“This is who you want on your side in a Federal Courtroom.”

Ron has secured victory at all levels of courts for his clients facing federal criminal investigations and charges. He secured the reversal of a conviction before the United States Supreme Court in Naum v. United States. This includes one of the nation's largest health care fraud acquittals, a $450 million acquittal in United States v. Bothra. Over the last decade, Ron’s ability to present a case to a jury has led to an unprecedented record of Federal acquittals, dismissals, and non-prosecution decisions. He acquitted a prominent neuropsychiatrist of the death of two patients; he acquitted a Cleveland Clinic interventional pain physician of the alleged unlawful distribution of millions of pills. You will not find an attorney with similar results in jury trials.
