Very professional

Ron was great to work with. He explained everything so I could understand and feel comfortable about the entire process. Divorce is something none of us ever want to have to deal with, but Ron took all of my fear and worry away. Everything was handled perfectly! Thank You Ron

Do not hire

Would not recommend. Probably was better off without him as a lawyer. Went to trial and was not prepared. My case was presented sloppy and he wasn't very knowledgeable on military retirement. My wife was awarded everything including my military disability retirement that she technically wasn't untitl...ed to. The ex wife's income was clearly higher than mine and she was awarded alimony as well. He talk pretty good but was really pushed around by my ex wife's lawyer.

The ruling in this case was consistent with the facts of the case and the law. The review does not accurately reflect the reality of the trial of the case.

Unprofessional

Very unprofessional, the paperwork he did in my divorce was all wrong from names to dates to even getting the judge to sign the judgement knowing it was wrong, when Ron McBay was informed of this matter he stated it was money well spent, in my personal opinion I would not recommend this lawyer to an...yone.

Anonymous. I’ve never knowingly allowed a judge to sign an erroneous order.

Lt. Colonel & a highly skilled attorney, Ron McBay truly was my Champion in my divorce case. I can't recommend highly enough!!

Divorce is, at best, one of the most difficult and painful events in anyone’s life. In 2006, I came to Ron McBay’s office as a frightened and despaired housewife. I was intimidated by the unlimited financial resources that were at my ex-husband’s disposal and was absolutely certain that his high-prof...iled, high-priced attorney would absolutely destroy my world. Enter Ron McBay: Not only a skilled attorney, but also a Lt. Colonel in the US Army. Ron was confident, professional, and highly knowledgeable. Rather than merely reacting to the events that were rapidly unfolding, Ron was proactive and assertive, always demonstrating integrity and proficiency. Not once did he allow my ex to gain the upper hand. For 11 months, my ex stalled. He filed frivolous counter-suits and had hearings postponed. He ignored Court Orders. He even attempted to place liens on my family’s properties. For 11 months, I was at War. And Ron was my Champion in battle. He reassured me, counseled me, defended me. He truly FOUGHT for me. (He fought so well, in fact, that my ex even attempted to have Ron removed as my attorney!) Despite all of my ex’s very best efforts, Ron won my war for me. He saw to it that I was very nicely financially compensated AND he provided me with some much-needed closure in an extremely dark time. There is no price tag for that. I would offer the highest of recommendations for Mr. McBay to absolutely anyone needing a Champion in their corner. I will forever be grateful to him for all of his hard work, dedication and determination. Thanks to Ron, I was able to move forward. Seven years later, I now have a wonderfully happy life with an amazing husband and three beautiful children.
