"Client"

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.

VERY HONEST

Ron helped me with my child custody battle and because of a few choices I made, I didnt make it a smooth case but he still went in fighting for me. He was upfront with and did not make any promises nor make it look pretty of what the outcome could be. I appreciated his honesty and professionalism.... He battled it out with the other lawyer on a couple occasions and eventually won our case and I'm very satisfied with the outcome.

Fresno's Best Attorney

Ron is very professional, hard hitting, and a well experanced family law attorney. I was lucky to have him for my case. There is no other family law attorney in the Fresno area that can match Ron. If you are in need of a great divorce attorney Ron is your man! Ron will keep you updated on yo...ur case at all times and remembers everything about your specific case, even months after the last court date! Ron knows the Famly Code sections inside and out and is well respected in the court room. Ron makes the judges understand what your looking for and what you need. Ron also makes the other side understand that your not playing around! By far, Ron is the very best divorce attorney you can hire! Please talk to him before you see anyone else.

  • 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.
