Best Software Lawyer
Ron is a fantastic lawyer, in particular his ability to see the big picture and come up with practical results -- even if the practical route means he gets no fees. He is also one of the best software licensing lawyers our company has ever seen.
Ronald Neil Weikers's Lawyer Endorsements
"If there's an attorney out there who knows more about technology, software licensing or cybercrime I have yet to meet him. Ron is the preeminent attorney in these fields, and the first and last person I would call when confronting them in my own practice. It doesn't hurt that he's a phenomenal person as well."
"I endorse Attorney Weikers. He is an expert in his field."
"I had the pleasure of taking a class with Ron at UNH Law. He was not only knowledgeable about the subject, but framed issues with a business savvy that I imagine serves his clients well. Finding lawyers that can communicate effectively is not always an easy thing, but I would recommend Ron without reservation."
"I have worked with Ron in a variety of capacities over the years. He offers a perspective that is a fantastic combination of wisdom and thoughtfulness. This, and his ability to think differently takes him from the ranks of merely "good" lawyer, to the ranks of "great lawyers.""
