About Aaron
Biography
Aaron obtained his undergraduate degree in Spanish Language and Literature, graduating Summa Cum Laude from Garner-Webb University. While in college, Aaron studied abroad in both Alajuela, Costa Rica and León, Spain. After college, Aaron moved to León, Spain to continue his studies of the Spanish language. In 2012 Aaron entered Campbell University School of Law where he served as an editor for the Campbell Law Review, competed in mock trial, and served as a teaching scholar for the legal research and writing department. He was awarded the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Calhoun Advocacy Award in 2015. Later that year, Aaron graduated third in his class and Magna Cum Laude.
Aaron began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Wake County where he prosecuted misdemeanor charges including driving while impaired (DWI), driving after consuming under the age of 21, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, assaults, larceny, and various traffic violations. Traffic violations included hit and run, speeding to elude law enforcement, careless and reckless driving, school zone violations, speeding, and others.
Aaron joined Hatch, Little & Bunn in 2016 where he continues to use his prior experiences and skills to zealously advocate for clients charged with misdemeanors, felonies, infractions, and traffic violations.
