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.

Thank you Ron

My friends refer to Ron as the "bulldog", a real complement! He was able to nail a very sneaky ex spouse. He initially handled only my restraining order which would have expired after 3 years. It became clear the "ex" had not moved on and continued breaking the order without consequences because ...he was a convincing liar. I knew my life would be hell if the restraining order did not get continued!!! Thank goodness the order was extended another five years. Ron exposed the other party catching him in an elaborate series of lies. Thanks to Ron I have my life back and I don't feel I have to move away to be safe. In hindsight, I would have been better off if Ron had also handled my divorce.

Thankful!

Ron Nijmeddin is an amazing attorney! I hired Mr. Nijmeddin to assist me with my dissolution of marriage and custody. Mr. Nijmeddin is very honest, helpful, professional, straightforward, and he was always quick to respond to my inquiries. He is very passionate about what he does and it shows in his ...work. Even though I have an understanding of family law, he took the time to put everything into perspective for me and made me feel like we were a team, team Matlock. He always guided me in the right direction, was always ready to go to bat for me, and made sure we never lost focus of the best interest of my daughter. Mr. Nijmeddin made one of the biggest decisions of my life a whole lot easier and I will be forever grateful for what he did for my daughter and I.

Great Service, Personality - Completely Reliable and Professional

Mr. Nijmeddin is an amazing attorney. After a thorough research and speaking with other attorneys I have chosen Mr. Nijmeddin based on reviews from other clients and the reviews are absolutely correct. I found my experience working with Mr. Nijmeddin to be professional but friendly during a diffi...cult time. He did an outstanding job of keeping me informed as to the progress of my divorce and was very quick to respond to my many questions. 

I was very satisfied with how he handled my case. He did everything exactly as he stated he was going to do. With Mr. Nijmeddin you are in capable hands and you never feel alone. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of his services. Thank you again RON!!

Five stars will never be enough. Another Attorney referred me to Ron Nijmeddin. When I met Ron Nijmeddin, I had been through a nightmare of legal struggles concerning Divorce, Child Custody, Child support and Restraining orders. Ron Nijmeddin always responed to me quickly, so I always had enough inf...ormation of what’s going on and felft like I was not alone when I was going through the difficult and stressful part in my life. He has been an amazing help dealing with these issues and representing me successfully. All in all, I would highly recommend Ron Nijmeddin for anyone looking for a respected lawyer, who truly cares about his clients. Thanks so much for all your help, Ron Nijmeddin.
