Aggressive Representation

I live out of state, but due to a contentious contract litigation case I needed a local attorney who I knew would represent me just the same as if I lived in the area. After much research I narrowed down my search to Mr. Denman and after many months I couldn't be happier with my selection. Ron spent ...considerable time understanding my case before our first call, and once we kicked things off, he never looked back. We prevailed in our case, but without his positive attitude, persistence and commitment to winning things could have bene quite different. If you want someone who is really going to look out for you, you can count on Ron Denman.

Highly Effective Legal Representation

Although I strive to be a self-sufficient person, there comes a point where hiring a professional is the smart thing to do, especially with legal matters. Well, I reached that point; I needed a lawyer. Ron Denman produced quick results. It was clear that he knew this particular aspect of the law ...fluently. He developed a sound, assertive legal strategy and communicated it to me in a way that made sense to me. As events unfolded, he adapted our strategy to suit new circumstances which increased our plan's effectiveness. In the end, the strategy had worked- I walked away achieving the ideal outcome. Another thing that was notable to me: he approached my situation as if he was representing himself. When it comes down to it, it was one of the main reasons that I hired him. I had met with plenty of lawyers, and they all had the right qualifications and plenty of experience. But, I left my initial meeting with Ron feeling that I could trust him to get the job done. That's a big deal. I was obviously looking for someone who was qualified and capable, but what I really wanted was someone who was going to stand up for me and be there every step of the way. There were an incredible amount of stressors throughout the duration of the case, and it made all the difference feeling like the situation was being taken care of. Since the resolution of my situation, I have thankfully not needed legal representation, but I can say that if I did, I would definitely work with Ron again. Thanks Ron!

An Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Denman graciously took my libel case even though it was a small case. He was very attentive and caring. He did a thorough job of analyzing the case, writing excellent legal letters and continued to move the case forward with a sense of urgency. He was successful and we obtained the resolution ...we were looking for. He is a fearless lawyer.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.

Suspension issued in FL, 2016

updated on 02/21/2017

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

J. Ronald’s comment:

“During my own contentious divorce proceeding, my former wife's counsel reported me for an obscure but technical bar rule violation. No client has ever had negative issues with my representation. In order to end the lengthy dispute and heartache, I agreed to accept a penalty for the technical violation, which I strongly disputed. This allowed me move on and continue doing what I love and do best - helping my clients with their legal problems.”
