Honest advocate

Ronnie was hired as an attorney for my son after he was a juvenile and he was very thorough and organized. He was recommended by another attorney/ judge that was a family friend. He always made himself available and did a great job with my son. He is Autistic and Ronnie made him feel comfortable and ...explained everything so he understood. I would recommend him to anyone.

Not happy with out come, felt ignored by the end

I felt my concerns were ignored, and that he wasnt working actually working for me. I am currently trying to get back to court to change the parenting plan. I hired him so my daughter wouldn't be going through what she is now and I feel I paid thousands of dollars for nothing. He insisted I agree to ...what her dad was purposing for a plan because he had gone X amount of time without doing anything. We were in court in the first place because he was stalking our house (got caught by the police once and camera a second time). I would not recommend him.

Posted by anonymous | December 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Do not hire him for child support and post secondary support, he is not familiar with it, obviously!

I know that child support outcome depends on the decision of the judge and i am aware that in cases like this, you cannot always get the outcome you want but he is obviously not familiar on the child support field. I believe it is HOW YOU PRESENT YOUR CASE IN COURT matters and he didn't do it well. ... I told him couple of times what i want and the things to be brought to the court to be clarified for documentation purposes but WAS NEVER DISCUSSED in court like college credit and I have to force him to ask the judge on the amount i have to pay during school break while we were in the court too.

Don't use for divorce representation. Unresponsive. Sidesteps

Takes days to respond and sidesteps issues. Forgets details. I did my best to be a good client and allow Ronnie to use his expertise. Anything asked of me was rectified in hours. Most anything asked of Ronnie took days for a response and often was half completed. I feel he hid behind terminology betw...een what I asked him to do and his responses to me when I demanded explanation as to why my wishes were not expressed; much less enacted. Just one example; I made a wish known and a full 10 calendar days later, I express frustration (nasty email) at the delay, and magically, the opposing party responds. Ronnie even admitted once that he will call opposing council immediately after my conversation with him... FOR SOMETHING I DISCUSSED WITH HIM MORE THAN 3 BUSINESS DAYS AGO! My favorite is when I instructed for modification of spousal support Jan 17, 2016 with subsequent repeated instruction multiple times and finally get a letter of intent submitted to opposing council by Feb 10, 2016. (Wow... a letter of intent. I just can't imagine how opposing council would deny that request.) On Feb 2, 2016 I expressed again that I need immediate modification of spousal support because I was paying 67% of my net income for child+spousal. Nothing came of it. Then by Feb 16, 2016 I was told to pay another retainer. Thanks for nothing.

Adoption

We used Ronnie Soriano for adoption of a step child. Ronnie was knowledgeable regarding family law, and ended up saving us approximately $1,000.00 due to his knowledge regarding the adoption process. Ronnie was respectful towards us, and I believe he did his best to move the process through as swiftl...y as he could.
