I was in serious trouble for the first time in my life. I was facing a felony charge of DUI with injuries and high BAC. I knew I needed a special lawyer, so I asked a friend with more experience hiring lawyers for help. He asked several of his own lawyers who they would recommend. Ron Brower was the one lawyer that the other lawyers recommended. It is hard to state just how grateful I am for the representation I received from Mr. Brower. Both he and his paralegal, Ellie Pulliam, took care of everything. I was informed every step of the way. I felt that they truly cared about my case and were always available to answer any question I had. Despite the unbelievable stress of my situation, it was comforting to know I was in such good hands. Mr. Brower was able to work with the D.A. on my case and reduce the charges from felony DUI (which included jail) to a straightforward DUI. I honestly do not believe another lawyer would have been able to do that for me. I am forever grateful to Mr. Brower. He is a uniquely gifted lawyer that other lawyers recommend. I highly recommend his services.

My son was facing a very serious case and had contacted a couple of Orange County area attorneys. Neither attorney inspired confidence. A friend of mine recommended I call Ron Brower. After the first meeting with Ron I knew he was an exceptional attorney with decades of experience, and I retained him for my son’s case. Ron’s assistant attorney Salvatore Ciulla, also very experienced, guided my son through the legal proceedings with compassion and legal skill. Ron’s patience and timing during the process was impressive and the result was the best of all possible outcomes! I highly recommend Ronald Brower as an outstanding defense attorney.

Ron Brower has made me the happiest mom on the planet!! We hired him in October to handle a case against my son. He was really there for us! Him and his staff were always there for us and guided us through this crazy legal process with great humanity and care! Ellie, his para-legal, was my angel and always checked in with us and made sure we were always aware of next steps and just there to listen! Well today we got word that the case was dropped by the DA and we are beyond elated! Anytime the law is knocking on your door a good lawyer is a must but having Ron and his staff was a must and more!! Thank you to my friend, an attorney, for recommending him!!

I needed an attorney in the OC area that could attempt a plea vacation for a 25 year old case. Not an easy feat. After getting a couple affordable quotes from more recently graduated attorney's, I got the feeling it was a waste of time and money. One young attorney even gave me a 50/50 chance. Which was probably accurate because it was going to depend on who was working that day, what kind of mood they were in, etc. This did not inspire confidence. At that point I asked a friend who's mother is an att in the area to recommend one of the top criminal lawyers and that is how I got Att Ron Browe's name. From the beginning, I had confidence that he was the person that could get the job done. His quote was higher and we had to pay all up-front but I would rather pay more to get a desirable outcome than risk throwing away money on poor odds. He is a busy man and though I would have liked things to move faster, he used the proper finesse and timing to get the case heard and dismissed with plea vacation. For our family this made all the difference in the world. I am very grateful to him and Elie for their experience, knowledge and attention to our case. thank you!

We had an incredibly difficult issue and hired a terrible lawyer who actually screamed at me to give him more money! My friend remembered hearing rave reviews about Ron Brower. He was a godsend! Very professional, yet kind, and extremely patient at explaining everything we needed to know. His rate was extremely fair and has gone above and beyond. He always does what he says, including calling when he says he will call. His assistant Ellie, is every bit as wonderful. Always encouraging and helping us to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He has changed my feelings about lawyers and I would recommend him to anyone.

Ron Brower is hands down the very Best Criminal Attorney in town. He is so good at understanding others, communicating directly, keeping his client informed and updated throughout the legal process. Mr. Brower is not only the best criminal attorney but his entire office staff are all so kind and very professional. I really like Mr. Brower's assistant Ellie, as she is someone you will also be in contact and working with. They are the best in the game hands down. He is honest, forthright and has a very even temperament. Look no further, Mr. Brower is the only consideration if you are in need of a Criminal Attorney in the area.

I have been in business 50 years and as President of my firm, I have had to hire a lot of attorneys as a normal course of business. I retained Mr. Brower, based on a strong referral from a local former Judge- as I was called on as a witness in a very complicated. and intense legal matter. The opposing side was quite intense, obstructive, hostile and threatening. Mr. Brower was not only extraordinarily and incredibly experienced in his 40 or so many years in his field, but displayed the most comfort and ease to me that he had the matter go away in what seemed like a flash to me. The opposing side wanted no part of me after seeing my representation from Mr. Brower. Until today, I have never seen such integrity, honesty, courtesy and more brilliance from a truly skilled attorney who knows his profession more so than Mr. Ronald G. Brower. Mr. Brower cut right through my legal court problem like a laser beam. He quickly ended what could have been a painful expensive experience- over nothing. Whereas other attornies may have dragged the case on just to churn a dollar while I agonized. Yes, I certainly would recommend Mr. Brower to anyone. I am just so pleased and I am not easy to please. I am usually baffled and abused by about every expensive attorney I have been involved with and their brilliant stories, that are just stories as they fake it till they, might make it has been my true and painful experiences I can list. All at my risk and my dime. Mr. Brower is painless, brilliant, caring and successful. You cannot go wrong. I know what I speak of.

I was looking at a second strike with enhancements and went through several attorneys. It was my previous attorney that said, "I am referring you to Mr. Brower because he has the connections that I don't have." Mr. Brower plead my case and helped in attaining a 16 month sentence instead of 12 years minimum. He is an honest man with great integrity and knows the law. I am honored to know him and grateful for his help and kindness. He is the only person I would recommend if your in criminal legal trouble. May God bless all that he does and the lives he saves.
