No B.S. Attorney! Know his stuff got me an outstanding settlement

Ron is tough to deal with but he knows his stuff. He is difficult but won't waste your money like people have stated. You have to be patient. It is not him, it is the system unfortunately. He gave me great advice, I listened and it paid off. I got a great settlement. My ex paid twice what I did in ...attorney fees. He won't hold your hand or listen to you whine that is what your friends are for or counseling. I didn't make superfluous phone calls and he didn't make unnecessary claims. Trust him to take care of business and get the nasty job of divorce done. It is not fun or pretty. Let him fight for your interest.

Professional, trustworthy, skilled attorney

Ron has been my attorney throughout a long and difficult divorce and custody case. I cannot overstate how fantastic his work has been. He is extremely knowledgeable, and absolutely nothing has slipped through the cracks. He stayed out of the mire and drama that the opposing counsel created when att...empting to run up fees. He kept my fees as low as possible, while doing all of the work that needed to be done. He has good professional relationships with experts both locally and in other regions, and this proved to be very valuable. I have recommended him to others, and I personally know a number of his clients who have also been very pleased with his work. Many attorneys sugar coat the truth with their clients, telling them what they want to hear. This might make the initial meeting more palatable, but that’s dishonest, and it's not what wins cases. Ron is straight forward and honest, and he genuinely cares about his clients.

Good enough

Represented me in my divorce. Took two years. I had a hard time reaching him, wouldn't return calls. I notified him of an issue that affected- in my opinion -the case. He said no worry. When the opposing attorney found out later about it he said ' I have no recollection of that conversation'. Maybe. ... Anyway he is known in town and seems to win enough to be considered. I've had worse. In his defense, it can't be fun handling divorces.
