Best Lawyer I Have Ever Had

After hours of research trying to find a reliable attorney, I finally decided to contact Ron Makarem. I was not disappointed at all! He was able to quickly understand the problem I was having and I could tell right away that he is very knowledgeable lawyer. He provided strong legal counsel and was able to settle my case with a much better outcome than I expected. I will definitely call Ron again for any legal help I may need in the future.

Ethics and professional responsibility Attorney | Nov 19
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Of all the lawyers I have ever endorsed, Ronnie is at the top of the list. He has obtained the largest settlements and verdicts that I have seen, and he does it ethically. Most impressive is that once he takes your case, his entire heart and emotions are yours for the duration of his representation, even if your case makes a turn for the worst. I have seen Ronnie take cases to trial that he knew was a likely loser, because he cared about his clients right to be heard in court. I give my highest endorsement to this lawyer."
