About Aaron
Aaron Spolin is an attorney who has moved between public service and private practice since finishing law school. He earned a B.A. in Public Policy from Princeton University in 2008 and completed his J.D. at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law in 2013. Those academic years included early policy work and a sequence of law office placements that shaped his early career.
After undergraduate study, Spolin worked in Washington. He interned in Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Senate office and later served as Princeton-in-Washington coordinator. He spent time as a business analyst at McKinsey & Company in 2008 before enrolling at Berkeley Law. During law school he interned and clerked in California and New York, including a law clerk position in 2011 at the Office of the District Lawyer in Santa Clara County and a 2012 judicial externship for Judge Schira Scheindlin in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Spolin moved into prosecutorial work after graduation. In 2013 he joined the Office of the District Lawyer in New York City’s Bronx County as an Assistant District Lawyer. That role placed him in front-line criminal matters and trial practice. He left public prosecution work a few years later and by 2016 was practicing at Spolin & Dukes P.C., where his caseload has included criminal defense and civil rights matters.
Across those roles, Spolin has handled courtroom work, investigations and appeals. He is admitted to practice in multiple state jurisdictions, including Texas, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and California, and he is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. His memberships include the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the Los Angeles County Criminal Courts Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association and the State Bar of Michigan.
Colleagues describe him as practical in court and attentive to procedural detail. His background blends prosecutorial experience and defense practice, which influences how he evaluates evidence and prepares for trial. He has worked on matters that involve constitutional questions alongside traditional criminal charges, balancing litigation strategy with motions practice and client counseling.
Today he practices at Spolin & Dukes P.C., handling criminal defense and civil rights cases in state and federal courts. His current practice concentrates on defending individuals in criminal matters and pursuing civil rights claims on their behalf.
