Professional negligence

I've always heard amazing things about this lawyer until I hired him he's had my case for 3 years he has not even submitted evidence to the DA he is not called any witnesses on my behalf 3 years into my court case he's thrown off my case for conflict of interest because he chose to take a case with t...he relatives of the person that I am in the midst of a case with he thought this was comical shrugged it off as it was nothing 3 years of my life wasted for absolutely no reason other than he didn't want to do anything what was once told to me as a cut and dry case that would get thrown out his now destroyed my entire life having my child taken from me ruining my name and all around bringing my entire livelihood down from nothing more than professional negligence he neglected to do absolutely anything that he should have done for my case and for that I hope anybody never hires this man if your life depends on it let him handle your traffic tickets

Replied last September 08, 2022

This Reviewer (Laci is not their name)was indicted with four counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree. About two weeks before the trial date our office was retained on a commercial real estate matter. Shortly after speaking with the real estate clients, I discovered that they were witnesses for the prosecution. I immediately disclosed this to both my clients and to the District Attorney. Both clients waived any conflict, but the District Attorney objected to my remaining on criminal case. I offered to get out of the real estate case and to continue with the criminal case, however the presiding judge removed me from the criminal matter, despite my objections. In the course of our representation, we secured a very favorable settlement offer, and upon our removal from the case we forgave the Reviewer's substantial outstanding legal balance.

DWI

Got the phone call from my son " Dad I was arrested for DWI ". I spent 3 days in a panic to find a lawyer to handle my sons case. Google / Yelp etc .. let me save you the time of looking for a lawyer. We left court yesterday relieved and no longer stressed. Mr Walsh saved my sons future. Extre...mely fair price and great knowledge of the Cortland court system. Thank you Mr Walsh

Great Lawyer

Ron Walsh is an amazing lawyer. He is everything a lawyer should be; honest, knowledgeable, and generous. I've used him for several different things, one being business and his political mind and professionalism has been an outstanding attribute.

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.
