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!...

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.

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!

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.
