Outstanding Attorney!

Ronda was extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects as she became my legal advocate. More than this, she truly cared about me as a person. I could not have asked for a better attorney during a time when I really needed her help. She is especially skilled in the areas of family and pr...obate law, and truly cares about families, especially children. She has an outstanding reputation among fellow attorneys, and has just recently been a judge in Pulaski County, where she oversaw the probate and family law division. She is a strong legal advocate for her clients, and fights for their rights and protection.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
