Founding Attorney · Best-Selling Author

Aaron Fransua knows what happens when there's no plan.

He lived it. At 23, Aaron lost his mother unexpectedly — and was thrust into legal and financial chaos while caring for his younger sister. That experience is why this firm exists — and why he wrote the best-selling book Protect What You've Built. Every family he serves gets the plan his own family never had.

Why Aaron does this work

The chaos he navigates for clients is chaos he once lived.

Most attorneys learn about probate in a classroom. Aaron learned about it standing in it — twenty-three years old, grieving his mother, suddenly responsible for his younger sister, and facing a tangle of accounts, paperwork, and legal questions that no one had prepared him for.

No family should have to figure out the legal system on the worst day of their lives. That conviction is the foundation of this firm.

It shapes how he practices today: with compassion, with education, and in plain English. Clients regularly say the same thing in their reviews — complicated things were finally explained in a way they could understand, and a subject they'd been dreading turned out to be manageable, even productive. That drive to educate reaches beyond his client list, too: Aaron is the best-selling author of Protect What You've Built, his guide to safeguarding your family, your business, and your legacy.

The other half of Aaron's perspective comes from entrepreneurship. He started his first firm in 2017, right out of the University of Colorado Law School, and has built AVID from the ground up — payroll, hiring, technology, growth decisions and all. Licensed in both Arizona and Colorado, today he serves as outside general counsel for businesses across both states, from construction companies to beauty brands. When he advises owners on succession, contracts, or an acquisition, it's advice rooted in both law and lived business experience.

How Aaron practices

Four commitments, kept every time.

Plain English, always

Legalese is a choice — and Aaron chooses against it. Every document explained page by page, every question welcome, no matter how simple it feels to ask.

Relationships, not transactions

The firm's business practice is reserved for families and companies it truly knows. When Aaron advises you, he's drawing on your whole picture — not a file he opened yesterday.

An owner's perspective

Aaron has met payroll, hired teams, and made growth bets with his own money. Business advice from someone who has actually run one hits different.

Flat fees, stated up front

Hourly billing makes clients afraid to call their own lawyer. Estate planning at AVID is flat-fee and all-inclusive — your investment is quoted before work begins.

Why "AVID" and not "Fransua Law"?

Simple: a founder's last name tells you nothing about whether a firm can help you. Aaron built the AVID brand — AVID Estates, AVID Counsel, AVID Contractors — so that entrepreneurs and families could actually find the legal help they're looking for. It's a small decision that says a lot about how this firm thinks: clarity over convention, client over ego.

"Aaron is an intelligent, compassionate attorney who works for the good of his clients. Lawyers always seem intimidating — but that is not Aaron. He made a stressful time quick and painless."
