Ron, Laura and the rest of his staff worked tirelessly for almost a year on my father's case. We had seen 2 other firms before giving Ron's a call; in both cases my father had felt uncomfortable with the attempt at representation, and felt he had been counted out before giving his side. Ron Ellis, on the other hand, took the case without anything but my father's account, and believed it, without question. He began mapping the case, before the retainer had even been deposited. Throughout the course of the negotiations, Ron and Laura were a rock for our family. We have mental health issues in our

We had Ron and his team helping us with a criminal charge that was fairly serious. Him and his team were great to work with and we are very happy with the outcome, especially considering the alternative. I would recommend him to anyone needing a good lawyer. You won't be disappointed.

Could not have asked for a better legal representative. I have been in business with Ron and his team on separate occasions. He is amazing at his work, and very professional. He will be there for you in your time of need. Laura has been awesome to work with aswell, both cases with Ron and Laura could not have ended with a better outcome. I STRONGLY recommend them.

Ron is probably the best defence council in the London area. He always answered my questions and respond to my emails, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. He is very intelligent and confident. In fact, he was the only lawyer willing to take on my unique and interesting case. Thankfully the issue was resolved before trial and now I have nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend!

I cannot stress enough how much I highly recommend choosing Melissa Anjema paralegal from Ron Ellis law firm for any Pardon/ record suspension needs. Melissa is excellent! She has a 100% success rate. I first applied for a pardon/record suspension on my own and and was going to be denied. I panicked and decided to seek help with my second chance to appeal. That is when I discovered Ron Elissa law firm and was in contact with Melissa. She was more than happy to take me on as a client. Melissa took great pride in my case. She kept communicating frequently with me. Melissa prepared an excellent letter

From start to finish, Ron, Laura and all the wonderful people working at the firm were extremely professional and dedicated to the case at hand. They were always a phone call or email away from answering my questions or concerns. They always kept me well informed about everything and always reached out in a timely manner in regards to how things were proceeding. They were very clear and transparent about payment options and legal fees. All in all I would highly recommend Ron Ellis Law firm.
