Bio

Approach to the Law

Aaron grew up in Drayton Valley. He obtained his undergraduate degree in 2016 in Biological Sciences and thereafter worked in the oilfield in environmental consulting.

Aaron went back to law school in 2018, and during that time gained practical, law related experience working in the legal departments of a power generation and cannabis business, volunteering with thecriminal and civil division of Student Legal Services, and assisting with legal research in the areas of contract and oil & gas law.

After graduating from law school in 2021, Aaron articled with Main Street Law LLP in Spruce Grove, getting exposure to many areas of law.

Shortly after being called to the bar, he moved back home to primarily practice out of the Drayton Valley office of Main Street Law LLP

Aaron carries on a general legal practice, including Real Estate, Wills & Estates, Business Law, and Civil Litigation, all of which are essential services when living and working in a smaller community.

Approach to the Law

Aaron approaches the law as a helping profession. A lawyer helps with legal problems: whether buying your first home, administering the estate of a loved one, beginning a business, or suing for a debt.

Aaron aims to provide Advice that is conscious of a client’s issues, while being cost-effective and creative in finding practical solutions that work.

Working with Main Street Law LLP provides the flexibility of being a local lawyer, while accessing the resources of a larger firm when required.
