Reviews for Ronald
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Ron Fatoullah is perhaps the finest attorney I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He is extremely knowledgeable, highly ethical, and truly cares about his clients. His office is run professionally and with great care to details. One could not ask for more in a lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services or legal advice.
Very knowledgeable in the field of elder law.
If you are looking for a good law firm that will actually perform quality work for you, keep on going, because this is not the firm. They took my retainer, and provided absolutely nothing in return but excuses. Worst legal experience ever!
