Ronald Roman Petroff

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 represented me throughout my divorce and then defended me again through a lengthy motion to move my children to another school district. Ron not only represented me well, he made my small case seem just as important as if it were a mutimillion dollar case. His knowledge of the law, his timely a...dvice, and his quick decision making took a motion to have my children moved to a different school district become a reduction in my child support, my children remaining in their home school, and allowing my children to remain overnight with me on my days. My new wife and I continue to retain Ron's representation. I highly recommend Ron and his staff.

I was referred to Mr. Petroff for a pending divorce through my work. I will be working with them to get him removed from their referral list. At my first meeting, he made claims that I would not owe any child support since me and my wife's incomes were so similar. He failed to tell me I would be s...olely responsible for non-insurance covered medical, extra-curricular activities and college payments. So basically hundreds of dollars a month (or the equivalent of child support). I also asked him if we could cap the non-insurance covered medical payments to protect me in case one of my children had a serious medical issue so I was not the only one paying out of pocket. He replied, "good idea". Are you kidding me? Is that not the first thought that a lawyer should have in this circumstance. Is it the client's responsibility to suggest this??!! He kept going back and forth on what I would owe out of my Scottade account, checking and savings. I didn't know until after the settlement what I still owe. He had the wrong day in the shared parenting plan and then needed to re-negotiate to get agreement on the previously agreed upon days. One of the agreements had "forging" instead of "forgoing" that I also had to point out. I didn't feel he fought hard for my best interests and was definitley not satisfied with the outcome. At the hearing he told the other lawyer he would be working with her to get the remiaining family pictures for me but he never followed up on that even after I emailed him asking the status. Definitely sub par work for expensive price. The list of issues goes on and on. I would definitely look for another divorce attorney outside of him or his firm.
