She’s the best!!

Ronda is great!!! Divorce is one of the hardest things in life you may go through. But no matter what she always tried to brighten your day with some laughter when I wanted to cry. She really cares for you as person not just as another case. I can’t imagine going through what I did with anyone else... by my side. She truly is the best!!!

I can’t recommend her enough!

Ronda Cotroneo is the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Divorce is a difficult and stressful process and having a bad lawyer can make the process all the worse. I would know as I had a lawyer prior to Ronda who did nothing but sabotage my strong case. After a series of bad dec...isions made by him, I knew I had to switch. I proceeded to sit with more than a handful of lawyers. Then I sat with Ronda. Ronda was miles ahead of them all! She was compassionate and competent and knew exactly what I was dealing with. She filled me with confidence about my case and made me feel like she was going to take care of me; that she wouldn’t let my ex wrong me anymore. After the first time leaving her office, I felt so much better about my toxic divorce. That feeling never subsided. On the contrary, every time I spoke with Ronda, she made me feel stronger and more confident. Ronda proceeded to undo all the terrible decisions made by my previous lawyer and built the foundations of a strong case. Ronda fought to win. Long story short, Ronda didn’t let my grubby ex evade alimony or child support as he was planning to do. She succeeded in winning me custody, strong child support and a very fair amount of alimony. Ronda is a one-of-a-kind lawyer. Anyone looking for a lawyer who is bold yet competent, look no further. If there exists such a thing as the “perfect” lawyer, Ronda would be it. It’s not that I just recommend her, I literally cannot recommend her enough!

And though she be but little SHE IS FIERCE

I had gone to another attorney, but it was definitely the wrong fit. A woman I worked with told me about Ronda and from the minute I met her I knew she was more than capable of doing what needed to be done. So if you're looking for an attorney with a lot of BITE! then she is the one for you.

Going to heaven with gold wings

Ronda is a compassionate, supportive, protective, smart, sassy and professional attorney who has been there for me during the darkest time of my life. I showed up in her office carting my 3 kids, piles of paperwork and gallons of tears. After a week of trying to figure my life out on my own I was ove...rwhelmed. From the minute I met Ronda she put me at ease. She said hi to my girls before even meeting with me, upon sitting with me she listened patiently while I told her how my life had bern shattered and she very calmly, firmly and encouragingly told me she was going to help me put the pieces of my life back together. And she did...always took calls, answered EVERY email promptly (and I flooded the poor woman daily with emails), was there for me in court and dealt with every aggravating part of my situation. She was 100 in my corner at all times. I asked her why she chose to deal with this for a living and she told me "because I like helping people get through a difficult tume in their lives" and she did just that for me...so I told her she was going to heaven with gold wings for dealing with me and my problems. I will turn to Ronda again if needed without hesitation...you will not find a better lawyer...I cant thank her enough .

Wonderful

In 2013, I went to see a few lawyers regarding my divorce, Ronda was the last one on the list and the minute I met her I knew she was the one. She is very easy to talk to, very understanding, honest and is a fighter. She is very easy to get in touch with, answers call backs, respond to emails very ...quickly. This year I had a situation with my ex, he didn't want to sign off on the kids passports so I reached out to Ronda and with her support I put in all the paperwork and won my case. I appreciate all that she has done and continues to do!

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.
