I didn't even make it into the office. He put me off right away he talked over me was very rushed. And it sounded like he was calling me from his car. Not that that is an issue. I understand lawyers are very busy. However this man told me 15k for 1 day of court. Court hours are an 8 hour work day maybe less depending. He charges 400 an hour. His math was way off 3200 if he's in court all day and only on our case. With a retainer of 5k which is normal. I dont care how good you are. Your not worth that much.for those reading reviews. Also look at his responses. He's rude. He's almost childish in replies. Dear sir. Please be kinder to potential clients. Had you had an ounce of patience and was willing to listen and not talk over me and be so inconsiderate we would be having an in-person meeting. Your cost didn't phase me. The way you talked the way you interrupted the way you conducted yourself was my deciding factor. And for future reference. Check your math too. You made yourself look foolish Update in your response. Rambling about irrelevant stuff. Funny you think that. When much of the information wasn't even the beginning.that was no consult that was a joke. I'm aware of the prep work gone into an actual case. Your statement should have been clear. Again this isn't about the money. Yiu are rude and pretty unprofessional. Especially the way you interrupted. If you call that a consult I would again recommend a better approach.

We hired Ron in April for our Mobility case. My husband and I are military, and we got hit with a posting out of the province, we share 3 kids with my husbands ex wife. Our youngest two (11 and 5) wanted to relocate with us while our oldest (13) wanted to stay with their mother. We knew it was in our children’s best interests to move with us but we had to prove it and while all the odds were stacked against us, Ron helped us and guided us and fought for us and our kids. He got us in for an emergency hearing and worked tirelessly on our case. He laid everything out, he was honest and open about our chances and he provided us with the best advise. He was always available to us, no matter the time. He worked with us, and he showed compassion, empathy and guidance. He actually cared about us and our children. Not only did he win the case for us, we got everything we were asking for. He was incredible at trial. On point, quick and efficient. He didn’t let anything get passed him. He knew the law inside and out and was able to apply it to the court with ease. He truly shined at trial. Without him I don’t think the outcome would of been the same. We shopped around for a lawyer and went with Ron because of his experience, reputation, honesty and skills. He might not wear socks in his shoes but he’s one hell of a lawyer! 10/10 I would recommend hiring him for any of your family law matters. Thank you Ron. Truly, thank you.

Ron was our lawyer for our family relocation case. I Have three kids and 2 wanted to relocate with us. I am with the CAF and Ron has an excellent understanding of what needs to be done in an extremally short amount of time when it comes to postings. When first meeting Ron he may not look like the usual lawyer that you would see in a law firm but rest assured once you see him in court you will know that his skills and knowledge are above par. His ability to understand his clients and fight for them at trial is incredible, he knew the law, he applied the law, and he showed the judge how it truly is in our kids best interests to come with us and be in our primary care. Ron hit it home in his closing statements and won the case for us. He was always upfront with us about our odds and was always honest with us. Ron lives up to his reputation of being one of the top lawyers in Edmonton. We were lucky to have him representing us. I would not want to be on the opposing side on one of Ron's cases. Without Ron I don't think our case would of gone the way that it did, he honestly is the best family lawyer I have ever worked with or witnessed in Court. Even with a narcissistic ex, Ron was un wavered and was able to see through all the bull s*it, call it out and show it to the court. Thank you Ron for providing my kids with the future they deserve. If your looking for a Lawyer, stop looking now and HIRE RON BILLINGSLEY.

Although Ron is not currently my counsel, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a "no-nonsense" lawyer who doesn't beat around the bush. He is direct and does not sugar coat anything. This was the exact type of character that I would want to represent me in a courtroom. I was naïve when I first started this entire process. Ron helped me to understand many facets of family law and offered me valuable advice, although we were parting ways. His assistant, Natalie also gave me information that I did not have and she helped me realize how much I was entitled to under the law in my circumstances. He even managed to earn the respect of my father, which isn't always the easiest thing to do.... I would use him again if I found the need for representation. He gave me his opinion on what I should do in my ongoing battle in the courts and offered some free advice, we left on good terms and parted friends. I have no doubt Ron Billingsley will have a long and successful practice in family law, I wish him and Natalie the best of luck and success. I am positive they will help many other people who find themselves overwhelmed and uninformed , as I was, in unpleasant dealings with the legal system and family law matters.

I hired Ron in September ‘20. I first consulted with him based on his reviews, and hired him based on his upfront, no nonsense attitude. It was apparent immediately that I was in good hands with Ron. He worked hard to protect my and my daughter’s best interests, and it was wonderful to sit back, relax, and know that everything was being taken care of by an experienced lawyer. Ron was aggressive when he needed to be with the opposing party, and he was confident, knowledgeable, and well-spoken in court. Ron is extremely upfront about his costs, and tended to bill every month or two. While my own custody matter was in-depth and costly, I feel I was billed fairly given the sheer volume of materials submitted by the other party, as well as the time sunk due to the other party’s inexperience as a self-represented litigant. I would absolutely recommend Ron’s services to anyone in need of a family lawyer, especially if dealing with a bullying/manipulative/narcissistic ex-partner. Ron was very clear from the beginning about what kind of result I could expect, and what I got was what he foresaw from the start. My daughter and I are very happy with the way things turned out! Thank you, Ron.

