Incompetent

The worst experience I’ve ever encountered, professionally. He presents an image of aggressive and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

An attorney that will fight for your rights to the very end…

The above statement describes who Ronald Nir is and what he will do for you… My name is Albert French, a current client of Mr. Ronald Nir and have been since 2007. Aside from being a client of Mr. Nir, I am also a man that whole-heartedly believes in both his abilities & capabilities as an attorn...ey who can deliver the results you want... Without a doubt Mr. Nir, is a top-notch litigator and I’m just scratching the surface when describing the skillset that Mr. Nir, possesses, traits that I’m sure you will find to be essential qualities which one seeks when hiring an attorney that will represent you to the bitter end should it come to it, an attorney that walk alongside of you into a courtroom where the odds are stacked against you? I assure you Mr. Nir, will use every tool in his arsenal aggressiveness, commitment, critical-thinking, experience, guidance, Integrity, intelligence and perseverance to shield you from harm and see you through your most difficult times... Ron Nir, is one of if not the best in every aspect of law that he chooses to practice as I can contest to him winning multiple cases for me within criminal court where he fought for my rights so vigorously that the jury not no choice but to move forward with an acquittal, saving me from a fifteen-year prison sentence... Next, I would like to share with you my family court proceedings in which I was battling for full custody of my twin children for six years... After numerous court appearances, petitions and even a change of venue from the Bronx to Nassau I thought things couldn’t get worse until my then attorney who was with me from the very beginning requested to vacate her position as my attorney because of issues with commuting to Nassau from the Bronx... At this time, I felt defeated and fearful of losing my children completely. Until one day while waiting to join a court appearance via audio conference, I heard a voice which sounded like music to my ears, I heard “Ronald Nir, attorney for Albert French” and I instantly felt like everything would be okay and it was. In just a year’s time Mr. Nir, negotiated a settlement which afforded me full custody of my son, Jordan and continuous visitation with my daughter who decided to remain in NY with her mother... I will leave you by stating to whoever takes the time to read this review. In my mind Mr. Nir, is an angel in a suit, he has worked miracles for me and he will do the same for you. The only thing you’re need to tell yourself is “I want to win” and Mr. Nir will appear...

The best attorney out there. Very good at what he does

I met ron through a freind and he has guided me up front and was always transparent. He charged a very fair price far cheaper than what anyone else would. He really goes to bat for you and is very firm. I highly recommend him if you need.
