Aaron joined Loevy & Loevy in 2024. His practice is broad and includes cases and investigations on Loevy’s civil rights, privacy, corporate accountability, and consumer class action dockets.
Prior to joining Loevy, Aaron served as a law clerk for the Honorable Senior District Judge Joan H. Lefkow and Magistrate Judge Young B.

Before clerking, Aaron worked as a legal fellow for the ACLU of Kentucky, where he helped lead the nonprofit’s justice reform docket. Aaron was at the ACLU of Kentucky during 2020, and he worked on cases that sought to protect incarcerated people from the coronavirus pandemic and uphold the rights of Black Lives Matter protesters.

While in law school he served as a comments and recruitment editor for the University of Chicago Legal Forum and as President of the Law School’s ACLU student chapter. He worked in the Civil Rights: Police Accountability and International Human Rights Clinics and completed internships with the ACLU of Alaska and the National Immigrant Justice Center.
