Outstanding Attorney

Ron Coleman has served as the attorney for our business for the past couple of years. I've always found him to be available whenever we needed his expertise. When there was an ongoing issue we would email back and forth sometimes several times a day and he would always have answers to our questions ...and suggestions on how to proceed. He works very hard to meet his clients needs and seriously listens to their concerns. Due to the state of the ecomony we recently had to close our business after many years. It was a devastating experience but Mr Coleman's support and knowledge of business procedures were invaluable in the process.

Review of Ron Coleman

Ron has done legal work for our school, as well as given us legal advice, and it's always been of the highest caliber. I hear similar reports form his other clients.

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.
