Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

I have worked with Ron on several cases including Federal. He is ethical and always looks out for the client's best interests.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

I wanted to get an advice on the landlord - tenant agreement on Friday evening (because that's exactly the thing you want to do on Friday evenings :) and I called several attorneys in my area. Ron got back to me within an hour and after listening to my concerns explained his understanding of my situa...tion. While I still plan to meet with him to go through the details, his suggestions that I got over the phone provide peace of mind and that's exactly what I needed to keep planning my move.

Criminal Defense

Ron did a great job representing and keeping me up to date with my case. We mostly communicated via text and email. He tried his hardest and got me the best plea bargain possible. He was easy to speak to and welcomed questions. I would hire him again in the future. My case was 2 felonies boiled ...down to 2 misdermeanors, 90 days to 1 year sentence reduced to 14 days in County and a few other tidbits. This was my first offense and I have no criminal record. My job, house and family were saved. Thanks Ron.

Excellent up and coming attorney! Highly recommended!

I was fortunate enough to get a chance to work with Mr. Cabanayan and I was very professional and knowledgable. He was able to easily rattle off all the newest laws and case precedents. If he didn't know the answer to my questions right away, he would tell me right away and that he would get back to ...me ASAP, which he did. The thing that I liked most about him is he is a no BS type of guy. Many attorneys don't know the answers right away which is fine, however they try to make something up to look intelligent, and wind up making a fool of themselves. I think that Ron is one of the very few honest attorneys out there and I wish him the best of luck and I am sure he won't need it.

Knowledgeable lawyer

I had a hypothetical legal question and Ronald provided a very comprehensive and complete answer. I am in no need of legal assistance at the moment but wouldn't hesitate to consult Ronald and have his assistance if I am ever in need.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
