My experience with the Law Office of Ronald Justin

I should have guess based on the attempt to contact the Law Office of Ronald Justin would have been the indicator of the experience that was to unfold. Once contact was finally established, and prior to hiring Ronald, he reviewed my family law case to evaluate if he had the capacity. He accepted the ...case, stating his plan and what could be done. All documentation was provided to him, evidence, timelines, organized and complete. That was a year ago, and there has been little no no movement on his part. I should not have to send certified mail to get an update, or a return phone call after weeks of reaching out and being met with silence, or complete disregard for my inquiries. Furthermore, as other reviews have advised, he used the excuse of a paralegal he was considering terminating because they were the cause of the ball being dropped on numerous occasions. His failure to be diligent and communicative allowed mistakes to occur in the court room, and allowing orders to go through against my wishes, because "he didn't see the email", and again blamed another party for that error. After three weeks of sending emails for updates on my case, and items he claimed more than once would be filed "soon", unreturned phone calls, and a court date he not only did not show up to, but did not communicate he would not be present for, and had another associate who I had never met, nor had any insight on my case, fill in. I issued a deadline for his response, to where I received an after hours phone call informing me he would be withdrawing from the case after, three weeks of silence. The withdraw is not the issue, as that was the plan with the expectation that his false promises of delivery wouldn't be met, further neglecting my case. It's the lack of professionalism and the lack of accountability for his consistent failure to provide legal counsel. This will result in filing a complaint with the bar, and an investigation to ensue. I would not recommend this office for anything that requires court appearances, time and accurate communication, or if the lives of your children and yourself are dependent on his performance.

Did Not Work Out

Proceed with caution here. This attorney was an absolute joke on my case. All my paperwork was incorrect, he was hard to reach, unresponsive and also charged for random things. For example, I was billed multiple times for emails I sent him requesting for his office to correct motions that contained i...ncorrect information. He blamed it on his paralegal. I hired him and did not receive a bill for 6 months even after multiple requests, only to receive a bill that was totally wrong. He missed one of my court dates and did not notify me until afterwards. I sent him a termination letter, he finally files Motion to Withdraw, and even THEN the paperwork he filed as of 11/23/2020 has incorrect names and misspellings. Very disorganized, super unprofessional. Just proceed with caution.

Very Disappointed :(

I hired Mr. Justin to represent me in a DUI case a few months ago. To say the least, I'd been better off with a public defender. At least poor representation would've been free. Communication was extremely poor. He missed court dates. And it seems after his fee was paid his eagerness to represent me ...in the most effective way ceased. All I can say is that my experience with Mr. Justin was one that I hope never happens again. :(

Anony: The case you hired me for had not even been completed yet. The fact that you lied to me on your intake interview about your criminal past and I was required to subpoena your criminal past from another state only slowed down the process. I answered and returned every phone call, as it is my policy to return every call by the end of the day. Additionally, my fee was never paid in full todate. I did exactly what you asked of me, that was to work on negotiating with the states attorney to get a favorable outcome and not fight the case (did not want a trial) unfortunately, with an arrest record like you have, it is something that takes time to obtain the information you failed to disclose to me thus complicating your case and requiring more time. They say "don't lie to your attorney" for a reason.

Great DUI Attorney

I had a DUI and was very concerned with the possibility of being found guilty and the stigma that is associated with a DUI, not to mention loosing my license. I hired Ronald Justin because my friend said he was good. I was extremely happy, we won the case. Ronald was always on time and available ...to talk to.
