Ron Roach - Integrity, Service, Professionalism

Ron Roach was instrumental in resolving a landlord - tenant matter for my firm. His knowledge of the law, his thoughtfulness at strategy and flexibility in finding solutions to the situation resulted in a very favorable outcome. Having an attorney that listens and understands along with an attorney... who is willing to present a clear view of the law and application is critical for businesses and individuals that need professional representation. I highly recommend Ron for your legal needs.

Mrs. Carol Sanders

Mr. Roach was extremely helpful with a recent employee/employer situation we encountered. He worked as liaison with the state and complaining employee and was able to bring the matter to a speedy end with all parties involved being satisfied with the outcome. We are completely satisfied with his know...ledge of the law and timely response to each step of the process. As small business owners we would consider using his services again any time we are in need of legal assistance.

Great lawyer, great person

My company and I have worked with Ron for five years. He is fantastic. He's reviewed and drafted contracts, performed many compliance-related functions, and litigated on our behalf (with success). I've also used him frequently for general problem-solving and for dispute resolution, in order to avoi...d litigation. Ron is smart, professional, ethical, *incredibly* efficient, and has a great personality. I can't recommend him highly enough.

CEO

Ronald was instrumental in getting a dismissal on our case. His attention to detail, and more specifically, his case study on similar cases, really help to dismiss this case. Great Attorney!

When it Matters - Call Ron

Ron has assisted myself, my family and my business with several matters. I’ve referred countless people and businesses to him because of his professionalism, diligence and overall ability to perform when it counted most. I wish I could express with words how much he helped me when times were tough an...d how invaluable his representation and guidance was. You couldn’t image some of the issues I put on his plate that he seamlessly navigated and addressed for me. I write this review in hopes that you too use his firm and have the same experiences I have.

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.
