About Ronald
Biography
Ron Abramson began his career with the New Hampshire Public Defender Program before establishing himself as one of the State's preeminent immigration lawyers. In a career spanning 30 years, Ron has handled a multitude of immigration, criminal defense, civil litigation, and international legal matters. Ron has also served as an international trade consultant, and as a law professor both in the U.S. and abroad.
As a naturalized United States citizen, Ron's passion and main professional focus is immigration law. He has successfully obtained all manner of business and family-based visas, has taught at national training programs, and has litigated a number of cases in the U.S. Circuit Courts. In light of Ron's extensive background in both immigration and criminal law, he regularly advises criminal defense lawyers and their clients about the potential immigration consequences of arrest/conviction.
Ron is a native Spanish speaker and also speaks basic French. Outside of work, Ron's interests include the outdoors, soccer, politics, history, philosophy, and reading.

Highly Recommend
Ronald Abramson is straight forward and thorough, the perfect balance of knowledge, experience, and caring. He explained everything concerning the request for evidence we received in detail so a non-lawyer could easily understand the situation, process, and possible results. I had total confidence ...

Using an Immigration Attorney is a must ... particurly now!
Now more than even the expertise of a professional immigration attorney to maneuver the every changing US immigration landscape is a must.

Ronald L Abramson's Lawyer Endorsements
"Ron has been a colleague for many years. His knowledge and experience have earned him the high respect of his colleagues in the the NH bar. He is the first attorney I talk to for advice on any immigration question. He is also a knowledgeable and skilled criminal defense attorney. He certainly has my endorsement."
"Over the last 22 years, I have worked closely with Ron and seen him excel as a criminal defense lawyer, and then watched as he refocused to become the most well-known and widely respected immigration lawyer in NH. Practically every lawyer I know has either consulted with Ron on an immigration issue or referred an immigration matter to him with absolute confidence that Ron will provide the highest quality advice and advocacy available in this area. The fact that he speaks fluent Spanish is a big bonus as well. Let me close by saying that if Ron is not available... I have to look to lawyers in Boston to get my immigrant clients they help they need."
"Ronald is an exceptional attorney in the immigration fields. I would recommend him to anybody seeking help with any immigration issue."
"If you need help with an immigration issue, Ron should be your first call. He's been my first call when I've had an immigration question - that's because Ron knows what he's talking about - Ron's stays up to date on the law and understands and knows how to navigate a very complex system."
"I endorse this lawyer.Top notch immigration lawyer. I routinely rely upon Attorney Abramson to guide my clients through the highly nuanced and technical federal immigration laws in the course of my representation of the same clients on the underlying criminal charge or civil matter."
"Ron is always the first person I call when I have a question about immigration or international law. There are few lawyers that have his experience and knowledge about the intersection of criminal law and immigration law. I also worked on a high profile criminal trial with Ron many years ago and we were was able to get one of the charges dismissed prior to trial because of his exhaustive research and creative legal thinking."
"I never hesitate to send clients to Ron when they have immigration needs. I know he will provide honest, fair, thoughtful and thorough assessment of any issues and give solid advice to confront the often difficult and emotional situations that arise for non-citizens."
