Best decision I ever made

Words can't express how thankful and grateful for the lengths Mr Ross went to help my family and I get successfully past a huge legal situation that I put us in. I owe my bright future completely to Mr. Ross, and I couldn't recommend anyone any higher.

Understanding and tenacious - the best combination for a lawyer!

Mr Ross and his administrative assistant, Ms Gomez, are an incredible legal team. When our college son ended up in an unfortunate situation requiring legal help, I was so fortunate to call Ross Law Offices first. Hearing the worry in my voice as I explained our son's circumstances, the first thing ...Ms Gomez told me was that Mr Ross was a good person; a good lawyer. In that moment, I felt I could trust them with our son's future; after our first meeting with Mr Ross, I *knew* I could! Tony Ross truly cares about people and is empathetic to individual needs. He handled our son's case completely. (I kept worrying a little about *not* doing anything to help!) As Mr Ross had initially quite carefully explained he believed could be the best possible scenario, our son's case was dismissed, clearing college and life records for our really grateful son, my husband and me. Thanks so very much to this tenacious, caring lawyer and his supportive administrative assistant for their time and care, which we will pass forward!

Professionalism and Exceptionalism

Tony (John) Ross was extremely committed and professional with how he dedicated himself to my case. My charge was aggravated felony assault with bodily injury. When you’re looking at 2 to 20 years in prison you can’t make a mistake choosing legal counsel. I spent 36 days in jail and went through 3... different lawyer before getting out of jail. Bad advice from legal counsel put me in jail and had my bond set at $200,000 and I was considered a flight risk. I’m an educated man who has traveled across the US, Central America and done time in the military but I’ve never seen anything that compares to some of what happened to me at the hands of poor legal counsel. Once I was out of jail I looked for and interviewed multiple lawyers, trying to find the one that was truly a good fit for me and was going to fight for me. Tony sat with me listening intently as I told him the situation I was in and how everything had transpired. When I was done Tony went through my story, asking question and piecing everything together from a legal stand point. Tony told me he would represent me but he wanted me to be comfortable with him and how he approaches things. Tony didn’t tell me “Hey I can get you off” and “You’re going to beat this”. He told me I had a serious charge and it was an uphill battle but, from what I had said, it sounded like a self-defense situation. Tony doesn’t promise you the world, take your money then leave you hanging. He supports you and puts your mind at ease as you go through the process. The best offer I had after 2 years was 8 years in prison. After 2 years of going through the process losing my job, when I was in jail, then getting a better job with another company, the trial finally came. After watching Tony in the court room and how he conducts himself, I knew I had chosen the right “Lawyer”. Tony is calm, under control, intelligent, processes information quickly, pays attention to details and asks follow up questions when he knows the truth is not being told. If you’re looking for courtroom theatrics, Tony’s not the person for you. Regardless of the prosecutor’s demeanor and emotions Tony remains clam and professional. After a 3 day trial it all ended with a hopelessly hung jury at 7 to 5. After interviewing the jury it was found that the jury did not think the “victim” and his witness were believable. The jury attributed this to the questioning and how Tony had took apart their stories. These were not 2 guys with criminal records either. Bear in mind I never denied sticking this individual nor defending myself with zero witnesses to corroborate my story. In the end the prosecution offered 8 years differed probation, community service. In 250 cases seen by this judge he had never had a jury deliberate for 10 hours and come back hopelessly hung in a case like this. I attribute all of the positive thing that happened in my case over 2 years, to “My Lawyer” Tony Ross. 1. My ability to walk away with an admission of non-guilt. No contest 2. My 8 year differed probation. community service with no felony and absolutely nothing on my records I walked away with my head held high and my reputation intact which was more important to me than anything else. The day Tony told me to interview other lawyers and make sure I was comfortable with him was the day I knew Tony was the lawyer for me. Yes Tony Ross is a lawyer, and he’s exceptional at it.
