About Ronna

I have been practicing law for 41 years. I have been an Attorney for the Child since 2001 and was also an Attorney for the Child as a Law Guardian in the 1980s. I have handled many appeals and have argued cases in the Appellate Division, the Appellate Term, and the New York State Court of Appeals. I am admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. I excel at brief writing, research and oral argument. I used to represent all types of litigants when I was in private practice. I will represent clients in appeals, and I will do a brief or memo of law for clients. I love representing children and am a strong advocate for their best interests. I also represent adults on appeal.

 

As indicated, I will write briefs (trial and appellate) and memoranda of law for clients or others if needed. Please contact me if interested.

      I've known Ronna for several years in her capacity as an attorney for children who practices primarily at the appellate level. I serve as an attorney for children mainly in the Family Court; I also represent my clients when their cases go up on appeal. Ronna has generously shared her time and knowledge with me when I have sought her advice about appellate practice, and I have always appreciated her insights and assistance. I endorse her as a wonderful colleague and a fun person to know.

      Lawyer Howard Alan Kave

      Howard Kave, Appeals Attorney on Sep 6, 2018
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. I have been a trial lawyer for over 45 years but do not generally handle appeals. Ronna has written the appeals on two matters, both as respondent and appellant, that originated in the Family Court in which I was trial counsel, and been successful in each instance. Her knowledge of the substantive law is impressive, her research solid and her written advocacy, persuasive. Her knowledge of, and insight into the trial record after she reviewed it was comforting. Having not spoken to her much about the case beforehand, I was surprised with the depth of her understanding of the issues on appeal. I am happy to endorse her to my colleagues.

      Lawyer Christopher T. Brown

      Christopher Brown, Family Attorney on Jun 15, 2016

      I endorse this lawyer. Ronna is very thorough in her research and knowledge. She knows the system and fights to be the best. This is clear.
