About Aaron
Biography
I've been an attorney for almost a decade now, and I've done almost exclusively criminal defense work. I spent 6 years as a public defender in Petersburg, so I have a lot of experience working on violent crimes and drug cases. I handle mostly trial work now, but I was also the appellate supervisor for the Public Defender's Office in Petersburg, so I will also accept criminal appellate cases. I am now working as a private attorney out of Buckingham County. I own a few acres of land in New Canton, and I like working with my hands. I'm a practicing Catholic, and I got married recently. I work on weekends when it is required, but I am also a firm believer in family time. I generally will take calls on Saturdays in the case of an emergency, but never on Sundays.

Tremendous defense counsel
Aaron's representation was second to none. I was terrified about the possible outcome of my case, which wasn't good. I was accused of having been speeding (way more than 20 over), driving without a license, and driving on an expired license. (The prosecution never explained how I could have been driv...
