Legal Professional

"Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there."
Will Rogers

Summary

Aaron Honaker does nothing but focus – on his client’s problems, how to make them successful, how to come in under budget, and how to make the individuals and entities he works with winners in their respective organizations and industries. He quit big law to follow his former boss and managing partner - playing an integral role in getting a new and ultimately highly-successful law firm off the ground - filled with people that live and die for clients, not for billable hours and origination fees. I have over 13 years of experience battling for individuals and companies facing crisis. Whether negotiating a complex financial restructuring, litigating bet-the-company disputes, or helping "Joe Six Pack" avoid the foreclosure and loss of his home, I am known for my deep, strategic thinking and tenacious approach.

I am a former attorney looking to forge a new career path. I am highly motivated and driven, with vast experience and expertise in complex legal issues that arise in high-stakes commercial litigation and business reorganizations, as well as liquidations and distressed asset acquisitions. I am hardworking and dedicated, with an unrivaled grit, unflinching fortitude, and unparalleled commitment to advocacy.
