Excellent representation!
Ronald Frey was my attorney representing me in a very frustrating traffic violation. He was very professional in how he handled the situation to include his knowledge and patience in explaining the court process and procedures. He was able to get the case dismissed.

Nothing short of outstanding!
Mr. Frey did an amazing job! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. At one of the lowest points in my life, Ron was there for me. He did such a terrific job. I don't know where I'd be today if it wasn't for his outstanding work. He was very knowledgeable in his defense of my situation. He m...

Case Dismissed
Mr. Frey promptly started work on my case after my initial contact on the phone (August 2009). He was thoroughly prepared and professional throughout my entire case at Rocky River Municipal Court. Mr. Frey was successfully able to get my misdemeanor charge of animal abuse dismissed.

High regard for Attorney Ron Frey
I hired Ron to represent my son who was charged with a serious federal crime. Due to the nature and seriousness of the charge, I needed absolute confidence in my son's attorney. Not only did Ron inspire confidence, he displayed trustworthiness as his actions reflected each and every promise that he...
"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."
