Ron grew up in Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia before completing his undergraduate degree at Virginia Tech. Thereafter he moved to North Carolina to attend Campbell Law. Ron was initially mentored by Attorneys George Mast & Brad Schulz when he was a Summer Associate with the Firm. After graduating from Campbell Law cum laude in 2006, he became an associate with the firm. To gain a broad experience, he initially oversaw a broad spectrum of cases including criminal, domestic, disability, injury, and other matters. In 2009 Ron became a Partner at the Firm.

Over the years he has trimmed his practice back to areas that he enjoys most.
The three primary areas that he assists helping families today include:
1) Wills, Estates, Probate & Guardianships;
2) Automobile accidents and other injuries due to the fault of another; &
3) General civil disputes & litigation: whether it be with neighbors, contractors, or the like.

Ron detests bullies: whether that be a slack insurance adjuster, a threatening neighbor/HOA, a jack-leg contractor, or anybody that hurts a pet. He has been successful at negotiating buybacks of homes by negligent builders/developers as well as handling frivolous cases by arrogant neighbors & the alike. Ron also currently represents a large chain of automobile dealerships in the southeast of the US.

Ron has been involved in several jury trials, both at the District and Superior Court level and has successfully managed several appeals. He will be upfront and realistic about the potential outcome as well as the costs of engaging in litigation. He will listen, analyze your situation, and give you your options. In the event Ron or the Firm is unable to assist you with your matter, Ron should be able to refer you to a colleague. Additionally, outside of the legal field, Ron has built numerous relationships with experts that may be able to help you, whether you’re in need of a trusted general contractor, plumber, electrician, painter, plumber, HVAC tech, etc.

On a personal note, Ron has been through a divorce and has been fortunate enough to remarry Casey whom he knew for years prior to her coming to work for the Firm. Casey is not only Ron’s wife but also his paralegal; she is his and his clients’ biggest asset.

Ron and Casey have three children and a zoo of pets. They have recently completed a renovation of their new home. When Ron is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, going to their place at Indian Beach, attending Virginia Tech games and streaming movies.
