My Story
My case was unique, and difficult. It was from 36 years ago, when I was 22 years of age. I had just moved to Cleveland, Ohio and I unfortunately found myself in the wrong place, at the wrong time. I had never been in trouble before (nor since.) Countless mistakes were made, that led to my conviction ...

Excellent!!
Attorney Ron Frey is great, very informative and he certainly knows his stuff. I called to ask for advice and he made me realize that I needed a lawyer for sure.

Fantastic experience with Ron
I can't imagine a better experience working with Ron. He is informed, persistent, and incredibly responsive. I required his assistance in getting two convictions expunged. The court system was a challenge to work with, but Ron was able to carefully navigate the system on my behalf. In the end, hi...

Knowlegdeable and Professional Service
Ron was reliably reachable and knowledgeable about the intricacies of the legal ramifications in my case. This was a criminal defense case for possession of child pornography, but Ron never displayed any judgment toward me. He treated me with respect at all times. He had detailed knowledge of an a...

Lower my "Failure to Contol" citation to a lesser citation and avoided points on my license.
I was unfairly cited for a Traffic ticket called "Failure to Control" that involved a single car accident during a very snowy weather. Ron helped in lowering the traffic ticket to a lesser ticket that resulted in me not getting any points on my licenses. Getting points on my license would have in...
"I have personally known Attorney Frey for over a decade. I have witnessed firsthand his diligent work ethic, dedication to his clients needs, fierce advocacy, and knowledge of the law and courtroom. Attorney Frey provides an unparalleled level of excellence representing his client's interests. I highly recommend Attorney Frey."
"I strongly recommend Ron Frey. I have worked closely with Ron since 2006 and have witnessed first hand his knowledge, expertise, and the dedication he has to his clients. Ron is a great fit for anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer."
"Ron is a great friend and fellow lawyer and is well-respected in the legal community for his work as a criminal defense attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."
