Great Communication
Attorney Ronald Kaniuk assisted me with several real estate transactions. He is honest, bright and diligent. While most attorneys are not the best at returning calls, Mr. Kaniuk goes the extra mile in returning calls and explaining everything. He is a terrific attorney.

Fantastic Results!
Ron is a "lawyer's lawyer." He is responsive, intelligent and knows the law. His advice is spot on, and he delivered superlative results in a conflict I had against my HOA. There is no other lawyer I would prefer to have on my side, and I give him my highest recommendation.

Attorney for our business
We needed an attorney for our car dealership and hired Ron Kaniuk. He has helped from the beginning including the purchase contract for the business and made sure there weren't any loopholes in it. He has been a great asset to us and I would definitely recommend him to anyone with a business or just starting one.

Awesome Attorney!
Ron Kaniuk changed the course of our lives and helped us fight for our home. He was helpful, understanding and very attentive to our case. If it were not for him and his expertise in this area of law, I am sure we would have lost our family home. I highly recommend Ron as a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who will protect his clients and give them the best possible outcome in their case, whatever it may be.
