Aaron is passionate about getting complex matters right for clients and he’s passionate about education. Not surprisingly then, he usually jumps at the chance to present or train in his areas of expertise.
Aaron’s most common CLE taught is “Malpractice Minefield,” and is typically advertised as something like this:
“Representing military members or their dependents in family law matters can be a malpractice minefield, especially when practitioners don’t know what they don’t know! Mr. Drake will provide federal and state law-based guidance on military service generally, identification and calculation of various retirement and disability benefits, division of military retirement pay, VA disability compensation and its intersection with retirement pay, discovery tips and strategies, impact of civilian convictions, service of process and subpoenas on federal entities, and the legal ramifications of deployment on families.”
