Ronald Marc Papell

As a teenager, I was in need of legal representation after having been in an auto accident that, over time, rendered me unable to use my dominant hand. With little to no parental presence or guidance behind me, I was leery of seeking representation from those who were eager to discuss their commissio...n and fees; who saw easy financial gain when a young girl walked through their door. After doing extensive research and taking multiple interviews, Ron was without a doubt the clear choice and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to obtain his counsel. Ron was confident that he could help me and turned out to be exactly what I needed: a no-nonsense, staunch, morally upstanding lawyer, who would adamantly fight for me. Though courtroom results proved to be only a small fraction of what it meant to have Ron on my side. More importantly, he was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing, exemplified by the constant kindness and compassion he showed me. His intention was not solely to win my case; he was equally, if not more determined to make sure I regained as much use in my hand as I could. While winning my case would provide me with the financial means to obtain necessary medical treatment in the future, Ron and his staff were steadfast in their search and didn’t waste any time before getting me to the best doctors throughout the course of my litigation process, ensuring that I got the immediate medical attention necessary to reduce my ever-present pain, help me regain mobility, and break me free from the defensive nature I’d adopted to protect my hand from further injury. Words cannot express how important time is to someone wrapped up in litigation with an injury such as mine. Procuring treatment was something that could not wait if long-term damage was to be minimized. My health being the top priority made me feel like I was in good hands with Ron and his team at The Law Offices of Ronald M. Papell. What also made me comfortable and confident in my decision to have Ron represent me were the things they did day in and day out. Never was I left uninformed as to the direction of my case– he and his staff always kept me updated about every move they made and where we stood. Nor was I ever left without an explanation in regards to any and every part of the legal process- for which I remain especially thankful. I have the utmost respect for Ron and the way he carries himself, handles his cases, and deals with his clients. He truly is an honest and decorous lawyer. While others insinuated that I should lie, exaggerate or accentuate my condition, Ron forbade such things. His ability to separate what he would do – what he could do – and what is best for his clients is no better exemplified than in the final moments before reaching a settlement in what had become a seemingly endless mediation: when Ron turned to me and confessed that he’d be lying if he didn’t say that he wanted to go to court and do what he does best. I was blown away by the honesty, especially because it was not a statement made in conceit or as a means to dissuade me from a settlement I was agreeable to, but as an earnest admission that he wished he could have done more for me, that I was worth fighting for, and that he wanted to give me his all. For an attorney of such savvy and stature as Ron to put himself second to what was best for me, only goes to speak to his great character and the enduring morality he brings to the practice of law. Ron is an amazing attorney who cares about the well being of his clients, going above and beyond to ensure that their quality of life reaches a higher standard as a result of his counsel. I am eternally grateful for the significant role he has played in my life and wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to anyone in need of legal representation!

I didn't realize how lucky I had it, with Ron! When I was in my car accident he walked me through every step and won my case. But beyond that, my friends told me horrible stories of their lawyers not calling them back, sitting on information for over a year and dropping the ball. That will NEVER happ...en with Ron. He's on top of it, and forces his clients to be on top of it too, it is for this reason, I think he's the absolute best lawyer!

My wife was rear ended at high speed by a company driver. The company resisted paying even for the car damage - let alone the painful injury to my wife. I am an attorney and I am fortunate to have access to the best recommendations from fellow attorneys. An attorney from Quinn (one of the most re...spected litigation firms) recommended Ron. After Ron entered the picture the attorney for the company settled within the range that Ron advised was reasonable. The reason for their capitulation was simple. Ron is not afraid to take cases to trial if need be and this is known throughout the legal industry. If prudent, Ron will go to court - and wipe the floor with opposing counsel. This fact forces the offending party to offer a reasonable settlement - or spend that much more going to court. I highly recommend Ron if you are looking for an aggressive and respectable attorney.

My wife Katherine was in a serious car accident on Pacific Coast Hwy. in May, 2010. Choosing Ron Papell to represent her was a great decision. First and most important, he got her an amount of money that exceeded our expectations by far! Of course, you would hope for that from a good attorney, but... Ron did that and much more. Katherine had a long hard recovery ahead of her and wanted to focus on that alone and I work full-time. We had no idea how much work was involved in dealing with hospital and ambulance bills to medical products companies to caregivers to legal documents to accident reports, etc., etc, etc… He made the entire process for us pretty simple. Ron even helped negotiate down many of the hospital and related services we were responsible for paying. In addition, Ron and his staff were not only helpful, but compassionate. Until you actually go through it, you have no idea how hard and traumatic the experience is for everyone involved. I know they actually cared. I remember Ron hugging Katherine (gently) a couple of times and holding her hand telling her it’s all going to be okay. When we had questions or needed help, we ALWAYS got taken care of quickly. We had so many questions… They also did a great job of keeping us informed. The last two things I want to mention blew me away! Ron got Katherine her settlement without her ever having to give a deposition. I still can’t believe it. That was so special, because Katherine was terrified and absolutely dreading the fact that her deposition was almost a certainty. She’s very shy to begin with and the last thing she wanted to do was relive her accident and thankfully, she didn’t have to… Then, you hear stories about these kinds of cases dragging on forever, but not here. The speed in which the entire case was resolved was so darn impressive. Believe me, when it’s all over, you’ll want to take this guy to dinner!
