Do Not Hire this attorney your better off defending yourself

5000 dollars for him to show up and pretty much bend over for the prosecutors. He will not fight, he’s not a fighter at all and takes no interest after he’s been paid. Eyes always red and nose always dripping. Find someone else, you’ll thank yourself later. Don’t let the 5 reviews here fool you folks....

Exploitation and extortion

I spoke with Ronald Washington this evening regarding an incident with my son. The information was very enlightening and helpful. I feel that he is guided us in the right direction. This gentleman was both competent and confident. And I look forward to seeing the outcome of the situation. Thank you f...or your help Ronald it is greatly appreciated!

Just showed no interest in me or my case

I hired Ron for felony charges in a state in which I would have to travel to and from to constantly appear. Ron only cared about his payments which were made but since I am out of state it took longer to process. He showed up late to both court dates, causing me to have to travel back and reappear. O...n the last court date he withdrew after doing absolutely no work towards resolving my case besides receiving the paperwork (something I could have done myself). His attitude was very rude and unprofessional and he showed no compassion towards leaving my case after doing nothing. All I can say is check reviews ..although I was in a bind and had no time to waste finding representation so quickly chose Mr Washington who asked for a paypal payment immediately without a contract it followed weeks later when he was ready for another payment .

DUI Dismissd

I was referred to Ron by a friend who had won two DUI in which Ronald was his attorney. Ronald was polite and informative when I called him for a consultation, he also went above and beyond and drove from Phoenix to Tucson multiple times to represent me. With that he was flexible with the payment for... his services. He was available 24/7 and answered all of my texts and calls no matter what the time was. Ronald not only won the hearing to not suspend my license, but he also got my DUI case completely dismissed and saved me from being deported and saved me from losing my job.

Ronald’s comment:

“I have a conviction for Misdemeanor Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, stemming from a complaint that occurred in 2007. Per the AZ State Bar, I submitted to quarterly hair follicle examinations for 2 consecutive years, all of which returned negative readings for THC. Additionally, for 18 mos. concurrent with the two years, I also submitted to weekly drug screen urinalysis examinations, all of which returned negative results for any controlled substances.”
