About Ronald
Biography
Meet Ron McCallum - A trial lawyer with a passion for justice
- Born in Dallas, Texas, and educated at the prestigious Missouri Military Academy, Ron McCallum earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Oklahoma and his Juris Doctor degree from the esteemed South Texas College of Law, which invited him to become a member of its International Law Journal.
- Ron has successfully tried numerous catastrophic injury cases and is among a select few lawyers in the country to be Board Certified in Trucking & Commercial Motor Vehicle trial law and honored by The National Trial Lawyers Association as one of the country’s top ten attorneys in both Trucking & Commercial Motor Vehicle Law and Aviation Law.
- Ron’s highly sharpened skills, integrity and exceptional courtroom successes have earned him the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent rating — signifying that his peers rank him at the highest level of professional excellence for his legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
- Ron has also been consistently recognized as a “Super Lawyer,” a distinction awarded to only the top 2.5 percent of lawyers in Texas. Ron is a distinguished member of multiple prestigious legal associations, including the American, Texas, and Dallas Bar Associations, the American Association of Justice, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association — for which he plays an integral role as a Board Member — and the America Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), whose members are attorneys who display skill, civility and integrity, help younger attorneys achieve a higher level of trial advocacy, and educate the public about the vital importance of our constitutional right to trial by jury.
- Dedicated to more than just his work, Ron is also passionate about making a positive impact on the community. When he is not in the office, he devotes his time to giving flight instruction to aspiring young pilots and promoting aviation safety. He is actively involved with Dallas’ St. John’s Episcopal School and the Lakewood YMCA, generously volunteers for various local charities such as Bryan’s House, Texas SPCA, Operation Kindness and Feral Friends, and serves as Council Chief for the Dallas YMCA Adventure Guides program. Ron McCallum understands the immense impact that serious and life-altering injuries can have on your life and is dedicated to seeking justice on your behalf.
