His experience includes the litigation of defective construction and property damage claims (including defective stucco cases), constitutional claims under Section 1983, Lanham Act violations (unfair business practices and cyber-squatting), ERISA violations, quiet title and ejectment actions, contract disputes, corporate and business disputes, special exception/conditional use/variance awards, easement disputes, confessions of judgment, adverse possession claims, lis pendens disputes, subcontractor claims, homeowners’ association actions, lease agreements, employment disputes, inheritances, guardianships, and complex divorce, custody and support cases.
Aaron received his Bachelor of Arts in economics from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, where he was a Presidential Scholar and National Merit Scholar. He spent a year studying European and international economics at the University of Paris (Nanterre) in the French university system, and obtained his Juris Doctor from the Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. At Dickinson he was a member of the Woolsack Society and published in the Dickinson Law Review.
