional rights
afforded by the United States Constitution.
Before his career as a defense attorney, Aaron was raised in Phoenix,
Arizona and attended Brophy College Preparatory. After graduating from
Brophy, he attended The University of Arizona where he majored in
Political Science.
While in college, Aaron was a player and the president of Arizona Rugby
Football Club. Upon graduating from college, Aaron decided to pursue a
Law Degree. He followed a long family tradition and attended the
University of South Dakota where he focused his studies on becoming a
criminal defense attorney. While obtaining an excellent education, he
spent time on the South Dakota family farm hunting and fishing.
Aaron was quickly employed by the Office of the Maricopa County Public
Defender after passing both the Arizona and South Dakota Bar Exams.
During this time he became more confident that being a prosecutor was
not something that he wanted to pursue. Aaron has never had a desire to
ruin anyone’s life by putting them in jail because they made a mistake.
During his time as a public defender, Aaron became more interested in
focusing on DUI defense in Arizona.
As a Deputy Public Defender, Aaron defended hundreds of individuals
charged with serious felony offenses including Drug, Conspiracy,
Aggravated Assault, Aggravated DUI, Manslaughter, Murder, Money
Laundering and almost every other crime in Arizona. During this time
Aaron honed his skills as a defense lawyer.
Aaron looks at his job as a check and balance on the Police, Prosecution
and the Courts. He truly enjoys protecting his clients so that they do
not get convicted of a crime by the government with undue haste. He
focuses on the fact that we all have Constitutional Rights and he is
proud that he can guarantee his clients’ Rights are protected while in
the court system. Aaron does not care if his client committed a crime.
In fact, it’s not even a question he asks. What he truly focuses on is
if the Government can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Good people sometimes find themselves in bad situations. To Aaron that
does not mean that those caught in a bad situation are criminals or even
guilty of a crime.
Aaron spent countless hours in the courtroom, argued over 50 jury
trials, tried over 100 bench trial, and became a highly experienced
litigator. Aaron’s trial experience sharpened his litigation skills,
giving him invaluable insight into the legal system and making him one
of the premier defense attorneys in Phoenix, Arizona.
Currently, Aaron is in private practice as a criminal and DUI defense
lawyer. His focus on Criminal Defense and DUI Defense in all Arizona
justice, municipal, state and federal courts has resulted in widespread
recognition and numerous awards.
Aaron is licensed to practice law in the states of Arizona and South Dakota.
