Ron Saupe - Landlord/Tennant Matter

Ron was very knowledgeable and familiar with local laws regarding our landlord/tennant matter. He took our case with little notice and appeared in court on our behalf very well prepared. He followed our direction well while guiding us within the local guidelines. I would certainly use Ron again ...and highly recommend him.

Extremely Happy with Attorney Saupe

Attorney Saupe was extremely effective with our case. He made the entire family feel at ease during our trying times. He reviewed all of the possible outcomes with us and we got the best outcome possible. He knew the situations that would arise and the people involved. We highly recommend Attorne...y Saupe.

Client review of Ronald F. Saupe

Helped in two low-level misdemeanor violations. Had both dropped and expunged in exchange for community service and one counseling session.

Replied last June 29, 2012

I regret that a client felt that I was only "fair" in keeping them informed. I make an effort to comunicate developments to clients on a timely basis.

Great Lawyer, State College

Ronald Saupe helped me when I got charged with public drunkenness and an underage. He was very informative and great to talk to. He knows a lot about the area and has a lot of great ideas for PSU. Mr. Saupe is a great guy and is very trustworthy and easy to talk to. He gives great advice for youn...g students who want to stay out of trouble. He always responded very quickly and represented me excellent in court. I would recommend him to anyone, specifically students who need representation.

Excellent, couldn't be in better hands

Three criminal charges were filed against my 20 yr old son, PSU student. Ron was the perfect person to help us through this and offer clear solid caring advice. He believed in my son and treated him with respect. He got all three charges dropped with nothing on my son's record. It was harrowing, a...nd we owe Ron our long term gratitude.
