Best Lawyers in LA (Ron Senior or Ron Junior)! When do we need a lawyer? When we are facing big problems. Unfortunately for me, one of my most favorite family members has been having legal problems frequently in last 25 years and, fortunately, we came across Hedding firm then and used this firm (father or son) since, to help us with all our legal cases. First, every time when I call them, I feel no judgment! That is very important because you already feel low, sad, and talking to somebody who shows understanding is helpful. Secondly, if other attorneys will use this moment to scare you more to charge more, Heddings usually give you hope: they tell you that thing are not too bad. For example, I called thinking that our case (hit and run) will be Felony, but Ron Hedding Seniour right away assured me that it would be misdemeanor due to Circumstances of the case ! He did not use this moment to scare me and ask for higher price for his services and I really appreciate that. And even if the case is really bad, they give you hope that they will find a way to protect you from going to jail or get you off the hook that you are in; and always they deliver what they promised. Thirdly, they are not greedy like others and I can say that their prices are affordable. Furthermore: they always call you back be that after work hours or weekends; they always call and keep you posted how your case is going; they call and remind you that you have a court day in 1-2 days! They accept any credit card; they are always Friendly, Professional, Ethical and have good sense of humor; they are well known and well respected by judges in LA area specially; Want to express special thank you to Ron Senior for the last case: I thought that the driver license will be suspended but it was not! Thank you! If you need a lawyer, do not look further: CALL HEDDING OFFICE and you will not regret it.

Mr Hedding is very smart and knows his job well. I can't believe that I had such a great lawyer for a very fair price. I hope I never have to call a lawyer ever again but, if I do I know who to call.

Ronald Hedding was perfect. Understanding and execution of all parts of the DUI legal process, as well as informing me of all aspects of my case put me at ease. Mitigating the best possible outcome for me was well above expectations and better than all others I have learned were in similar situations. Truly the best! Great Value!

Mr. Ronald W. Hedding is amazing, handling my case superbly! I had a domestic violence case and I was panic as hell. Mr. Ron W. Hedding listened to me very patiently, asked many questions and took all of my concerns seriously. He walked me through possible outcomes and what he could do to help me. Without any hesitation, I chose Mr. Ron W. Hedding as my attorney after consulting with several attorneys. He was very pro-active and always kept me well informed. He had good connections in the LAX court and knew the persecutor very well. The entire hearing lasted less than 10 minutes and I walked away with case dropped. I’m so glad that I asked him to be my attorney. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney. Last but not the least, his price is very reasonable, the lowest among several attorneys I consulted.

Mr. Hedding was very helpful in getting me through my case. He was always able to talk whenever I had questions about my case or was able to get back to me very quickly. I felt like I was always in good hands with Mr. Hedding since I first talked to him. I got more than I expected from him as he was able to help get my case dismissed.

I had a recent court case on February 17, 2015 and was facing DUI charges with a BAC of .088 (blood) Ron Sr. was able to get an initial wet reckless offering but told me they were going to go for an even better outcome based on their research on my case. After reviewing the police report and MVAR he showed up in court and was able to convince the prosecutor to offer me a speed contest!! Needless to say I was extremely happy and grateful. Ron Sr. is a fantastic and caring attorney! I've dealt with lawyers who take your retainer and then seem to suddenly disappear on you. Not these guys. As I mention in my title, he always kept me in the loop, kept me informed and gave me peace of mind without any overpromises. Their fees were extremely reasonable and believe me, I shopped around. It's not fun going through DUI "stuff" and he and his son Ron Jr. (who is another awesome attorney) run a great practice and the whole team there is top notch. Thank You!
