This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ron Coleman

Ron and his firm are not only an excellent law firm but also compassionate and caring. We have been working with them on some business matters and other things and if Ron does not handle a particular item he has a colleague that does. Ron is prompt in responding and his assistant Joanne is always ava...ilable to get urgent items in front of him when necessary. We have found Ron to be very professional in his approach and he always finds a way to get the job done right the first time. We have used Ron and his team for my company business as well as personal trusts and real estate acquisitions. Ron is very knowledgeable in protecting his clients from unnecessary risk or exposure. We would HIGHLY recommend he and his firm and have quite a number of times over the years.

Return of personal property

Mr. Coleman provided excellent mediation on are behalf in order to retrieve some personal property from an individual. Which without Mr. Colemans help would have lead to a less than desirable outcome.

Attorney Review

I have work with Ron Cleman on numerous real estate related projects. Ron was always knowledgeable, very efficient and pleasant to work with.

An outstanding attorney, a great man of strong character.

Mr. Coleman is a man of great integrity and warm character. He communicates clearly, kept us updated, provided comforting insight and a strong, yet respectful front for us. We would hire him again should we need an attorney, and recommend Ron Coleman without any hesitation.

My first and only choice for legal consul.

I have known Ron for over 25 years both professionally and personally and will continue to utilize his expertise and experience as well as refer any legal issues to him and his practice. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in all the dealings I have had the opportunity and misfortune to w...ork him on. His level of service to my friends, family and associates is on top of the best.

Avvo Rating

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.
