Divorce Case

Very unprofessional person, she couldnt fet an agreement on a decision to have my buy out more money and i deserve more being married for a long time, not to mention she just got up and left her practice and didnt tell me about it , Gave her 4, 000 for what she didnt even finished my case.

Avoid

We trusted Ronda Cotroneo, believing she would secure partial custody of my grandchildren. Ronda advised my son to sign a contract if he ever wanted to see his children again. The contract actually took away his ability to visit. Several other attorneys questioned why my son signed the contract b...ecause they claimed it was the worst agreement they had ever seen. We would have been better off going in front of a judge with no attorney. If this contract can be reversed, it will cost a staggering amount to undo this damage. Ronda received $7000.00 and walked away, leaving us to bear the brunt of her actions. It was the worst experience ever; avoid her.

Highly Recommend

Ronda is a wonderful lawyer. Sharp, knowledgeable, and responsive. My divorce took a couple of turns and got complicated but Ronda was always on top of it. She always listened to and considered all of my concerns which was very important to me. I was very pleased overall and highly recommend her!...

Amazing lawyer

I just want to take the time to write how grateful I am to have met Ms Ronda. She helped me to obtain relocation for my son after having a final restraining order issued against my abuser, my sons father. Ms Ronda is not only personable but she is very responsive and also would actually take the time... to speak to me as a human not just a pay check. She constantly would ask me on a regular not only how I was but also my son since this was affecting him as well. I would definitely, but hope I don’t have to, use Ms Ronda again if I need a family lawyer. Not only is she an amazing lawyer but an amazing human something that is truly hard to find now a days.

Worst lawyer

The worst attorney I have met in my life. Very irresponsible and lack of knowledge. Lost two cases with her. Cares only about money and not the end result.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
