Ronald Roman Petroff

I would happily like to recommend the services of Petroff Law Offices, LLC. in which I used Ron Petroff for my recent divorce of my 31-year marriage. As a senior citizen, I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, advice and cost. Ron and his team gave me the utmost in respecting my privacy, p...rotecting my interests and supplying solid helpful legal advice. From the start, Andrea Caldwell was welcoming and kind as she accurately explained what was needed from me in terms of a retainer and the initial meeting with Ron Petroff. Then Ron met with me so he could fully understand the dynamics of my situation. Ron advised me of my spousal rights, he gave me solid legal advise as to what to expect, what to do until the divorce was finalized and how to plan for my future. Ron Petroff negotiated on my behalf with the court for a more equitable settlement which will help me throughout the rest of my life and I am forever grateful to him for his tenacity and thoughtfulness. Amanda Ly was also a joy to work with as she took her time and was patient with me explaining legal documents and procedures. Amanda always had a sense of urgency and she fully advised Ron of any of my concerns and then Ron and I would quickly jump on a phone call to resolve any issue. I felt completely comfortable, well informed and excellently served by Ron Petroff and the Ron Petroff Law Offices personnel in every way and each team member helped to make this difficult time in my life less stressful. I recommend Ron Petroff Law Offices, LLC.

I don't even know where to begin... I suppose I will start at the beginning, and in doing so, will also do my best to be as succinct as possible. I will say that when I decided to finally move forward with a divorce - which is something I delayed as long as I could - I was beyond lost. No one knows h...ow to "do divorce." Furthermore, it's one of those things where you have to learn as you go -- and it starts with finding someone with the integrity and acumen that can help you navigate what is by far one of the most emotionally-impactful, life-altering (perhaps shattering at moments) transitions you may ever experience. That said, there are things you should know. Hire a family attorney. You should seek out someone who understands the complex nuances of family law -- which, incidentally, to this mom of three young children navigating this process, were completely foreign... There is no instruction guide for this - you just figure it out -- or you are fortunate enough to find someone with the integrity and industry-knowledge who will be the catalyst in that learning curve -- and bring you up to speed in the most efficacious (and hopefully cost-effective) manner. Because that is the other thing that one isn't prepared for going into this... the price tag attached. Sure, you hear jokes about the cost of divorce - movies immortalizing the truism of the expense of divorce (Think Billy Crystal in "When Harry Met Sally" - karaoke scene.), but nothing really prepares you for what it means to really squeeze blood from a stone. Platitudes aside, again, you hope that when you are at your most vulnerable, you can defer to someone who will help you make sense of something that really doesn't make much sense at all. Ron Petroff IS that person, but I had to experience the consequences of a wrong choice, before I finally found his firm. I reached out to friends and colleagues for referrals, when I finally decided to file for divorce. I learned quickly that I had not chosen wisely. When I had that epiphany, I changed counsel. I saw just how much my general attorney should have known -- and yet did not, given how specialized an area that family law was. That is when I scheduled a consultation with Ron. Ron was direct. Ron was professional. Ron was the response to the list of things I outlined above... and then some. I remember sitting in his office during that initial consultation, thinking to myself that I absolutely could not believe that I had not found him three months earlier. Yet no one knows how to "do divorce." Who should? No one goes into a marriage thinking that divorce is an option. (At least, I hope people don't.) Instead of continuing to feel like I was at the mercy of how things played out, I suddenly felt like I was on the offensive. I owe this to Ron. The truth is - to reference something I mentioned earlier, divorce really isn't like it is in the movies. Everyone loses. It is just the way it it. However, what the process becomes, it trying to minimize just how much each of you loses. And that is why I would shout from rooftops that Ron Petroff is the person you should hire to help you get through this transition. I was beyond clear about what I had wanted... and what I had hoped for... And as I said earlier, Ron was direct. He was sympathetic, yet pragmatic. He had an intensity and a spectrum of knowledge that were unrivaled (as far as I can tell)... that motivated him to consider all of the possible outcomes of each choice, and to move strategically on behalf of his client. He listened, and responded decisively. He was a tenacious advocate for his clients - and knew the landscape of his profession to the end that it fostered a powerful rapport and respect among others in his area. Having finalized my divorce in July, I am beyond grateful to Ron and everyone in his firm for making strides no one else could – and for being the advocate for me and my children that I should have hired from the very beginning.

Ron was straight forward, listened to us and described what he and his team could do to help us win. After interviewing other lawyers, I knew right then Ron was the man for the job and we would not lose. He got the ball rolling quick against my ex-wife. When he was in court, Ron was very sharp and... prepared. The other attorney had no chance..lol Ron kept our bill down by having his team assist us as well which was very mindful of him. Even when his team would call him, he would always be there and assist. I have recommended Ron to several friends and co-workers and a few are using him as we speak. They are all very pleased. Ron got rid of me paying child support to my ex-wife, he had my ex-wife give up claiming the kids as tax exemptions, now I get to claim them both and most importantly they live with me! I cherish my kids, some parents don't unfortunately.

Ron did an excellent job handling my case. He executed a quick resolution to my divorce. He explained everything in detail and provided me with the best possible outcome. It is apparent that Ron has extensive experience in handling these cases by his knowledge and tactful approach. He communicate...d effectively with the other party's attorney to achieve a swift conclusion. I highly recommend Ron and will seek his advice in the future if the need arises.
