Mr. Kossack Changed My Life

Mr. Kossack has changed my life in the best way possible. Because of Ronald I now have 50/50 custody of my 8yr old little girl. Before I hired Ronald, I never had any legal custody to my daughter and was only receiving a couple days of visitation a month with her and her mother was running the show. ...When I first found Ronald on Avvo.com, I knew that I needed help fast and didn't have a ton of money to throw at lawyer fees. After I had my consultation with Ronald I knew he HAD to be the one to represent me in my family court battle. He is extremely knowledgeable, he takes time to listen and understand your case in it's entirety and makes you always feel like you are his first priority. Ronald represented me for six months and he never let me down. He is always available when I need him, to answer questions, to deal with my daughter's high conflict mother, or just to check in to see how me and my family are doing. In addition to all that, he went above and beyond to work with me to come up with a payment plan that would work for the both of us. Ronald has a 5 star rating for a reason, he is the best family court lawyer you can find. I am so blessed that I found Ronald when I did. My family is finally whole again after six long miserable years. I plan to have Ronald represent me for any and all future family court issues. Thank you Ronald for changing my family's life, you are the best!!

The best decision I made

I would highly recommend Mr. Kossack to everyone, especially to those who have a difficult divorce case. My divorce took almost 2 years. My ex husband was very difficult and he gave me a hard time. Mr. Kossack was a second attorney for me. First attorney was awful, he messed up my case and took my mo...ney. What I like the most about him is that he always tells me the truth. I feel like the attorney who just cared about money is always saying the thing the client wants to hear and not telling the truth. But not Mr. kossack. He always tells me the truth, even the things I don’t want to hear. He is always right because he has a lot of experience and knowledge. Also what I like about him is he is very responsible. He always responds to my email quickly and solve my problems. He helped calm me during this hard time. I am very happy about my new life, I got what I am supposed to have now. I could’t say thank you enough!!

Look no farther, this is the lawyer you want

Ron was recommended to me by another attorney as the one he "Goes to" for advise. My case was very complicated, what I was asking for was impossible. Ron took my case with an understanding he can get me some, and would try for the rest of what I wanted. Here is the short version. My son and I a...re reacquainted after a year of his mother keeping us apart. (one of the impossible) My child support has been reduced and the court is calculating the overage I have paid, I will be getting credit for it. (overage impossible) The spousal maintenance which had two different and conflicting orders is being corrected, approximately $20,000 dollars in my favor. I can not say enough good about Ronald Kossack Law! If you calculate Ron's fee to what he has saved me in payments, it would exceed the better of "Wall St." milestones! Ron's office staff are among the kindest people on the planet, and most understanding of your situation and emotional state as you wade through your hearings and trial.

Very Perceptive Attorney

Ron is an extremely skillful attorney. His perceptive abilities, writing skills, and knowledge of the law are what tipped the scale for me in my case. My case involved a stipulation from a previous family court agreement with unfavorable wording. Ron was able to combine an emotional understanding of... my case with the intellectual skills to resolve a potentially litigious problem. He achieved a settlement that was extremely reasonable for me and my children. He listened to the facts, was able to take organized evidence, worked with the opposing counsel in a positive manner, and utilize all in my best interest.

Fantastic Divorce Attorney

I was blindsided when my husband asked me for a divorce in March. Thankfully, our divorce was civil however, Ron handled everything quickly and professionally. After retaining Ron in May, I was divorced by mid-September and able to move on with my life. He has been truthful and compassionate. I used ...to work in the legal field and know how some attorney's can be. Ron is not your stereotypical attorney.
