Ronald W Downs

Ron Downs provided legal representation for me during a lengthy and complicated corporate non-compete claim and subsequent law-suit by my former employer. His thorough understanding of employment law and network of national experts help craft a multi-pronged defense which included researching and pre...senting the case using both Oregon and Kansas Law, the state in where my former employer is based. Mr. Downs represented me, first through the required mediation, and then through several settlement attempts which resulted in finalizing the suit in binding arbitration. His handling of the case was exceptional and was beyond my expectations. His preparation of the case and witnesses as well as the preparation of me for depositions and the arbitration hearing was far superior to what I witnessed of the legal team for my former employer. Mr. Downs reviewed issues with candor walked me though the case and educated me on the processes of the legal system. Always available for counsel, Mr. Downs guided me through the case and provided an ear to listen and support along the way. He is an attorney that went beyond what is minimally required to represent a client. If you are looking for a litigator that will be honest and upfront, who is excellent in the courtroom and who will go the extra mile for you I highly recommend Ron Downs.

I live in another state so you can imagine my apprehension of having to hire an out of state attorney to help with a legal matter. I did my due diligence and read the information/bio for each attorney in the Salem area. Out of the all the attorneys, I only called Ron. He was the best choice. My... daughter was hit by a car in a cross walk in Salem. He gave us options, provided us the necessary information needed to make an informed decision and handled the matter quickly and effectively. He was personable, professional, understanding, and kept us updated throughout the entire process by explaining everything. He understood our need to resolve the situation so that my daughter could move on. Should the need ever arise; I would gladly utilize his services again. I highly recommend Ron Downs.
