One Heck Of a Lawyer...

Well let me start off by saying that i was very impressed with how professional and understanding Mr. Ronald William Hedding was. I had a previous lawyer that took my case and we went to court and i pled no contest to my DUI. Unfortunately afterwards i lost my job and wasn't able to get registered in...to my classes. I contacted my previous lawyer and he put me on calendar to go back to court but when the date came up he wasn't able to go to court for various reasons. It got to the point that i had a warrant out for my arrest and i had to make something happen fast or there was a very good possibility that i was going to get locked up. My father contacted various lawyers but everyone wanted thousands of dollars just to go back to court for one day and get my warrant removed. My father stumbled across Mr. Hedding's and he was very understanding about the entire situation and he scheduled me in for the following week. He went to court and for the first time a lawyer did what he said he was going to do and got the warrant recalled and me back in class. It was the first time that i felt that my lawyer earned his money. I haven't had to many lawyers but i had a bitter taste in my mouth still from my previous lawyer that charged me 3,500 dollars and didn't do anything that i couldn't do on my own. My previous lawyer painted one hell of a pic and didn't do anything that he said he was going to do and then left me out in the dust when i needed him to recall my warrant. Not only did Mr. Hedding do what he said he could do for me but he didn't bankrupt me with the fee's he charged me and to top it all off in LA county they make you pay 100 dollars to just enroll into your DUI classes. At the time i didn't have any money on me. He then pulled out 100 dollars out of his own pocket and said go register in your classes so you don't have to come back and take time out of work. I've never met suck a king hearted lawyer before. This guy was a angel sent. He didn't stereotype me based on my DUI conviction he based everything off of my character. Of course i made it my soul purpose to make sure that he received all of his money in return. Im never planning on him having to represent me in any cases from now on just because I'm never going to get in trouble again but i will definately recommend him to everyone i know. Thank you Mr. Hedding for believing that theres still good/trustworthy people out there. Thank you very much and god bless..

The absolute best!!

I was pulled over for a DUI in November '13. I waited up until the day before my court date to get representation from the Hedding Law Firm. Not only did he accept to represent me, he did it without taking full payment on the quoted price. (He let me pay the remainder of the balance a few weeks lat...er) For it being my first run in with the law and my first experience hiring a lawyer, I was a little nervous about the whole thing, given all the horror stories about terrible lawyers.. I never thought I would be so at ease about the whole process. I was always informed what was going on either via mail or phone call. At no point did I feel Mr. Hedding was lying or telling me what I wanted to hear.. He was honest and straight to the point. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Oh and did I forget to mention that he got my DUI arrest down to an exhibition of speed ticket!!!!

The Best...

Hedding Law Firm met and or exceeded all my expectations ....I had the priviledge of working with Mr. Ron W.Hedding Sr. Not only did we win our case but he was very detailed and professional ...Always available and present during my stressful experience, I felt a sense of comfort in the court room... and really appreciated his genuine support ! Highly recommend this law firm and especially Mr. Ron W. Sr...

The Hedding Law Firm

The Hedding Law Firm exceeded our expectations. Our court dates were continually postponed and we were required to appear multiple times, they always had a representative with us until a satisfactory Judgement was reached.

Best Lawyer!

I highly recommend Hedding Law firm. Ron Sr. handled my boyfriend's and mine's DUI cases exceptionally well. He managed to get both our DUI charges reduced to exhibition of speed with 2 years probation, as well as getting the chargers expunged after probation is served. Ron maintained great communica...tion throughout the whole process, and kept us informed every step of the way. He also has great connections with the Van Nuys courthouse. We could not be more satisfied with his level of work to get the best sentencing given our circumstances.
