Biography

Trial-tested and client-focused, Aaron J. Reed has built a criminal defense practice defined by hard-fought victories and rare accessibility. Aaron dedicates his entire practice to defending the accused, driven by a long-standing passion for criminal law and a commitment to stand beside those facing the power of the state. He has secured multiple “not guilty” verdicts across serious felony allegations, including homicide cases (first-degree premeditated murder and felony-murder), kidnapping, aggravated assault, sex-related charges involving minors, and major narcotics cases involving sale, transportation, and possession. Just as important to Aaron as results is the way clients are treated throughout the case. He prioritizes proactive updates and fast responses, returning messages after hours and on weekends, and he will even take calls on holidays so clients are never left wondering what happens next. Beyond the courtroom, Aaron provides legal analysis as a guest contributor on prominent networks such as Court TV, Law & Crime Network, LiveNOW Fox, Newsmax, and local Phoenix media. His work has earned consistent recognition, including eight consecutive Super Lawyers Rising Stars selections (2018–2025), National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Attorney, and annual Avvo Client’s Choice Awards (2017–2025). He also offers a free 30-minute consultation handled directly by Aaron.
