Aaron is among the leaders of the “next generation” of young, aggressive, and passionate DUI attorneys. As a former Kirkland Municipal prosecutor Aaron is well acquainted with the DUI defense bar and as such he has encountered numerous arguments and situations related to DUI defense. Aaron has been able to benefit from that experience and incorporates that knowledge into his practice to the benefit of his clients. His affiliation with Cowan Kirk and Gaston, one of the most respected and talented firms in the state, is a testimonial in itself. I endorse Aaron and his work.
