I never write these but this will come easy for me. Ron is by far the wisest and brightest attorney I've ever had the good fortune to have found. My divorce was full of complex issues from the start over a year and half ago. From major property division, business,401k's, college for children ,crazy allegations ,and support the list went on. Ron took the bull by the horns and orchestrated my case like a master conductor. orchestra. He is a very knowledgable individual with a sense of brilliant creative ideas. He had my ex husbands attorneys eating out of his hands. I have to say his caliber of Attorney is a rare find in the suburbs and would highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for a first class lawyer you won't be left holding the bag with an advocate like him on your side. I have no regrets you were worth Every single dollar spent! Now on with my life!

Ron Bell, took my case and won, the other attorneys I went to kept saying to settle and Mr. Bell said you are in the right and you do not have to settle. (but did leave that option open) He always called me back and would come to the phone when I called. His staff is great too. He is an aggressive attorney that gets the job done. I enjoyed his passion & he was 100% a professional . If you want to work with an attorney that really cares and is passionate about your case (& takes your calls) and he has a high success rate of wins too, then Ron Bell is the one for you. A friend who found him on the web and then forward to me his firms web-site , is how I became a client and I thank her every day. I will never use another attorney . Thank you Ron Bell from me and my family, you earned this recommendation. John. J

Mr Bell is the best lawyer on here hands down. I had two of the other lawyers on here and I fired each of them. Then I went to Mr Bell. He answers your calls and emails very quickly, even on the weekends. He knows how to win. I only wish I went to Mr Bell first. Don’t waste your time or money with these other lawyers,

Divorce is painful and emotional and if you're like me, you don't know much about the process and don't really have the headspace to learn all about it while it is happening to you...Ron's parting words at my first consult with him were, "The best thing you can do is pretend like you are asleep for the next 6-12 months and let me handle things." Those words were so true. I didn't always want to listen to them, but being 5 months post divorce and still dealing with some issues with opposing parties not living up to the terms of the MSA, Ron is still in my corner. I don't think I realized how good he and his team are until recently. Discussing my agreement with divorcees has shown me that Ron helped me reach a fair deal that allows me to move on in life with confidence and financial stability and do the right thing for my children and he kept emotion out of it which is so important in negotiation for separating assets and in my case a lot of liabilities. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Bell and his team to anyone in need of advice and guidance and council during the process of divorce. Thank you Ron and team for working with me!

I apologize in advance for the length of this review, but I have been so impressed and positively impacted by Ron, that I feel compelled, even obligated, to share my experience. I don’t even know where to begin. Ron has been my lawyer since I was 16. Yes, unfortunately I needed him back then, and many times since. I’ve lived in other states and had to use other lawyers for various things, so I can tell you from extensive personal experience, he is the absolute best. He is one of the smartest guys you will ever meet. His skill in the court room is unparalleled. He is a shark. He knows the law, and he knows how to navigate the system to get you the best possible outcome. But beyond raw skill and knowledge, he is exceptional for so many other reasons. He is always accessible and available. If he can’t personally take a call, his assistant gets him the message and he returns the call very quickly. Despite his success and busy schedule, you always get personal attention and feel as if you’re his number one priority. If you need a letter or paperwork for some reason, you email his assistant and usually the completed documents are in your inbox within a few hours. Those of you that have dealt with other lawyers will especially understand how important and rare it is to have a lawyer as accessible and available as Ron. He is also a perfectionist. He doesn’t cut corners or trade good outcomes for expediency, even if the chances of a good outcome are slim. He does the right thing by you, regardless of the cost/benefit analysis. If there’s a chance it could improve your outcome, Ron gets it done. You never feel as if he could be doing more, but isn’t because you aren’t his top priority. With Ron, you know everything possible is being done. He quotes you a fair price, and once that is paid he sinks his teeth in and handles your case as if it’s number one priority. That kind of piece of mind is priceless. Ron takes pride in his work and gets great satisfaction is getting good outcomes in seemingly hopeless situations. This is his passion, and it shows. To give just one of many examples, I was arrested for a serious felony. They had me dead to rights. Ron not only got the charges ultimately dismissed, he is also currently having the arrest record expunged so nothing shows up on my record at all... it will be as if it never happened. Somewhere in the State or country there may be a few lawyers equally as good as Ron, but I promise you there are none better. He is as good as it comes. Because of Ron, and my relatively clean record (despite over half a dozen arrests) I was able to learn from my mistakes and ultimately get the opportunity to turn my life around. I finished college, went to medical school, and am now a practicing physician with multiple state medical licenses. I owe it all to Ron. I’ve had his card in my wallet since I was 16. It’s the most important thing I carry. Ron has always been there to help me in my darkest hours, and let me tell you, I did NOT make it easy for him. My attitude stunk and I was a mess, but regardless Ron went to battle for me every time I needed him. The law and judicial system are not as black and white as we like to imagine. The lawyer you choose makes a HUGE difference and is arguably the most important factor in achieving the best possible outcome. I can honestly say Ron changed my life and I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. I emphatically recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer. He’s a shark and you want him on your team. Best regards, D

If you are looking for an attorney, Mr. Ronald Bell will not let you down! I was not referred to him, I found him online, which made me skeptical, but I found the best attorney ever, and I now have an attorney which I will use when needed. Ronald Bell knows how to get you what is needed. Possibly the only honest lawyer I have ever met. He comes highly recommended by me. My divorce was complicated because of assets, he went over and above what was expected. I was impressed and astonished when I realized I chose the best attorney online (which was a roll of the dice) by how highly respected he is in the nation, community and courtroom. Mr. Bell called outside the 9 to 5 day, which amazed me. His staff is top notch and will get you an answer quickly. I highly recommend Ronald Bell!

Ron has been my Attorney since August 30, 2016. I know that day very well. It’s the first day since the day my Husband left and took EVERYTHING out of our bank accounts (leaving myself and Children penniless) that I finally felt safe, protected and that I had a chance against that Man whom I thought I knew. Ron and his office Family have been with me every single step of the way. It’s been a lot of steps too. My case still continues and they are still fighting for me. Ron is no lamb in the court room. He’s a lion. That’s what you want in a divorce case. He has seen everything in his career and will not let you get screwed over if he has anything to say about it. Trust me, he always does. You want someone who will be at dinner and still be thinking about your case? Ron is your guy. Want a 8-5 guy who leaves it at the door? Maybe he’s not for you then. I’ll always use Ron Bell and Associates. I deserve the best.

Mr. Bell negotiated a fair settlement in a child support case in a timely manner. He always returned phone calls and his office staff was always helpful. I will use Mr. Bell for estate planning next year.

Mr. bell handled a case for me 3 years ago and did a great job. the state of Illinois made mistakes in filing the order in their system. 3 years later Mr. Bell and his staff were great in contacting the state to have them file the order properly. I would strongly advise you to hire Mr. Bell and his staff when in your in need.

Ronald was very clear in his explanation of the entire process. He was available by cell for any questions I had. This was a difficult situation for me and I felt very supported by him and his entire office staff.
