True pro at what he dose I would rate him 10,000,000 stars
Raed is a God sent, a true guardian angel at best. He not only got my little angel back for me but he also saved me from myself. As he told me once, I have a tool box with only one tool which was a hammer and I tried to fix all my problems with it but only made it broken even more but he has provided me with many tools to help me fix my many problems I had and now fixing and will continue to collect my tools for a sober life. Ron will always be one of the most important mentors in my life. There are truly not enough words in the dictionary that will express my gratitude and appreciation I have for him. He is very wise I remember and will never forget. when I meet him he told me something that stuck with me ( I'm damaged but not broken ) and those 5 words gave me strength to continue with my sobriety and be the best parent I can be. I am truly grateful and blessed to have encountered such a strong attorney. a true soldier of the law and would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a awesome attorney. PS thanks again Ron you're the greatest!!

Child Custody
Ron knows how to protect your rights in Child custody. The day I presented him with my case he outlined what he would do and predicted many things my ex would do in the mean time. He didn't promise me anything and told me best case and worst case. We were prepared fully when we went to court and I was very happy with the outcome. The courts know Ron very well and he puts up a very thought out and reasoned arguement. If I ever have to deal with custody again, Ron will be my first call. He is reasonable on his fees as well so just one less thing to worry about in such a stressful time in your life.

Amazing lawyer
Mr Nijmeddin is amazing. He is very knowledgeable about the court system. With his knowlege he is able to provide insight on the best choices for custody arrangements and divorce settlement. He and his staff were always very helpful and prompt to respond. Mr. Nijmeddin was able to help me to get all I was asking for in my child custody arrangement and divorce. He made the divorce process easier and less painful.

Exceptional attorney!!
Thank you doesn’t seem sufficient to express my appreciation to Mr. Nijmeddin for all that he has done for me and my child. Mr. Nijmeddin is an exceptional attorney. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and understanding person. He knows family law inside out, and knows how to direct you to reasoning while at the same time being very considerate to your emotions as a mother. He responds to calls or e-mails in a timely manner – same day most of the time!. The court experience with him is another story. I would have never represented myself or think of someone who would have represented me better than the way Mr. Nijmeddin did. My case was so difficult, and I am sure I would have never get what I got if I was not represented by him. I really can't think of one thing that i didn't like throughout the whole experience. I strongly advice anyone looking for a child custody / divorce attorney to visit Mr. Nijmeddin first. Thank you!

Made My life Better
Ron made my life better in 2 months after waiting 4 years for a Paralegal to figure out how to processes paperwork. He was honest and upfront about timelines, filings, and fees. He answered every question and made it easier to sleep at night. I have already given his office number out to 3 people and would gladly refer him to anyone.

Highly Recommended Attorney
A trustworthy and astute family law attorney who fights for his client--not just cliche--his passion is manifested in his court arguments on behalf on his client.

KC case

Only If The other 95% of Attorneys were Like Attorney Raed Nijmeddin
Attorney Raed Nijmeddin ("Ron" hereinafter) has immense Communication Ability. Ron clearly explained the TWO possible routes to solve the “Unjust Enrichment” issue. He provided his potential charges based on his estimates of the hours that may take if we went to trial. He also provided the other alternative where he could attempt to resolve the issue amicably with the opposing party. Ron’s written & verbal communications with the other party was very successful and fruitful within relatively short period. Ron’s Responsiveness was remarkable. He returned ALL the calls in a timely manner. Furthermore, Ron’s Services were High Quality comparing to my other THREE previous Family Law Attorneys. In conclusion, Ron’s services for my recent court issue were resolved with one of two solutions that cost 40% of the other solution. I call that a GREAT Value for Money. That is why I sincerely think that Attorney Raed "Ron" Nijmeddin is one of the 5% Great Attorneys.

Greatest Family Law Attorney
Ron Nijmeddin is a great family law attorney. He is trustworthy, respectful, is well versed and is very knowledgeable of the law. He is willing and able to explain situations to you without making them too complicated. Ron is as honest as they come. Divorce can be a mean and nasty situation between two people and their respective families, but Ron managed to help my mother-in-law through her divorce and we are grateful we had him on our side. If you need a family law attorney, Ron is the person to call. I would not hesitate to refer my friends and/or family to Ron. Thank you Ron for being there for my family.

Awesome!
I hired Mr. Nijmeddin in the middle of my divorce, which was extremely messy, after going through other attorneys that seemed more money-hungry than helpful. He was able to get my child and spousal support lowered dramatically, and finalize my divorce. His knowledge is AMAZING, very easy to talk to, puts you in a comfortable environment. Walking down the hallways at the courthouse with him was one of the greatest feelings, especially when other attorneys would tell me, "You have a good one". I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Nijmeddin for Family Law issues. You won't find anyone like him....

Professionalism at its best
I just recently hired Mr. Nijmeddin Sept of 2014 to defend me in a case regarding an ex parte I had acquired him at least 5 days before the actual court date and he was willing to clear his schedule to be there with me. He gave me more then just advice to help myself in court but as a parent in the future. We were there the whole day and he did not spend time doing other things his focus was on my case and researching more into my reasoning and jotting down notes to help defend me if it came back in the other parties favor. He had my daughters best interest at his priority while carrying his professionalism with him. He had also won another case while we were waiting for our orders to come back and I was able to sit in and watch him actually perform a defense in the case. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have a fighting chance. In the end of my hearing court saw favor in my side with my request which Ron handled every little detail. Definitely in my eyes an attorney who has the experience and ambition to help you in your case. Thank you Ron for the help and advice.

Best Lawyer In Fresno
If you want a really good honest hard working Divorce lawyer then "Ron" is the guy his resume speaks for it's self. If anyone knows my ex they would say that she's a hard one to handle! But not for Ron he handled her magnificently and never let her get over on me. This man knows the law well and will give you only the best advise it's up to you to follow it. If I had it all over to do again I would have listened a little closer but time just simply not on my side I had to settle ASAP. So if you have the time go for the throat! Ron is a great person he does it the right way, the way the laws are written. His fees are well worth the money spent because when I hang up the phone after talking to him I know the job is going to get done. He is always willing to lend an ear and will go the distance with out a doubt. So if you are looking for a lawyer look no farther Ron's the guy.
