All litigators are lawyers but not all lawyers are litigators. Aaron Reed is a proven, skilled, and winning trial attorney. Call today for a free consultation.. Aaron J. Reed is originaly from Las Vegas, NV, and lived there for 23 years before moving to Phoenix, Arizona to attend law school. Aaron received his bachelors degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), where he was a 3-time letterwinner for the football team as a wide receiver as well as two-time Academic All Conference selection.. Aaron's passion for criminal defense started during his time at UNLV. Aaron began an internship with his uncle Norman Reed, who was a deputy public defender with the Clark County Public Defender's Office. Norman was a member of the homicide unit and routinley handed death penalty homicide cases. Aaron fell in love with criminal defense and immediately began the process of applying to law school.. Upon moving to Phoenix, Aaron's passion for criminal defense only intensified. He began a judicial externship with the Honorable Sherry Stephens of the Maricopa County Superior Court. After this, Aaron worked as an extern for the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office, working on a project to help illegal immigrants who were convicted under a law that was deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. After this, Aaron became a law clerk for Kenneth S. Countryman before passing the bar.. Aaron was originally hired by the Dwane Cates Law Group in 2018 and began specializing in major felony cases.

This experience led to a partnership with Dwane Cates in 2022. Together they handle any type of criminal matter and bring the aggression and experience with them. Aaron is also a well traveled attorney. He has been the lead litigator on felony cases in every county in Arizona except for one (Greenlee County) and continually gets fantastic results for his clients, including numerous outright acquittals after jury trials.. Aaron has never been a prosecutor. He has never worked together with the police to convict people of crimes. Lots of attorneys believe this is something to brag about, and that it gives them a leg up on the competition. This isn't true. Former prosecutors still know many police officers, other prosecutors and people who help put people in prison. Don't hire someone who has been in bed with the other side. Hire an attorney who has always been an advocate for the accused.. Aaron is a hard working, dedicated attorney who takes pride in fighting for people's rights. He is a 7-time SuperLawyer Rising Star (2019-2025). Most recently, Aaron was selected for the Top 100 Trial Lawyers from The National Trial Lawerrs.
