With more than 30 years of experience in various areas of family law, including high-income divorce, custody and visitation issues, child support, and mediation and collaborative law, Ronald K. Stitch is the founder of the Law Offices of Ronald K. Stitch, located in Westlake Village, California. Certified as a specialist in family law by the Board of Legal Specialization of the State Bar of California, he represents clients throughout Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
After receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Pepperdine University in 1975, Mr. Stitch attended Claremont Graduate University and earned his Master of Arts in zoning and land use in 1976. He then went to Golden Gate University School of Law and was awarded his Juris Doctor in 1979.

The mediation training that Mr. Stitch received from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law as well as the advocacy training from University of California Hastings College of the Law has enabled him to offer mediation services as an alternative dispute resolution option to the litigation process in family law disputes. He encourages clients to opt for this alternative during amicable or low-asset divorce cases that do not involve complex custody issues, and has successfully resolved many matters in such a fashion. Mr. Stitch continues to refine his methods through his membership in the Association for Conflict Resolution and stays abreast of current developments in his practice area through his membership in the Ventura County Bar Association and his active participation in the Family Law Sections of both the State Bar of California and the American Bar Association.

They brought peace back to my life!
I can't say enough good things about Ronald and his team. Stephanie was my attorney, and she is wonderful. She guided me through the most difficult time in my life: a very painful divorce. The divorce wasn't easy as there were a lot of factors involved as well as a timeline to get things done. I am so very grateful for everyone in the office. All were professional and kind. When you go through a divorce, you need a kind soul to help you through and that's what they did. I will always be forever grateful for their service to me and my children.

Great Attorney
My experience with Ron and his team has been an extraordinary experience. I hired Ron to represent me with a custody matter and he was amazing; Ron and everyone in his office supported me through this legal matter both professionally and personally. I don't know if I would have gotten through it without all of their support. In addition to this my current wife and I are currently in a divorce proceeding and Ron is representing me in this case. There has been a few incorrect billings with payments being posted to the incorrect files, and when I have called to correct this matter it is dealt with immediately and professionally, with sincere apologies. There is no better attorney for family law representation in the Westlake Village area, or for that matter all of Southern California.
