Interview with Top-Notch San Diego Attorney

Big-Time Attorney Back from Circumnavigating the Globe

After circumnavigating the globe on the high seas, Attorney William Aron returns to San Diego to reopen his law practice.  The former University of Virginia Law Professor, high stakes litigation consultant, and former Deputy District Attorney has found his way back to Sunny San Diego.  What follows is an excerpt from an interview with the Duke Law School Alumnus:

Interviewer:  I know that you had an excellent reputation as a trial lawyer here in San Diego.  What inspired you to leave in 2006? 

Aron:  I love San Diego, after all, that is why I am back, however, I had some incredible opportunities that I felt I couldn’t pass up.

Interviewer:  Such as?

Aron:  I was offered a consulting position in the Big Apple (New York City).  I got to work on some of the most complex litigation matter anywhere in the world.  It was exciting and exhausting, and most importantly, I learned a lot. Working on $500 Million disputes was energizing, however, I really missed the client contact.  The most rewarding thing about the practice of law is the connection that you get with your clients.  I think this is what inspired me to earn a Masters Degree in Psychology while at Duke Law School.  I know it sounds funny to some, but I honestly believe the law is a helping profession.

Interviewer:  Interesting take.  Are you telling me the guys with the slick back hair on all those Pacific Law Center commercials sincerely want to help me?

Aron: (laughing) No comment.

Interviewer: Moving on, so what did you do after serving as a consultant in New York City?

Aron:  I travelled around the world.

Interviewer: For fun?                       

Aron: It was a blast; however, I was also working as a University of Virginia Professor of Law.  I travelled around the world aboard a floating campus through the Semester at Sea Program.

Interviewer: Road Rules?

Aron: Yes, same program, however, I don’t think MTV did it justice.  I highly recommend the program to anyone and would be more than happy to discuss it.  In the interim, check out their official site: www.semesteratsea.com

Interviewer: What countries did you go to?

Aron: You asked for it, here it goes:  We went East around the world: Bahamas, Brazil (for Carnival of course), South Africa, Mauritius, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Costa Rica, Panama Canal, then finally, Miami.

Interviewer: Wow, this was school! When did you find time for classes?

Aron: When at sea, we did the class thing.  I taught Criminal Law, Negotiation, and Dispute Resolution.

Interviewer: Did this experience help you grow as a lawyer?

Aron: Absolutely, I believe the more experiences you have the better you can relate to and counsel your clients.  I think every professional should be required to travel in addition to the mandatory continuing education requirements imposed on lawyers, doctors, and the like. 

Interviewer: Required, huh?

Aron: Yeah, I think book learning is important, but it’s not everything.

Interviewer: Before we wrap up, give us one free piece of legal advice.

Aron: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so please don’t drink and drive, however, if you ever find yourself in that situation, know how to handle it properly.

Interviewer: Meaning…?

Aron: Refuse everything at the scene. Don’t partake in the Field Sobriety Tests (walk the line, etc.), don’t answer questions (but be polite), and most importantly do not take the breathalyzer that the cops carry in their vehicles.   Instead, let the officer arrest you and take the breathalyzer test at the police station.  Then of course, contact an attorney immediately.  If you follow my advice, you will give your lawyer the best chance to defend you. 

Interviewer: Thanks for your time, Mr. Aron. 

Aron: Call me, Bill. Unnecessary formalities are just that…unnecessary.
