About:

Ronald Nir is an attorney with Law Offices of Ronald Nir, a full-service law firm based in Kew Gardens, New York, representing individuals accused of all manner of criminal offenses in the City of New York, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester County. The practice also handles contract law, civil litigation, family law, commercial and residential real estate, and commercial landlord-tenant matters. Ronald is a recognized criminal defense attorney with over three decades of experience. He has handled high-profile murder cases and appeared on Court TV, NBC, ABC, Fox 5, and radio stations. He is the recipient of the coveted BV Peer Review rating from Martindale Hubbell, an official ranking bestowed by attorneys upon one of their own as a testament of both years of service and legal excellence. Underlying Ronald’s illustrious career and professional accolades is the force that has driven him since he passed the bar in 1987—his genuine affinity for people. “I give 110 percent to all of my clients, and I work very hard to provide them the best legal representation and advice. But it’s not just about being professional; it’s about caring. I care not just about my clients; I care about their families,” he shares. Ronald passed the bar the same year he received his degree from Cardozo School of Law, and immediately joined the Legal Aid Society of New York. Three years later, in 1991, he opened his own practice, where he departed from his legal brethren in his approach to cases, looking beyond the surface. “I think most of my legal peers don’t think outside the box and look at all the corners. It is important to look at all details of the case and client,” he explains. With the Congress of Racial Equality, he has lectured on the treatment of people of color and on what takes place and ways to combat it. He has also lectured on various issues, including fingerprints, Identification, DNA and, Sex Offender Registration.

"Mr. Ronald Nir is exceptional . My Husband and I have known Mr. Nir in practice for over 15 years and counting. His consistent professionalism, performance, and pride that has for representing his clients is exemplary. From the beginning, he stays in tune with his clients, meets you where you are case wise, explains the case and law to you in “layman’s terms”, examine the case and facts with a fine tooth comb, and is very upfront and direct. His practice and years of professionalism shows thru every interaction, whether via phone or person, Mr. Nir, handles and gets the job done. Above and beyond is an understatement. Mr. Nir and his law office respond to all inquiries, never leaving you to assume, or leave you empty without a response or in doubt. Mr. Nir’s team whom also works with him and represents him when he’s unavailable, mirrors the exact same image that Mr. Nir Law Office puts forth. The dedication to their clients is impressive and impeccable. Mr. Nir’s Law Office stands on excellence. Every person and case is treated fairly, with a high regard for not only the law, but with the upmost respect for his clients. What more can you ask from a dedicated, diligent criminal law attorney. Look no where other, you have found your attorney, with the right attitude, and the right knowledge, to help you fight your case with ease. Thank you Mr. Nir, for representing us over the years, and as a client, I will continue to refer everyone to you as we have been doing over the years as the best Criminal Attorney in the Borough of Queens!

"Mr Ronald NIr assisted me for over 2 years on two charges that I was not expecting in my life. However, he made sure that he provided every legal support to keep me at ease and reassured me that everything at the end will be dropped and sealed. As he stated that is what happened on my criminal case. The 2nd case has come to an end with a settlement which I am pleased. He made himself available 24/7. He always provided words of encouragement to keep me at peace. He was recommended by a friend. In dealing with Mr Nir, it is with no doubt, I made the right choice in hiring him to represent me. I am pleased with his legal services and most of all his straight, honest and forwardness to all my questions. Unfortunately, the 2nd case lasted for two years due to reschedule of court date? But the end result is rewarding. I highly recommend Mr Nir for any criminal and family court cases. All the best to Mr Ronald Nir. Keep doing your best in helping those that need your assistance."
