This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Always responsive. Always committed to client.

I have worked with Ron Austin in various capacities now for nearly 20 years. I was a client at a large pharmaceutical manufacturing corporation; He was a client of mine, when I moved to Marketing Management as an Account Executive; and most recently I hired him to represent me in a personal matter th...at actually ended favorably for both sides. I appreciate his personal touch, sincere honesty when I needed to hear it, and more importantly, his natural diplomacy.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
