Ronnie Gouz Is Extraordinary

I retained Ronnie when I was divorcing my ex-husband. I cannot say too many good things about her! She is intelligent, resourceful and gets the job done! One of the things that makes her stand out is her ability to listen to her client's concerns.

Review of Ronnie Gouz

Ronnie Gouz handled my divorce case to its completion two years ago. She was my trusted adviser during that time and I was impressed with both her expert knowledge of New York divorce law and her ability to explain the complexities in ways I could understand as a non-lawyer. She worked doggedly on m...y behalf throughout the settlement process and especially when some very difficult issues emerged that required, unequivocally, the court's intervention. Ronnie has that terrific combo of being candid, thoughtful, and kind with her clients along with the logic, directness and tenaciousness necessary to be an effective divorce lawyer. She really cared what happened to me. I have recommended her to others and would continue to do so.

Run the other way

Ronnie Gouz was my attorney for one year. In that time she billed over 40 thousand dollars for my divorce. She advised me to take two specific actions that resulted in significant damage to my case. After those terrible bits of advice, she brought in another attorney and her husband to help advise.... She then billed me for their hours. The sum of my experience with this attorney is that she is a lovely person, kind and responsive, yet completely incompetent. The opposing attorney called every shot and Ronnie did nothing to effect any change in that scenario. Now that we've parted ways, I still have no custody agreement, no financial support, my earning spouse is still not paying my legal fees, and I've had to hire another attorney to help clean up the mess.

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.
