Ron Makarem’s unparalleled legal expertise and utmost professionalism guided me through an extremely daunting, difficult and emotional litigative process. The results he obtained on my behalf far beyond exceeded my expectations. He was tenacious and determined; a skilled negotiator who would accept nothing but that to which I was clearly entitled. He substituted in for previous, less than competent counsel, and basically saved the day by salvaging my case when it was in the brink of dismissal due to former counsel’s malpractice and malfeasance…

I have been a client for 4 years. This is the hardest working and professional law firm I have had represent me in my 40 years in business. Always available to talk. Great research support. Happy to recommend to any firm large or small as well as individuals. Excellent trial attorneys.

Ron Makarem and his firm handled a very complex legal malpractice suit for my company to an excellent result. Ron is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with (and I have worked with far too many attorneys). Ron is a smart and articulate advocate and easy to work with. I also found it easy and fun to work with all the good people in the Makarem firm — from the receptionist, to the paralegals, to the junior attorneys to Ron himself. It’s really a top notch firm.

Makarem & Associates did an excellent job representing me. I was actually referred to Ron Makarem by another attorney who also helped with my case. Ron’s office took extensive time to understand my case issues, read through all the material, consult with field experts, and advise on various possible outcomes. The Makarem team ultimately prevailed! I have thought of the Makarem office (specifically Ron) many times and was extremely pleased with the outcome…

Ron Makarem and his entire staff of professionals handled a very difficult case for me in the best possible manner. I was very pleased with the terms of the settlement, and he is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He made me feel like I was his only client……an attribute that is certainly rare in his field. I would not hesitate to recommend Ron Makarem to any of my family or friends in the future. He is a rock star in my eyes!!!

Mr. Makarem represented our company in a long and arduous arbitration in an ethics lawsuit against another lawyer. He was up against one of the most notable lawyers in Los Angeles. He won this lawsuit, and we received a very large recovery, exceeding well over one million dollars. It was not an easy case; however, his knowledge of the law was very impressive to us and the judge…
