I endorse him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs a thoughtful and effective lawyer to address their business, entertainment, real estate, and litigation needs."

Colleagues of mine were approached by a successful national franchise looking to expand its interests in the U.S. Aaron and his team immediately and seamlessly met and consulted with the group who knew right away they were in good hands. Since then, he has expanded their brand through additional registered trademarks, provided counsel regarding wholly owned non-profit sectors of the company, and successfully litigated a trademark opposition with the USPTO's TTAB."

"Aaron is a dynamic attorney with a breadth of experience seldom seen. As a business owner and long-time supporter of music and arts in New York, he understands entertainment and intellectual property law from the artist's side. I would certainly recommend him without hesitation to any level of client, from a small startup package to a bet-the-company litigation."
