After law school, Aaron moved back to his home town of Fort Wayne where he started his legal career with the Thomas Law Firm, P.C.,  a boutique litigation firm based out of the Fort Wayne area.  Aaron moved back to the Indianapolis area in 2012, but he continued to work for the Thomas Law Firm until 2018.  While with the Thomas Law Firm, Aaron gained substantial experience in many areas of law, including civil litigation, criminal defense, contract drafting and review, and appellate practice.  In 2018, Aaron took his career in a new direction when he accepted a position as a Planned Giving Officer with the Riley Children's Foundation.  As a Planned Giving Officer, Aaron was able to use his legal knowledge of estate planning and tax law to assist generous donors who wished to make impactful gifts for the benefit of Riley Hospital for Children.  Although Aaron very much enjoyed his time with the Riley Children's Foundation, he did miss representing clients in the active practice of law.  After 3.5 years with the Riley Children's Foundation, Aaron decided to open his own law practice, Westlake Law, LLC.
