The Doctor’s Lawyer, PLLC

In 2022, Aaron founded The Doctor’s Lawyer, PLLC, where he represents medical providers who treat patients involved in personal injury litigation. These providers often become targets of invasive discovery by the liability insurance industry, which seeks access to private, financial, and trade secret information.

Aaron’s niche practice was shaped by his years as an insurance defense attorney (2008–2021). As a partner at Smoak, Chistolini, and Barnett, he handled complex discovery issues involving medical providers. During this time, he co-authored a chapter with Judge Elizabeth Rice in the Handbook on Civil Discovery Practice. They organized this complex area of law into a cohesive format for Florida judges.

Today, Aaron applies his expertise to protect clients from this same invasive discovery. The Florida Tort Reform Act of 2023 introduced sweeping changes that Aaron witnessed create industry-wide confusion. Accordingly, Aaron became a specialist on the statute and regularly publishes articles in Personal Injury Magazine and presents seminars across Florida to help medical providers navigate and thrive despite the new legal landscape.

Before entering private practice, Aaron served as Staff Attorney to Justice Barbara Pariente at the Florida Supreme Court. There, he honed the analytical, writing, and advocacy skills that have defined his legal career.

Aaron graduated cum laude from Stetson University College of Law, where he was named Most Outstanding Editor of the Stetson Law Review, received the James Carlisle Rogers Award for the best critical paper on a Supreme Court line of cases, and had his case note published in the Stetson Law Review.

Outside of law, Aaron is active in local sports leagues and enjoys writing and producing music in his home studio.
