About Ronald
Practice areas
- 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.
18 years, 50 cases
- 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.
22 years, 600 cases
- 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.
16 years, 70 cases
- 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.
