Ron is simply brilliant and devoted to maintaining integrity throughout the case. He is masterful when explaining the case to the judge and was often a reference for the judge in citing case law seeming as if he recalls info as quickly as if clicking with a mouse. He was the consummate professional, always prepared, courteous and timely. His insight and advise was well worth his fees. In fact, because of his quick intellect, prolific writing and experience I believe he does the job in less time than 99% of the attorneys I have worked with in the past, which ultimately saved me a bundle. You won't need luck if you have Ron Cordova on your team.
Ron is the best lawyer I have ever had. He is extremely intelligent with outstanding people skill. He is very knowledgeable and experienced with the law. He has extremely great negotiation and convincing skills. He won my case with the best possible outcome quickly. He handled all the details of the negotiation with superior wisdom. If you want the best result for your case, he is definitely the best attorney to go to. I feel honored to write this review and highly recommend him with no reservation.
Mr Cordova I have known for more than 20 years. He has helped my family when we needed a super hero lawyer to fight for us. If you feel you have insurmountable odds against you, take a breathe and call him. If you are lucky enough to get in to see him. know that you are in the best hands you could possibly be. I have waited in his lobby and have seen the rich and the poor waiting to see him. He and his staff treats everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. This man is lightning in a courtroom and fearless. He is truly amoung the greatest of legal minds. I am not a relative or a friend, I was a client and I have always felt he deserved more recognition.
I made mistakes. I broke the law and knew it. Time was not on my side. I was scared, upset, and had a sense of dread that my life was over. Indeed, my actions were wrong and I knew that. But now was the time to mitigate the damage. I knew I needed help. I received Ron's name and he agreed to see me right away. We discussed strategy and what he thought the next steps would be. He and his team went through the criminal defense process confidently and professionally. Considering the charges and my exposure, I'm exceptionally grateful for his ability to manage the risk and find a fair resolution for all concerned. On the other side of this mess, I am now free to rebuild my life in a meaningful and positive way. I'm exceptionally grateful to Ron and his team.
There's so much to say about Mr. Ron Cordova and his wonderful team (Laurie & Allyson). My legal matters were one of the most difficult experiences of my life, & Mr. Cordova & his team guided me through 100% of the way thru my serious legal situation, & even after it was concluded in the best way possible. Words can't fully express to you the gratitude & satisfaction I've had with Mr. Cordova's amazing legal expertise & diligence to his client's best long-term interest. He has been an amazing help in saving my freedom, my career, & my quality of life. I was in a very frightening situation & Mr. Cordova had an idea of what the outcome should be & he explained to me how he can work to get my legal woes to that result. His great work, along with his legal team's help & support for me, took my legal problem about a year & a half to resolve. My life was basically on hold for the entire time & I had gone thru a ton of emotion, low-level anxiety because of the nature of this kind of lonely & long, personal, individual stress. I was totally humbled by what I was going thru, lost a lot of friends, got ostracized by a bunch of fake friends, & only a few true blue loved ones held out for me and kept me in their prayers. Despite the trouble I put myself in, I prevailed by the grace of God & the instrument that He used to get me thru the storm: Mr. Cordova & his legal team, Allyson and Laurie. A million "thank yous" go from heart to them. Before hiring Mr. Cordova, I was facing 2-3 felonies, hate crimes charges, & racial and civil rights charges by the time I was looking for a lawyer to help save me! By the end of my case, none of those charges stuck, thanks God's mercy on me and on Mr. Cordova's legal work in my behalf for over a year fighting for me!!! I thank God for answering my prayers & allowing me to meet this man & blessing me with the reasonable amount of money I needed to hire Mr. Cordova. How I got the $ necessary to meet Mr. Cordova's retainer fees was another miracle in itself. Anyhow, to shorten this and alay any fears, I would highly suggest that you follow your spirit when thinking about who you should hire when it comes to needing the best defense attorney to take on your legal battles. I have absolutely NO doubt that Mr. Ron Cordova will get you the best result humanly possible & will be the best advocate & legal counselor to your life-altering situation. I did careful research on trying to find an attorney that could give me a sense of how he would fight & defend, & protect my stupid ass, & Mr. Cordova really helped to save me from ruining my life, career, & future. To Mr. Cordova: I am supremely grateful that you fought in my behalf EVERY step of the way. You've been such an amazing help and person in my life. I want you to know that I have the highest respect, appreciation, admiration, and gratitude for you and your work. You're a very wonderful person, and are so kind and compassionate and real. Thank you for being there for me in that low point in my life throughout that year & a half or so that my legal case was dragged out for. Emotionally, I was in a tough place because I had to keep battling away the fear that tried to creep up in my mind almost constantly & snatch my soul. You were & are a tremendous person & amazing lawyer! You have so much kindness, sincerity, & compassion to help those that seek you out. My life would be in a terrible place if I hadn't met you and been allowed to have you as legal defense representation. You are truly the best. -B.P.
I called Mr. Cordova's office in January 2018. At the time I had an attorney out of Temecula who has been on the case for 8 months and proved to be unfit. Mr. Cordova took the time to speak with me on the phone. He accepted the case. From day one he knew how to to resolve the case. Mr. Cordova knew the law and knew how the DA works. Mr. Cordova's always respond to inquiry in a timely manner. The result: the case which I was simply dragged in it unfairly ended as Infraction. I am deeply grateful to Ron Cordova for his assistance.
I have had many circumstantial and out of the ordinary issues since the beginning of my case. Mr. Cordova was exceptionally quick to personally respond. He had taken the effort to review my case and provide guidance with barely (if) any additional explanation needed on my part. From CA. to FL. and well beyond the standard M-F/8-5, Mr. Cordova's dedication has no boundaries. He had the facts, was direct, and most honest to providing me my options moving forward. I would highly highly highly recommend this attorney to anyone requiring the best. Contact Saved as "Ron Cordova - #1 Attorney". Thank-You Sir.
44 years of experience should say it all, and it shows. Ron was not only available and efficient with our time together. He was personable and thoughtful in my case. He not only had both charges removed.He was able to navigate through the legal system at an impressive rate. It is true what he states and I was first hand witness to this, sometimes good people do find themselves in bad situations and Ron is here to give you a second chance. I would Highly recommend Ron as your attorney.
In 2015 I found myself in a great deal of trouble for the first time in my life. I hired Ron Cordova through a referral from another attorney who I had known for years. I was facing 4 years in state prison and the DA didn't seem to want to budge. I seriously thought that my life was over. Ron immediately jumped on the case with much professionalism. When I first stepped into his office, I noticed multiple State of CA "Super Attorney" awards on the wall that really helped ease my mind. Of course, I was very scared through out the entire process, But knowing I had Ron Cordova on my side I just knew I would get the best deal possible. I remember almost breaking down after one of my court dates and Ron gave me assurance that things would be OK. I believed him. In the end I was sentenced only 6 months in County jail, which is an extreme difference from 4 years in state prison. I also only received 3 years probation which was downgraded from 5 years. I couldn't be happier with the results. To make things even better, I also may get house arrest which I am currently in the process of applying for. Considering my situation, the price was quite affordable and worth every single penny. I owe this man (Ron Cordova) my life. The relief I feel now that this will all soon be behind me is un-explainable with words. I highly recommend hiring Ron Cordova if you are ever in really bad trouble.
