Good option for legal representation

Ron was able to inform me of my options through the steps of a legal mater as well as fend of frivolous attempts of communication from the other attorney. He was also quick with each step and preparing needed documents which kept costs low

Excellent Attorney - Family Law Issue

I retained Ron Steingold this past year, to represent me in a matter concerning a modification of child support filed by my ex-wife. My divorce was finalized over 10 years ago, but I have a very litigious ex who habitually files numerous motions. I am a certified paralegal, and I have worked for a ...number of attorneys in the past. I had met Ron via a consultation I did with him a number of years ago. I consider him to be very knowledgeable and competent counsel. He stressed to me at the onset of the case the advantages to reaching a negotiated agreement versus litigating the matter in court. However, negotiations with my ex became difficult. The case went to arbitration – which resulted in a decision favorable to me – and then to trial on appeal. Again, the ruling was favorable to me. Ron is a very smart litigator. He thoroughly examined the positive arguments of my case, and prepared me for any potential pitfalls. His working knowledge of statutes, regulations and relevant case law is superb. In the courtroom, his demeanor put me at ease. It is my opinion that keeping a client’s anxiety in check speaks volumes as far as a successful outcome. Ron is very easy to talk to, and his fees are fair. I felt he took a sincere interest in my wellbeing and that of my children. I highly recommend Ron Steingold.

Very knowlegable and professional

Ron was very knowlegable in dealing with my divorce. There were many twists and turns in a case that should have been cut and dry. No house, kids, etc. but with an angry ex, it turned out to be a year. Ron was very conscientious about not over spending my money and when the other attorney started pla...ying games, he qouted legal jargon and stopped them cold. He was very patient with me, as I am not the best with paperwork and details. In the end, the settlement was fair and better than I had expected.

"It is a pleasure to endorse Ron Steingold, who is one of Snohomish and King Counties' most respected lawyers. I have known Ron for many years because we both do family law, but he is also available to help clients in other areas, too. Ron is a lawyer who is all strengths, no weaknesses; he is smart, hard-working, knows it all, very experienced, liked and respected by the judges and commissioners, and he really cares about his clients -- everything you want in a lawyer. Snohomish County now has mandatory mediation, and Ron would be a great choice as a mediator. Give him a call -- you'll be glad you did!"
