It is my goal for my clients to know that I have been honest with them, that I have worked hard for them, and that I genuinely care what happens to them and their families.  If I can educate them about the legal process along the way, even better.. Prior to law school, I worked in a medical malpractice, personal injury, and family law office while obtaining my paralegal certification.  Interacting with clients who were going through such a traumatic time in thier lives, both physically and emotionally, motivated me to pick an area of the law where I felt I could actually help people.  I understand that family law is a necessary evil, but with the right guidance and competent representation, the process can be a little less painful.. During law school, I worked in the family law mediation clinic.  I believe every case should at least explore the possibility of reaching an agreement amicably, but if necessary, I have no problem flipping the switch and aggressively advocating for my clients.  I am comfortable in the courtroom and you'll feel confident knowing I have your best interests in mind.. After working as a law clerk at an older, established local law firm in civil litigation defense, I soon realized that the big firm approach was not my style.  You're going to have personalized attention and deal directly with me- not be shifted off to a paralegal or legal assistant.  After graduation and passing the bar, I worked in family law, civil litigation and bankruptcy with my father, who has been practicing almost 40 years.. I then gained valuable experience as a staff attorney for the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee for the next five years.  Even though I appeared on thousands of cases and was the examiner of hundreds of creditor meetings, I missed family law and client interaction, so here I am.. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, travel, watch sports, ride horses, play softball, scuba dive, work on art projects.  Anything else you'd like to know, just ask!

If you (or someone you care about) have been recently in an accident, chances are you are worrying about what you should do next. You may also be feeling angry or frustrated, or wondering if there is a reasonable way out of this mess.. You may be asking, "Can I trust my insurance company to take care of me? How do I deal with the other insurance companies involved? Will I be forced to see the other insurance company's doctor right after the accident? Will my insurance company give me what I deserve for the damage to my car?". As a lawyer who works with injury cases day in and day out, I am becoming more and more concerned that honest, hardworking Americans are being taken advantage of by uncaring insurance companies and even by our legal system. Insurance companies are making a fortune by low balling injured people, asserting frivolous defenses, questioning and denying reasonable medical expenses, stonewalling and other dubious claims practices. The way decent people are being treated by the big insurance companies these days is, frankly, alarming.. My name is Ronald Laba. I am an attorney who has focused on accidents and injuries for almost 30 years. Today,more than ever, I am frustrated about how hard it is for people to get straight answers to their questions during this stressful time.. In my practice I’ve found that many people are frustrated, scared, intimidated and unsure of what to do.  Sometimes people find it hard just to ask for help.  Some may even believe it’s wrong to bring a claim for personal injuries.. I’ve found that once I talk to people about their claim and the legal process, they feel much better and more at ease about the whole process.  After talking with me they understand what’s fair, and they feel good about doing the right thing.. Either on the phone, at your home or office (whichever you prefer) we'll talk about your accident and related injuries and discuss your legal rights or whatever you would like to talk about.. It is my hope that during this interview I can help you:. Remember, you are under no obligation and no one will pressure you!  Nobody likes being pressured.  I certainly don’t like being pressured.  That’s why you must be careful and take the time to make the best decisions possible. You can’t make a good decision if you are being pressured.. My goal is to simply create a place where you feel comfortable talking with an expert about your legal options and answering any questions you may have. I understand that this can be a difficult time! You may not be feeling well because of the pain of your injuries. Stress and tension can make things much worse.. Ronald B. Laba, Esq.. Attorney at Law
