An Arizona native, Aaron grew up in the Valley and found his way to a law degree after briefly considering an engineering career. He joined Burch & Cracchiolo in 2019 to focus his practice on employment law/litigation and commercial litigation.

Aaron pursued legal action against cities, counties, and towns deemed to have violated state law and the Arizona constitution. In addition, Aaron investigated and prosecuted violations of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act.

Aaron received his J.D. from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2016. While there, he contributed to the Jurimetrics Law Journal: ABA Section for Science and Technology.
