For over 30 years, clients have sought out Ron’s counsel in shepherding them through complex legal problems. Client focused and ethically creative, Ron looks for and finds solutions to the toughest problems. In those instances where an adversary refuses to avoid conflict, Ron’s philosophy is that he is the client’s sword and shield, and was taught as a young practitioner to “never stop swinging.” Thus, Ron acts with relentless and unyielding vigor in pursuing his clients’ interests and in vindicating their rights.

Ron heads the firm’s Constitutional/Civil Rights law, Employment Law, and Commercial Litigation sections. Ron’s focused determination has resulted in victorious trial and appellate outcomes, and in successful resolutions of hundreds of cases in federal and state courts. Ron also is deeply committed to vindicating his clients’ constitutional rights. Stemming from a family background where his grandfather risked everything to escape a Communist dictatorship in the 1940s so that he and his family could be free, Ron has an abiding desire to honor his grandfather’s legacy and to see that in our constitutional republic, every American remains free and our nation’s civil society thrives and grows.

Ask Ron about the Declaration of Independence, the Civil War, or issues related to the fall of Communism in the 1990s, and you will find that he is fully engaged in our nation’s history of promoting and advancing individual liberty both within its borders, and by inspiring those around the globe to seek and gain their own freedom under seemingly impossible circumstances. Ron has had several writings published on the topics of constitutional and national history, and brings his fierce passion for individual liberty to his legal work on behalf of those whose freedom and constitutional rights are jeopardized by overreaching government and private actors.

Ron is licensed to practice law in New Jersey, New York, and Kentucky. He sometimes also practices nationally in conjunction with local attorneys and has appeared as lead attorney in various other states. Ron also is admitted to the Bars of United States Supreme Court, several United States Courts of Appeal, and in numerous United States District Courts. Ron has also been a lecturer and moderator of Continuing Legal Education seminar panels, educating other attorneys on topics including Constitutional and Legal Issues Arising from the Covid-19 Pandemic, and Winning Strategies in Contract Dispute Litigation, and has frequently been interviewed on television, podcasts, and for news organizations. Ron is also a very proud father of his children.
