I couldn't have done it without Mr. Kossack!

I would highly recommend Mr. Kossack in representing you in your family law issues. He is very knowledgeable in the area of family law and made certain to fight for what was in the best interest of my child. Mr. Kossack has since had to represent me again in regards to getting an order for back due ...child support and made certain that I received a purge payment. He has always kept me very well informed of any issues, strategy and communication from the other side. Mr. Kossack is very responsive to my questions and has always been able to ease my concerns in the situation. I have recommended Mr. Kossack to friends and will continue to do so. He is very knowledgeable in the laws of family court and works for the benefit of the children involved.

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.

Best of the Best

Ron is the most professional, diligent, responsive, knowledgeable attorney I have ever dealt with. He explains the entire process in detail and gives you a realistic perspective on your case. He fights for your best interest and stands behind what is right. He is absolutely amazing in a trial sett...ing as well. Ron will answer all of your phone calls and return them promptly if unavailable. His office staff is always extremely helpful and will do what they can to help you if Ron is unavailable. I have recommended Ron to many of my friends and contacts, all of which have been extremely happy with what he has done for them as well. I highly recommend Ron to anyone and everyone whom is going through a divorce and/or is dealing with a child custody issue. He is one of a kind!

Extremely Knowledgeable & Professional Attorney!

I have worked in the legal field for 10+ years. When I realized I would have to hire an attorney for my custody battle, I asked the attorneys that I worked with for a recommendation of a family law attorney. Ron Kossack was the one and I am glad he was! This ended up being an extremely complicated... dispute that I would have not been able to see through had it not have been for Ron's patience with me and encouragement to hang in there. His knowledge of the court system was so comprehensive that he knew the likes and dislikes of every mediator, commissioner and judge we would face. He knew every approach to take in order to get a successful result and he was right! I got everything I had hoped for in my battle for my son. Looking back, it was worth it and I am glad I had Ron on my side! I have referred him to several friends who were searching for a tough, yet honest, divorce attorney. They have all had great results!

Awesome in court!

I highly recommend this lawyer. I had a very complex divorce involving a difficult custody battle and many financial issues. He was able to get me a very good custodial arrangement and much more than I anticipated. Mr. Kossack is unbelievable in the courtroom and actually had the other attorney sc...ared. I could tell that judges respect him and he was constantly advising me as to what would likely happen. He was upfront and honest with me and I have referred many friends to him. You will be very happy you have him on your side.
