I graduated cum laude from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, Gainesville, Fl with awards in Tort Law and Advanced Appellate Advocacy. Before law school, I attended New College of Florida where I studied Economics.
I grew up overseas my entire life - I lived in Thailand, Egypt, and throughout Africa and South America, ultimately graduating from highschool in Cairo, Egypt. This par to of my background makes me really appreciate the freedoms we enjoy as United States citizens because I have seen, first hand, countries where there is no rule of law, where martial law reigns and where there is no such thing as human rights or the 4th Amendment.
I consider defending citizens accused of crimes to be a great honor and the promise I make every client is that I will fight as hard as I can, every time, to protect the liberties that our forefathers secured for us with their blood and sweat.
When I am not fighting for my clients in and out of Court, I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I am a black belt under Master Roberto "cyborg" Abreu.
I want to go on record as saying that avvo.com does not, in my opinion, fairly and accurately evaluate attorneys nor does it provide customers with valid comparisons, if such comparisons could ever be valid. I urge all consumers to fully research all attorneys and to write or call for more information about a firm or an attorney's qualifications or experience.

In my thirtysix years of law practice, I have not seen an attorney with the trial skills, work ethic and perserverance to match at this stage of his career. Aarons grasp of the law and his tactical skills are exceptional. Anyone facing a DUI charge would be foolish to not have him as their counsel. He is truly a force to be reckoned with both in and out of the courtroom. I am honored to have him work by my side as my law partner.
