About

Aaron has dedicated his practice to representing individuals against the wealthy and powerful, whether they be corporate, governmental, or an individual. After passing the California and Oregon bars in 2012, Aaron opened his own practice, Alecto Law, which he successfully ran for four years. The name Alecto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alecto) reflects Aaron’s passion for going to trial against greedy bullies who would hurt their own customers and clients for profit. In 2016, Aaron joined a non-profit in San Francisco (The Eviction Defense Collaborative) and provided court representation to at least 75 tenants facing eviction. With a preference for Plaintiff’s work (as opposed to defense), Aaron then joined Dawson & Rosenthal in 2017 in order to take on insurance companies for wrongfully denying claims in pursuit of profit.Aaron received his Bachelor’s degree from Lewis & Clark College in 2007 and his law degree from Santa Clara Law in 2011. During law school, Aaron interned at the Inter American Court of Human Rights in Costa Rica, and repeatedly won awards for his oral advocacy, including Best Oralist at the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition in New York. He served as co-president of the Environmental Law Society and received awards for outstanding academic achievement and the Pro-Bono Recognition Award. Aaron is licensed in Arizona, California, and Oregon and has assisted in multiple jury trials.

I want to thank Aaron for helping me through this, fighting for what is right, always keeping me up to date and answering all my questions. You are absolutely amazing. Words cannot express the professionalism, you and your team has given me, in my time of need. You were very kind, understanding and very helpful. Calls, emails etc… were beyond my expectations. I will gladly recommend your services when and where applicable and of course, I will carry your business card in my purse. Thank you so much for your help with my case, you handled everything with dignity and compassion, just what people need in stressful situations. Thank you again, in resolving the case so quickly and professionally. GOD BLESS

One of the reasons why I retained Aaron is because he returned my call on a Friday and was prepared to move forward by the following Monday morning. His prompt attention and enthusiasm is what separates him from the rest. Apart from being competent, thorough, and a strong advocate he’s also a very nice guy. His rates are very reasonable and the value is certainly there. I’ve had many attorneys represent me over the years and I consider Aaron to be one of the best. He has certainly earned my trust and respect – and I can’t say that about all attorneys.

Aaron Dawson was both helpful & compassionate while we were going through a ridiculous lawsuit. He never lost hope in our case and if it wasn't for of his suggestions we probably would have taken the easy way out of this ordeal and filed for bankruptcy. He was very considerate in our situation and worked through all of our adversities.

Aaron is unique in that he is driven by the incentive of Justice. Whether that translates to large financial settlements, or -- well, that's usually how it is, he will listen and work with you. But, most of all, he wants justice for you. If he doesn't know something, he will tell you. If he thinks your case is better handled elsewhere, he'll tell you and recommend someone. My case was super complex too. Personal Injury, Environmental Law, Local Rent Ordinances, Tenant/Landlord, Civil Rights. A lot was on the line. Glad I found him. It's refreshing. Wouldn't go elsewhere. First stop.

What an amazing, law firm, Aaron Dawson has went above and beyond to help me in my case!!! His heart is 100% for his clients, he truly cares, I have not yet seen him in the court room, but I can only imagine, what I have seen is the letter he drafted up for a demand to the company that wrongfully fired me!! When I have tears or emotions he has so much sympathy for me. Aaron I believe w/all my heart is in this to make a difference for our world, for hurting people like me!!! Thank you Aaron for all you have done and what you are still doing!! There are not too many people left in this world like you!!! Sincerely your friend, and client, Sherry Wanner
