I was born, raised, and married in the San Francisco Bay Area, but moved my family to Portland in 1985. I formerly taught high school English and Social Studies in California and Oregon. When not representing hurting people, I enjoy hanging out with and cooking for my friends and family, reading books (especially contemporary fiction), bicycling, hiking, watching baseball (I'm a San Francisco Giants fan), activities in my church and community, and eating at the fabulous restaurants in town.

So much Gratitude
Ron is amazing. He talked me through the process from moment one. Kept me in contact regardless of mis-step on my part, and was thorough with all email communication. He treated me with dignity and respect, got my settlement down to less than half the original debt. I cannot thank him enough for the ...
"Ronn and I worked on a case together on opposite sides. As a new attorney, many more experienced attorneys will take advantage of or push new attorneys, exploiting their relative inexperience. This was not Ronn. He was professional, courteous, and quick to respond to telephone calls and e-mails. At our first scheduling conference, he took the time to introduce me to the Court and the other attorneys waiting in the queue to welcome me to the bar. As my first opposing counsel, I hope that all my future opposing counsels will be half as professional, and I hope to have him as opposing counsel again!"
"Ronn is excellent attorney and passionate about what he does. He is a leader in the legal community. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"Ronn is an icon in the Portland legal community. Not only does Ronn advocate for his clients' rights in the courtroom but he also works hard everyday to protect the liberty of every Oregonian through his tireless work with the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. Ronn is one of the most approachable and kind attorneys I have every met."
"Ronn is a fantastic attorney in our community. He advocates strongly for his clients and he is very knowledgeable in his practice areas. I highly recommend him."
"I've worked with Ron Elzinga on injury cases and he's thorough, conscientious and professional. I've also referred cases to Ron because I know he does a good job."
"Ronn is the kind of lawyer that makes you proud to be in the profession. He is a thoughtful and honest advocate. He puts his clients first, always acting in their best interest."
"Ronn is a very knowledgeable attorney with over 20 years experience, and active member in the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. I have no hesitation in recommending him to help protect the rights of a person injured due to the negligence of another, and to ensure that the injured person receives full and fair compensation through the tools available in our American civil justice system."
"Ronn is an experienced attorney with remarkable diversity in his skills and practice. I’m confident that he does his best for all of his clients, and I would highly recommend him."
"Ronn has provided litigation assistance for my business clients. Ronn is an excellent litigator. He provides thorough analysis of the matter and extremely competent legal counsel. My clients have been very pleased with his litigation prowess and demeanor."
"Ronn is a great attorney and also a great human being. He works hard for his clients and if I were involved in an accident I would fully trust him to get me the best award."
