Ron is the attorney you want. His knowledge of the law is outstanding. When I was losing hope with a previous attorney who had thankfully stepped down, Ron was appointed to me. I was losing hope until Ron explained everything to me and my entire case turned around. My desired outcome became reality. I couldn’t have done it without him. He is very responsive via email and explanative. He gets right to the point. A million thank you’s wouldn’t be enough to Ron. He got me back my purpose in life and for that I am forever grateful to him. Ron is the attorney you want representing you.

I had called Mr McGaw re: a Landlord/Tenant issue, and although he was not able to officially represent me on the matter, he was generous enough to spend considerable time on the phone helping me understand what I would need to do in order to resolve my problem.

Made me feel very comfortable to hire him with his level of experience. He did everything in his power to get me out of a tough situation. I would definitely recommend his services to any family or friend..

He did an excellent job with my case. Worth every penny. Makes your issue his issue and makes it a priority to get the job done.

Mr. McGaw is calm, composed and extremely knowledgeable. He explained everything precisely so that I always knew what was going on. He was easy to get a hold of on the phone, prompt for court appearances and always responded to my emails. The one thing would have liked to see more of is passion for "winning the case", although he might have helped me to be more "realistic" with my expectations, sometimes you just want to "feel" like your lawyer is going to kick butt and take names. That being said, we did "WIN THE CASE" and although Mr. McGaw was a court appointed attorney, I never felt like I got any less from him than I would have as a self pay client. I would highly recommend him to anyone for family court matters.

Ronald McGaw was referred to me by a friend. The day I called Mr. McGaw about my case he immediately made me feel confident and built a trust. Anytime I had any questions and emailed Mr. McGaw, he always answered in a timely manor! I am so pleased with all he had done for my case! I highly recommend Mr. McGaw!

Mr. McGaw is a very honest and professional attorney. First when I met with him, I said to myself "here we go, another man in a suit who will not understand my situation". He proved me wrong. He has the experience and the patience that was needed to advocate on my behalf. I don't have full custody of my children, but I have them on a week on /week off basis. I came from having my children only every other weekend. In family court as a man, I think that is impressive. If I were to go to family court in the future I would like for Mr. McGaw to represent my family.

I am so grateful to have been able to have Mr. McGaw as my attorney. He takes the time to explain things and answer any questions with great patience. In my case, he was able to see through phony accusations against me, and took care of business and had the case dismissed. An excellent attorney, he's sharp and smart, as good as they come. I highly recommend Mr. Mcgaw for any legal issue anyone may have. Thank you Mr. McGaw!
