A modern approach
Aaron began practicing law in 2006. After his first few cases, he realized a few things:
His law school professors had no idea what they were talking about
The practice of law often defies common sense and is not intuitive
His peers and competitors were all doing things the same way simply because that’s the way everyone else did it — a circular, self-perpetuating system of error
So he took action. First, Aaron dove headfirst into training, searching for what law school didn’t provide. He went to the eight-day National Family Law Trial Institute in Houston. He went to a Trial Lawyers College seminar in Seattle and after that every jury selection and sex crime defense program that the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers hosted. He completed all available financial education classes for lawyers, including the Advanced Business Valuation seminar in Houston and a year-long Certified Financial Planner® certificate course at Southern Methodist University. These are just examples. Aaron has attended every significant trial advocacy and financial education program available in the past decade, even throughout the pandemic.
At the same time, he found and read the leading books on decision-making, business development, and best practices for advisors and service providers, including “Thinking in Bets,” “Thinking Fast and Slow,” “Unreasonable Hospitality,” and the Ritz Carlton hotel’s “Gold Standards” for customer service. He acquired and read every book available for attorneys about how to deal successfully with obstructionists and knuckleheads who refused to cooperate just to be difficult and run up a big fee in litigation. Over the course of a decade, Aaron built a comprehensive private library of materials covering finance, wealth management, cutting-edge psychological research on human decision-making, and advanced business concepts.
As a result, Aaron is recognized and ranked by the world’s most exclusive, prestigious guides for people who need lawyers. He is:
