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.

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.
