Very aggressive, knowledgeable, highly intelligent lawyer

I hired Ronny when my life was feeling hopeless I had exhausted money into two lawyers, and was looking at 17 years in prison for a crime that I didn't even do. I felt hopeless like no one would listen to me. Ronnie was affordable knowledgeable, and very professional. He told me some things I didn't ...want to hear and and always kept it real, but what he did do is got my charges dropped down to a misdemeanor with no jail time I own my life. I would recommend this lawyer to anybody who's facing criminal charges to anybody who has a lawyer tell them the best they can do is prison time for something they didn't do . Thanks Ronnie 5 years of fighting for my freedom is over u saved my life I will forever be greatfull for what some see as a job u took it seriously your negotiation skills are more than anybody could ask for you were able to talk with the prosecutor and tell him my side of the story in a way that the other lawyers that I had hired did not care to and I didn't always understand the The process and wasn't always easy to deal with you remain professional, and got the best possible outcome that u could ever ask for

He Didn’t Just Defend My Case. He Helped Give Me My Life Back

Calling Ronnie Rae a guardian angel almost feels like an understatement. I came to him during one of the most frightening and uncertain periods of my life. I had been falsely accused of second-degree felony domestic violence assault and was facing the possibility of years in prison. I knew I was inno...cent, but when your freedom, reputation, career, and future are suddenly at stake, innocence alone does not make the fear disappear. From my very first consultation with Ronnie, something felt different. I knew almost immediately that I wanted him representing me. He listened, he understood the seriousness of what I was facing, and most importantly, he made me feel like I had someone in my corner who was prepared to fight for me. Once Ronnie took my case, he worked tirelessly. There were times when it genuinely felt as though I was his only client. He was responsive whenever I had questions, kept me informed throughout the process, explained what was happening in a way I could understand, and gave me reassurance during moments when the uncertainty became overwhelming. He never treated my case like another file on his desk. He treated it like my life depended on the outcome. Because in many ways, it did. The final result was beyond anything I could have imagined. RONNIE WAS ABLE TO GET MY CASE FULLY DISMISSED!!! It is difficult to put into words what it feels like to have that weight lifted from your shoulders. Ronnie didn’t simply achieve an incredible legal outcome for me, he helped give me my future back. There are moments in life when you never forget the person who stood beside you when everything seemed to be falling apart. Ronnie Rae will always be one of those people for me. If you are facing a serious criminal matter and looking for an attorney you can trust with your future, hire Ronnie Rae. I truly cannot say that strongly enough. When so much is on the line, you want someone in your corner who will take your case seriously, communicate with you, fight for you, and remain committed through every step of the process. Ronnie did exactly that for me, and I will always be grateful that I chose him.

Ronnie's goals" and attributes are not only to win your case but to also dismiss your case.

I was impressed and satisfied the way we wont our case and to be dismissed. Ronni is a well experienced lawyer that really knows how to handle difficult cases that requires a high profile of experience.

Hope when you have none.

Me and my wife were facing a criminal charge (gross misdemeanor). From the first second on the phone all he showed us was we still had hope. Others said you were done, dead to rights, ect. Our hearts were down and our stress levels were through the roof. In just over one month he has helped us recove...r our hope and our lives, and reduce our stress. If you are facing criminal charges and see only darkness just know that Ronnie has helped others find light in the darkness.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Recently, I required the assistance of local counsel here in Wenatchee following the arrest of a family friend. I inquired among my colleagues who suggested that I speak with Washington State lawyer Ronnie Rae. Not one to enjoy asking for assistance when it comes to criminal defense work, I dreaded the thought of reaching out. I can’t help but recall thinking, “it’s just the local rules, I got this… Mr. Rae will let me lead this one.” wrong… The truth is that by the time I stepped in (which was immediately) there was nothing to lead. Lawyer Ronnie Rae’s had this in the bag before I even told him my name. With a few well placed analogies, Mr. Rae educated me on the local law, judicial practices, procedure and even outlined the specific preemptive measures that were not only appropriate but also the recipe called for under the circumstances. “you are going to be a hero to that family…” he said. This lawyer is awesome."
