Best Criminal Defense Attorney Out There

I am so grateful for Ron. I mean it when I say you will not find better representation. Ron is a legal eagle, ace at the case, hole-in-one hotshot. My mom is an Orange County attorney, so I could have had free representation. Growing up with her, I am highly capable, even of representing myself. T...hat said, I have an exquisite level of discernment for selecting a hotshot. By the end of Ron working on my case, I actually paid him more than he asked for. If you are reading this review, tell me one person in this world who paid more than their attorney asked for. I would wager this is the only review you’ll see saying that—Ron is that guy. With his former DA experience, he WILL go to trial if necessary, and having that experience makes him an attorney rockstar. As soon as I retained him, he immediately began reaching out to all parties involved, gathering the necessary information, and submitting supporting documentation to the district attorney to back up my case in every way. Ron does not mess around. “You want to come at me with some type of allegation or nonsense, I will absolutely not tolerate that libel.” He’s the guy who stands firm for those dealing with lawfare shenanigans. “You picked the wrong person to mess with” is the reputation you get when Ron represents you. That’s how I felt from the very beginning and throughout the process. If you think Ron is treating you unfairly or did not get you the best possible outcome, you probably have some larger personal issues to address. It might be time to take some personal accountability—maybe talk to someone who can help with a wake-up call. Probably strongly encouraged to work through owning your actions or articulating them in a way that the rest of the world can sympathize with. Having expectations will almost always harm you in the end, especially if they are not clearly communicated. There is no right and wrong; even if you are 99.99999% right, be the bigger person. Hold yourself accountable for things you could have done differently that put you in bad situations or caused certain outcomes. Alongside this, develop the awareness and intuition to unselfishly understand the other side’s point of view versus blame. I can say with everything in me, Ron is worth every penny spent and then some. If you have any fighting chance at all in your case, this is the guy to close the book—not have it thrown at you. Ron is the best.

Amazing Lawyer - Would Hire Again

I am a medical professional and found myself in unexpected legal trouble that had the potential to either ruin or greatly impact my career. I had never had to hire a lawyer before and was intimidated my inability to tell the quality of one lawyer from another online. After speaking with Mr. Cordova a...bout my case, I hired and then worked with him for more than a year on my case. Mr. Cordova was very reasonable in his legal fees, was always extremely attentive and responded to me very fast, did a great job of helping me understand the process at every stage, and was able to get me the best outcome. He was very professional, was always on top of everything, and was easy to work and communicate with. I felt like my case was in great hands from beginning to end. If I ever find myself in legal trouble again, I wouldn't even consider hiring anyone else. I would also happily recommend Mr. Cordova to my own family members if they ever needed a lawyer.

A true Godsend for my life!

There's so much to say about Mr. Ron Cordova and his wonderful team (Laurie & Allyson). My legal matters were one of the most difficult experiences of my life, & Mr. Cordova & his team guided me through 100% of the way thru my serious legal situation, & even after it was concluded in the best way pos...sible. Words can't fully express to you the gratitude & satisfaction I've had with Mr. Cordova's amazing legal expertise & diligence to his client's best long-term interest. He has been an amazing help in saving my freedom, my career, & my quality of life. I was in a very frightening situation & Mr. Cordova had an idea of what the outcome should be & he explained to me how he can work to get my legal woes to that result. His great work, along with his legal team's help & support for me, took my legal problem about a year & a half to resolve. My life was basically on hold for the entire time & I had gone thru a ton of emotion, low-level anxiety because of the nature of this kind of lonely & long, personal, individual stress. I was totally humbled by what I was going thru, lost a lot of friends, got ostracized by a bunch of fake friends, & only a few true blue loved ones held out for me and kept me in their prayers. Despite the trouble I put myself in, I prevailed by the grace of God & the instrument that He used to get me thru the storm: Mr. Cordova & his legal team, Allyson and Laurie. A million "thank yous" go from heart to them. Before hiring Mr. Cordova, I was facing 2-3 felonies, hate crimes charges, & racial and civil rights charges by the time I was looking for a lawyer to help save me! By the end of my case, none of those charges stuck, thanks God's mercy on me and on Mr. Cordova's legal work in my behalf for over a year fighting for me!!! I thank God for answering my prayers & allowing me to meet this man & blessing me with the reasonable amount of money I needed to hire Mr. Cordova. How I got the $ necessary to meet Mr. Cordova's retainer fees was another miracle in itself. Anyhow, to shorten this and alay any fears, I would highly suggest that you follow your spirit when thinking about who you should hire when it comes to needing the best defense attorney to take on your legal battles. I have absolutely NO doubt that Mr. Ron Cordova will get you the best result humanly possible & will be the best advocate & legal counselor to your life-altering situation. I did careful research on trying to find an attorney that could give me a sense of how he would fight & defend, & protect my stupid ass, & Mr. Cordova really helped to save me from ruining my life, career, & future. To Mr. Cordova: I am supremely grateful that you fought in my behalf EVERY step of the way. You've been such an amazing help and person in my life. I want you to know that I have the highest respect, appreciation, admiration, and gratitude for you and your work. You're a very wonderful person, and are so kind and compassionate and real. Thank you for being there for me in that low point in my life throughout that year & a half or so that my legal case was dragged out for. Emotionally, I was in a tough place because I had to keep battling away the fear that tried to creep up in my mind almost constantly & snatch my soul. You were & are a tremendous person & amazing lawyer! You have so much kindness, sincerity, & compassion to help those that seek you out. My life would be in a terrible place if I hadn't met you and been allowed to have you as legal defense representation. You are truly the best. -B.P.

Ron Cordova helped me to receive the results I only could've dreamt of in a fantasy.

In 2015 I found myself in a great deal of trouble for the first time in my life. I hired Ron Cordova through a referral from another attorney who I had known for years. I was facing 4 years in state prison and the DA didn't seem to want to budge. I seriously thought that my life was over. Ron immedia...tely jumped on the case with much professionalism. When I first stepped into his office, I noticed multiple State of CA "Super Attorney" awards on the wall that really helped ease my mind. Of course, I was very scared through out the entire process, But knowing I had Ron Cordova on my side I just knew I would get the best deal possible. I remember almost breaking down after one of my court dates and Ron gave me assurance that things would be OK. I believed him. In the end I was sentenced only 6 months in County jail, which is an extreme difference from 4 years in state prison. I also only received 3 years probation which was downgraded from 5 years. I couldn't be happier with the results. To make things even better, I also may get house arrest which I am currently in the process of applying for. Considering my situation, the price was quite affordable and worth every single penny. I owe this man (Ron Cordova) my life. The relief I feel now that this will all soon be behind me is un-explainable with words. I highly recommend hiring Ron Cordova if you are ever in really bad trouble.

Great Lawyer....even better Human Being

Mr. Cordova really demonstrated to me that he is a caring person with great integrity. I had a question regarding a situation involving my dad who had gotten a traffic violation and was very confused regarding the circumstances surrounding his citation. He had gone to traffic school and was told that... part of his citation wouldn't be covered by the course. He researched the ticket and reassured me that things were fine but would monitor it in the following few weeks in case it wasn't removed. Having just finished a divorce 2 years ago, I was used to one attorney billing for every vowel that came out of her mouth. This was refreshing as I got an answer to a question and it didn't require and wasn't drawn out. My gratitude goes out to Mr. Cordova. I'm totally impressed and would more than consider him as an attorney if I were required to use one again. Thank you Ron.
