Certified Family Law Specialist, State Bar of Arizona. Experienced and Effective.
Aaron T. Blase is a Certified Family Law Specialist with the State Bar of Arizona, has been practicing law for over 27 years, and has earned a reputation for providing diligent, honest and dedicated legal services to those living in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding Maricopa County. He dedicates his practice solely to the area of family law. Divorce and legal separation, legal decision-making and parenting issues, complex asset division, spousal maintenance, and paternity are a few of the areas he covers in his practice. Mr. Blase has been recognized by his peers for his outstanding work and commitment to the spirit of the legal profession. That respect has resulted in his receiving an "AV Preeminent" peer review rating through Martindale-Hubbell, being selected as a Southwest SuperLawyer, and receiving a 10.0 "Superb" review rating through AVVO. His knowledge of the law, professional work ethic, and caring attitude for his clients allows him to stand out among other attorneys in the field. Mr. Blase is an active member of the Family Law section of the State Bar of Arizona, the Maricopa County Bar Association, the Scottsdale Bar Association, and the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts.
His career before his time as a family lawyer is equally impressive. He served as Senior Assistant County Counselor for the Sedgwick County, Kansas Counselor's Office where he provided legal advice and representation to elected and appointed officials, prosecuting and defending the County's interests before State and Federal Courts and prosecuting violations of all County resolutions in the County Court.
Aaron Blase may be studious and conscientious, but he's also a bit of a jock. When he isn't working on cases and spending time with his family, he loves to participate in sports. He was on the All-City soccer team in high school, was a 4-year letterman on the varsity soccer team in college (including All-Conference recognition), and he volunteers as a youth soccer coach. He also loves pickleball, racquetball, skiing and hiking - especially in Colorado, where he loves to go during the summer.
You won't find anyone better prepared for court hearings, and one of the special skills he brings to the table as a family lawyer is exceptional writing ability. Aaron won two Top Paper awards while in law school -- the best in his class.
Aaron grew up in Kansas and graduated from Friends University in Wichita, where he was a 4-year President's Scholar. He received his degree in Business Administration and History. Aaron earned his J.D. degree from Washburn University School of Law in Topeka. He then went on to get his LL.M. in Tax Law from the University of Denver School of Law. Aaron is admitted to practice in three states -- Arizona, Colorado, and Kansas.

I endorse this lawyer. Aaron is extremely detail-oriented for his clients, yet is also very polite and professional in dealing with opposing counsel - a trait that often is ignored in family law cases.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Mr. Blase for approximately three years. During this time I have become acquainted with his work habits (which are stellar), his attention to detail and his overall approach to the practice of law. Mr. Blase is a very disciplined and careful attorney whose philosophy is always designed to put his clients in the best position possible often times when they are involved in the most trying of circumstances. Judges respect and appreciate Mr. Blase's professional and gentlemanly approach, which why he is an effective trial lawyer. Clients should always remember who their audience is - JUDGES! I therefore strongly recommend Aaron Blase to those who seek divorce or who seek modifications of orders already existing.
Stephen Vertucci, Divorce and separation Attorney on Aug 29, 2010

Aaron is a compassionate and extremely knowledgeable family law attorney. The difference between Aaron and other family law attorneys is his preparation, knowledge of the law, and the customer service he provides his clients. Aaron represents clients with a command of the facts, the law and a drive to protect the children in a divorce and place his clients in the best possible position to succeed.
