Aaron Peterson

Attorney

A Harvard Law graduate with deep Arizona ties, Aaron is known for his thoughtful approach and commitment to helping clients through challenging cases.

About

Aaron was born in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to Arizona early in his life.  He attended University of Arizona and graduated with honors with a double major in History and Political Science in 1999. He attended Harvard Law School and received his Juris Doctorate in 2003. Since graduating, Aaron has worked in a variety of areas including personal injury, insurance, construction defect, and criminal law. He also spent several years out of the law helping to run his family’s small construction business.

His legal philosophy is two-fold: to put his clients in the best position in their cases by, among other things, challenging the evidence and the witnesses against his clients when he can, and to make inherently stressful  situations as painless as possible. Aaron will not only be a valuable ally in Court, but will shepard his clients through other aspects of their cases and will resolve the cases as satisfactorily as possible.
