About Ronza
Biography
My ability to communicate well with clients from a variety of different backgrounds and languages enables clients to be comfortable with me. I serve clients from different ethnicities, social classes, economic backgrounds, and education levels. I strive to help my clients in any way I can.
I advocate hard for my client and if a fight is needed then I get the job done. But if an agreement is feasible with little to no court interevention thereby saving my cilent thousands of dollars, I can get that job done as well. The art of negotiation and compromise is significant in the practice of law and such skills are almost always required in order to benefit the client's case. Fortunately I posess these skills and take pride in getting creative to facilitate an agreements between the parties involved.
If I cannot personally help you, I still help send clients in the right direction by offering referrals, guidance, and other helpful resources.

Genuine hardworking sincere
