Event Information

Aaron was born in the middle of seven children and after graduating high school in Oconee County, South Carolina, he attended Clemson University.  Upon his graduation from Clemson, Aaron moved to San Francisco, CA to work for an Inc. 500 company.

Shortly thereafter, he enrolled in the Charlotte School of Law in Charlotte, NC where he befriended his future law and business partner, Kevin Molony. While in law school, Aaron completed a summer study abroad course in Galway, Ireland where he received instruction from the Honorable Chief Justice John Roberts of the U.S. Supreme Court.

After law school, Aaron returned to the Upstate and began his practice in Clemson where he focused on DUI and Criminal Defense before moving his practice to Greenville to build the practice around representing judgment creditors in the enforcement of their judgments.

After associating with his law school buddy Kevin on many successful judgment collection cases, the two decided to make it official and joined forces as Angell Molony, LLC nearly a decade ago.  In that span, the firm has also launched an asset search division that offers legal asset opinions for attorneys across the state and nationwide.  With offices in Aiken and Greenville, Angell Molony has earned the reputation as the go-to attorneys for Judgment Enforcement and Asset Searches.

When not practicing law, Aaron enjoys grilling, an occasional golf outing, vacationing in Edisto and Telluride, CO and spending time with his beautiful bride, Olivia and their five young children.  Aaron and his family reside in Greenville, SC and are active members of Second Presbyterian Church on the corner of River and Rhett streets in downtown Greenville.

While in law school, Kevin became instant friends with Aaron. During the summers in law school, Kevin clerked for the Solicitor's Office in both Georgetown and Horry Counties.
After law school, Kevin began his legal career as a judicial clerk for The Honorable William P. Keesley. Kevin then joined the Second Circuit Solicitor's Office as an assistant solicitor for Strom Thurmond, Jr. While at the Solicitor's Office, Kevin tried a wide array of cases, including violent crime and drug-related matters.
After spending close to five years prosecuting criminal cases, Kevin hung his own shingle and began handling judgment collections cases. Since that time, he and his old pal, Aaron, have joined forces on tracking down judgment debtors and providing unmatched legal asset opinions to attorneys across the state and nationwide.
When he isn't playing "lawyer", Kevin enjoys all things Gamecock related, playing golf, chasing white tails and mallards, playing baseball in the backyard with his boys and jamming out on his guitar during Sunday morning worship services at Cedar Creek Church.  Kevin resides in Aiken, SC with his wife, daughter and two sons.
