Exceptional legal advice for my divorce

Ron and Justin O'Connell served as my legal advisors during my divorce. I could not have been more pleased with how they represented my case. Over the several years it took to resolve all the issues, they located financial experts, advised me during a period of mediation, and outlined the legal is...sues in my cases in a timely and straightforward manner. During a highly stressful time, they were always sensitive to the emotions involved in the divorce. I could not recommend a professional more highly.

Clear Advice, Prompt and Knowledgeable

I have been an attorney for over 40 years but I do not handle family law cases. For my divorce, I went to Ron Granberg who has an excellent reputation in the local legal community. Ron is very knowledgeable in family law and has published articles in professional journals on family law topics. He ...provides clear directions for his clients to follow. Ron is prompt in taking care of business.

Extremely satisfied

I had a complicated divorce, and I'm very happy I had Ron as my advocate. His understanding of the law is deep, and I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. There were a few bumps in the road, but Ron handled all issues with great professionalism. I've seen lower fees elsewhere, but you'...ll get your money's worth here. If I have another issue requiring an expert in family law, I will go to Ron again.

Ron Granberg divorce mediation

Ron did an excellent job mediating, drafting and filing our divorce agreement. It was complex and Ron did a very nice job explaining the law and helping each of us get comfortable with the many decisions that needed to be made. He was sensitive and knowledgeable and came up with a agreement that has ...stood the test of time.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
