Professional and Hardworking. Will Fight For You

Mr. Saupe was able to provide me with ARD when it had already been denied to me. He talked and argued with the DA's for over 2 hours during my pre trial hearing just to drop misdemeanors from my plea deal. The next time we talked he told me I had gotten ARD. The chances of this, considering the serio...us nature of the charges (one being a first degree misdemeanor), was very low. Yet he pushed them over the brink. For that, I thank him.

Excellent and Caring Attourney

Sir Ronald Saupe not only explained the worst case circumstances that could have occurred as well as the best case scenarios. Mr. Saupe did his absolute best to represent me and successfully accomplish our goal of ARD. I have nothing but great things to say about this attorney and would recommend him... to absolutely anyone.

Quick to talk money, but that's all.

I was hoping to find someone who could help.me get through this issue with a such understanding and assistance with judgment as possible I have no defense, but I am.will tp make things right immediately Mr saupe seemed as though he was more concerned with money. That may have just been my .percepti...on, but I wanted to sit in front of him to go though all.of my best options at this point moving forward.

Although there is not enough information provided for me to adequately comment on this review, it is important to note the following: This person did not engage me as an attorney and their review is thus limited to their experience in our consultation. The consultation was free. If money was my only concern would I do this for every prospective new Client? My fees are lower than average for our area. I regret that this person felt unsatisfied with the consultation and I endeavor to treat each client's individual needs as the most important thing in every consultation that I handle.

Excellent Service & Representation

I can not say enough positive things about Attorney Saupe. From the first time I reached out to him until the conclusion of my son's hearing, he handled the case with professionalism and dedication. My emails and phone calls were returned in a very timely manner. Attorney Saupe cared about my son's c...ase and did an excellent job achieving what we had asked for, and then some. I will definitely reach out to Attorney Saupe for any future needs that night arise, as well as I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation in his area.

Excellent Representation and Outcome

Ron did a great job in crafting an acceptable solution to a difficult case. We very much appreciated his attentiveness and candid feedback regarding my student's situation. We had a much better outcome with his assistance. We would recommend Ron without hestitation.
