Practice areas

Lemon lawDebt collectionConsumer protectionClass action
  1. Class action: 40%

    I have been involved in many Ohio and National Class Actions including the H&R Block nation class action that brought as 45.5 million dollar settlement.

    20 years, 50 cases

  2. Consumer protection: 30%

    I pursue uncsrupulous businesses. Mostly in the automotive area, car sales. However, I do take cases against any business that lies, cheats of steals from consumers.

    24 years, 600 cases

  3. Debt collection: 20%

    I work with people who are being sued. Sometimes for repossessions where the lender did not dispose of the vehicle properly, other times with people who are being sued by other consumer lenders such as payday lenders or debt buyers. I try and find a way to defend the law suit at no out of pocket cost to the consumer and have the debt go away and/or recover money for the consumer. Yes, it does really happen.

    18 years, 70 cases

  4. Lemon law: 10%

    I try and help people who have bought defective cars new or used. Although the Ohio lemon law only applies to new cars, I am often able to find violations of other statutes that allow for recovery for the sale of a used car by a dealer.

    24 years, 500 cases

Review Ronald Frederick

JUSTICE ACHIEVED

Posted by ChristineFri Jul 13 2012

I was kept posted only as issues transpired on my case and my input was essential in an endeavor to hopefully reach a settlement agreement , or to address issues of my concern. The agreement reached was just and equitable to all parties concerned. My attorney was knowledgeable about what I hoped to achieve legally and he strived to his utmost to negotiate a settlement on my behalf that would achieve these legal goals . I am completely satisfied with the agreement. Ron Frederick and Associates is a good law firm and they have a great paralegal, Connie Walker, who Ron calls the "boss". She really knows the law and the ins and outs of managing a law firm. Justice for me was achieved on July 10th, 2012. NO MORE LOAN!!!!! THANKS

I am proud to endorse attorney Ron Frederick. I have known Ron since nearly the beginning of his legal career. He knows class action law extremely well and understands Ohio's consumer protection laws just as good. He also fights for his clients and cares passionately about protecting them and winning their case. At the same time he understands and can explain the importance of reaching a fair and amicable resolution of a dispute wherever possible. If you are the victim of a routine practice by a merchant, and you are thinking of approaching it as a class action, then I highly recommend him to you.
