Best Lawyer ever

The Law offices of Ron Sholes is the best law firm there is. Jordan Beard was my lawyer he made me and my wife fell like we were actually family and he fought tooth and nail for us and got us back more than we could imagine if I could I would rate them a million stars

Posted by Kris | September 05, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Excellent council! QUICK/INFORMATIVE/PROFESSIONAL

I have used this firm twice now and the first case completely won me over. Every one knows me on a first name basis. Constantly communicating with their clients thru the process. I have used other firms and despite their empty promises they didn’t compare to the professionalism and honesty that I hav...e received with this firm. A particular shout out to Jordan Beard who will go the extra mile at any cost for his clients. Reassuring me that I’ve chosen the right group of attorneys to reapers sent me to their very best capabilities! HIGHLY RECOMMEND RONALD SCHOOLS LAW FIRM TO ANY ONE TRYING TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION OF WHO TO HAVE REPRESENT YOU! -Kris M.

Excellent Attorneys!

Attorneys Ron Sholes and Blair Butler at Ron Sholes P.A. fought to get a terrific auto accident recovery for me of $125,000. I am thrilled. I believe other firms may have settled for less, but I witnessed how Ron and Blair fight tooth and nail every step of the way for their clients in Jacksonville t...o get the maximum recovery for auto accidents. Ron and Blair stayed on top of my auto accident case and communicated with me every step of the way. Both Ron and Blair even gave me their cell phone numbers right up front--Wow! Everyone worked to provide an excellent experience and a great recovery. I will definitely recommend Ron Sholes P.A. to my family, friends, and coworkers for auto accidents and any other legal areas that the firm practices. I would give them 10 Gold Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if I could. I guess I just did.

Customer

I was in a car accident in 2017. I was sitting at a red light and a semi truck ran into the back of me. The situation was very scary from the start. The company had their own representative come up to the scene of the accident and it was very intimidating. I reached out to a local, well-known lawyer ...in Jacksonville. The firm seem to be a bit to busy for me and anytime I called with questions on my case. They seemed a bit frustrated or even if I called to make sure I was doing things properly when it came to my case they never wanted to help. I shared my experience at this point with a close friend and she recommended that I reach out to Ron Sholes. That had to be the biggest game changer in my case! My case was with a semi truck and company, I needed a firm that would handle my case with care and detail. Ron Sholes office that’s exactly what I got. Everyone was so helpful when it came to my case I could call as much as I wanted with any type of question I had, and there was no hesitation to help. After being in an accident it is very hard to deal with everything that comes with that. The offices of Ron Sholes definitely took that burden away from me and my family. After my accident, I experienced lots of pain, so that was a big blessing in itself just to have some of that weight lifted off and know that my case was in good hands. Something that was really funny about my old firm when I decided to switch the head lawyers blew my phone up for me to come back. That was my first time ever speaking to them even though I have been with their firm for almost a year with Ron Sholes you get his cell phone number the day that you join his firm. So if someone in the office can’t help you or do you have any type of problem you always know that he’s your lawyer and he has your back and you have a way to reach him no matter what. I really appreciate everything that Ron Sholes and his team did for me and my family during this difficult time of our lives. Car accidents suck but I wouldn’t call anyone other than Ron.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Wished I would've checked reviews first. Over 5+ years on my case of guy running red light, t-boning us on my side. Had to beat the case in court in order for them to represent us. After that 5+ yes, and got the suit closed lik after mid Jan, and was told check would be end of this week, last week...... Well .. now next Friday... Making 3 weeks outta what they said a couple days... And not to mind you that I'm not even getting enough back to replace my truck that was totaled from the impact, let alone my limbs still going numb, and dropping stuff all the time. Don't waste your time...
