Best Lawyer on here

Mr Bell is the best lawyer on here hands down. I had two of the other lawyers on here and I fired each of them. Then I went to Mr Bell. He answers your calls and emails very quickly, even on the weekends. He knows how to win. I only wish I went to Mr Bell first. Don’t waste your time or money with ...these other lawyers,

Child Support Complications

I had some complications with my ex- husband and child support. After dealing with another attorney, I was reluctant to hire one again. Mr Bell and Doreen were great and put me at ease during a very difficult time. Mr Bell is knowledgeable and fair, I was only charged for work done. My only regret w...as I didn't find them sooner.

Hiring Ron and his team was a GREAT decision!!

I can't say enough great things about the service that I received at Ronald Bell and Associates. From the beginning to the end, everyone was very warm and showed me great compassion. There were many days that I just wanted to give up and walk away with nothing. However, Ronald and his staff continuou...sly stayed strong for me and reassured me that I would get through my divorce and they would be with me every step of the way. They fought for me when I couldn't fight for myself and I will be forever grateful. I've heard horror stories from people how attorneys will bring out the worst in you, during a divorce. However, this wasn't the case at all in my situation. Ronald was very professional and was able to handle my case through peaceful negotiations. I only had to go to court once and that was the day my divorce was finalized. Ronald was able to keep the costs low and get me everything that I asked for and more. I highly recommend Ronald Bell! He's the BEST!!

There are lawyers and there are lawyers that become your friend, family, advocate and triumphant

Loud and mean and combative does not equate to a better lawyer, outcome or to Ron bells style. Ron bell is about settling your case for and with the benefits of the children first, you second as I feel it should be. Understand, though Ron is far from a push over, I would not want to be on the... opposing side that played unfair or dirty against him. My case is unique for my custody case dealt with a special needs child that has a profound cognitive deficit along with medical issues. However, I felt as well as Ron that the preponderance of evidence was in my favor to be awarded the vast majority of visitation, even sole custody, Ron looked at the bigger long-term picture and tried hard to facilitate a fair, and equitable settlement for all that would best suit my special child. Even with a loud, egotistical and arrogant IMHO opposing attorney, Ron handled himself professionally, though threw and connected his punches when appropriate and stifled me when I went off on the opposing attorney (he, the opposing attorney deserved it). Most important to you regarding this review is I walked away with the vast majority of time with my child, eliminated all the financial issues and can meet with my gods knowing it was handled properly. Ron never lost any of the battles and won the case hands down. The next most important consideration, fees! Ron’s bill for handling the last 5 months of this 9-month case was less than two other lawyers with room to spare. Ron only bills for time worked on the case and Ron took my calls 24x7, and I mean this. He or his office would return my calls and texts in minutes or hours and even sooner, when I said it was an emergency I know most other lawyers would have billed me 50,000 or more while my total bill was a fraction of this amount. Ron attended four way meetings, status calls, hearings, time with witnesses and numerous face-to-face meetings with me as well as several calls. Bottom line I still receive texts and calls from Ron and his office just asking how things are going. I know they sincerely care. Therefore, in my opinion after an ugly contested divorce 10 years back, other custody battles, and this final contested custody battle I am glad I found Ron Bell, I, and my special needs child sincerely recommend Ron bell to represent you and your family for all matters of law.

A Complex Divorce (26 year marriage)

I never write these but this will come easy for me. Ron is by far the wisest and brightest attorney I've ever had the good fortune to have found. My divorce was full of complex issues from the start over a year and half ago. From major property division, business,401k's, college for children ,craz...y allegations ,and support the list went on. Ron took the bull by the horns and orchestrated my case like a master conductor. orchestra. He is a very knowledgable individual with a sense of brilliant creative ideas. He had my ex husbands attorneys eating out of his hands. I have to say his caliber of Attorney is a rare find in the suburbs and would highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for a first class lawyer you won't be left holding the bag with an advocate like him on your side. I have no regrets you were worth Every single dollar spent! Now on with my life!