I found Ron through researching reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. The first time I talked to him on the phone he gave me a long list of information and papers I would need to collect and bring to him for our first in-person visit. I was impressed and appreciated that greatly, it saved me a lot of hassle, time and money. Right from the start it was a very “facts only” appointment which I also thought was pretty impressive as well because we were able to cover a huge amount of work in the first hour, rather than chit chatting and wasting time. In the weeks leading up to court Ron was always available and answered any questions that I had very promptly. Ron was able to negotiate with an extremely difficult, arrogant opposing party like it was a breeze. Ron does not back down. Not only did Ron ensure that my children were safe but he also negotiated child support that I did not expect. I was clearly emotional in court and he took the time and concern to make sure that I was alright. I will definitely be hiring Ron again for another matter and I fully and completely recommend Ron.

Ron represented me in a custody case in which I successfully obtained 50/50 custody for my child. The case was challenging and emotionally charged as my child was withheld by her mother, forcing me to hire a lawyer and pursue court action. Ron worked diligently on this case from the onset. He was extremely quick to complete paperwork, get a court date and move forward with court action, ensuring that I had my 50/50 and moving me into a position to fight for primary custody. Ron is aggressive, fair, hardworking, and able to utilize his professional skills to get the best possible outcome in the courtroom. Ron is straightforward and honest. He communicates options realistically and will work hard to ensure that his client is exceptionally represented both in front of the judge, and during out of court process with opposing council. Ron bills fairly for his time, and is also conscientious of his client's budget. I am very pleased with Ron as a lawyer and highly recommend him.

I believe that Ron Billingsley is an outstanding lawyer. Not only is he professional but he actually cares about his clients. He helped my friend deal with a very difficult, nasty and painful divorce by always returning phone calls and making time to explain every application set before the court by my friend's ex. (and there were many applications) Ron had a strong presence in the courtroom and made sure that my friend's intentions and needs were heard. This case turned out to be a very long process and Ron was there the entire time encouraging my friend and going above and beyond to be helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Ron understood that this was an extremely emotional time for my friend and was sympathetic to that...never rushing due to time limits. Ron Billingsley is a wonderful lawyer, who is fair and honest. I can't thank him enough for what he has managed to accomplish for my friend. May God bless him always.

I would highly recommend Mr. Ron Billingsley Jr for your legal needs. Mr. Billingsley asks for his money upfront, which at first I thought was different, but when I saw how quickly and efficiently he worked on my case, he is worth every penny! With 5 other lawyers in fancy offices turning me down because the case was to complicated or taking weeks and sometimes months to respond.....Mr. Billingsley professionalism is a pleasant surprise. We haven't been to court yet, but after 13 yrs of being in and out of courts against my ex husband I feel my family will have the best chance of being successful with our case with Ron representing us. Update: I ended up representing myself after paying a lot of money... the part of the case he didnt want too touch was the only part I won in court... I would not recommend him.

I would highly recommend hiring Ron for any family law concerns. I hired Ron back in August of 2020 regarding a child support matter. Although, the process took much longer than anticipated due to the other party. Ron kept me level headed and assured me to stay the course, in the end I was awarded an appropriate amount of support for my child. Ron was completely upfront from the beginning and did not sugar coat anything ; he outlined the possible outcomes regarding my case and was as eager as I to move forward with the case. Thanks to Ron's knowledge, confidence and well spoken manner in court my daughter is now being provided for financially. I could not thank Ron enough for his guidance throughout this process. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

After dealing with 2 previous lawyers, that couldn't move things forward, Ron turned into a savior. At first, it might seem odd that he works out his home. But his professionalism out-weighs the money that is being wasted on a large firm, in a downtown high-rise. Ron was able to push through settlement on my divorce case and allow me to finally move on with my life. If you are looking for someone that can deliver results, value for dollar, and treat you like a human being, don't waste your time and money on anyone else. I wish I had started with Ron, but was under the impression that the high-priced, large firm lawyers, would be worth the cost, which they are not. Thank you for everything you did, to close this file.

Worst lawyer ever , my fiance hired him believing on his words of he is a Bull lawyer to handle a case of Child support, overall repetitive but true He is very unprofessional, rude , meeting you in his house with heavy smoke odor , does not do anything other that "emails" back and forth tends to intimidate you by asking for more money in order to proceed with the case, lost in the case , always making the same notes and charge you again, PLEASE if you care about your case and money , DO NOT HIRE HIM , I wouldn't place this complaint if everything I just said was not the thruth. P.S. Ron Billingsley I do not care if you are reading this , because at the end this is exactly how you handle your "Lawyer profession"

My Son retained Ron as a lawyer in September when my son's girlfriend left with their 6 week old baby girl and withheld access from my son. Ron was awesome in how he took action right away letting us know everything he needed from us to get a court order in place. Our court date was in October and my son got 50/50 custody as well as the same for parenting time! We were extremely happy with how things turned out. His lawyer fees were very reasonable and we even got some of our retainer back after everything was said and done. We would highly recommend Ron as a family lawyer and won't hesitate to hire him again in the future if the need should arise. Thanks again Ron!

I highly recommend Ron as a family/divorce lawyer! He definitely lives up to his reputation as one of the best family lawyers in Edmonton. He has been there 100 percent for me in my fight against my bullies this past year. It was nice to have someone fight for me for once. He is someone you defiantly want on your side. He’s tough, passionate, very knowledgeable, quick-witted, & came prepared. He got me $73,740 in child support arrears. My children remain in my care full time. It worked out better than I imagined. I’m extremely happy with Ron, & words can’t even describe how grateful I am for him. I would hire him back again. Thank you Ron!

My husband has very difficult case about children custody. We also live overseas that makes the process even more difficult. My husband had very law chances to win the case. Ron was the only lawyer who not only agreed to take this challenging case but also provided excellent service. He educated us about the process. Ron was always accessible. It was easy to communicate with him inspite on time difference. Always very professional and supportive. We had the first hearing. There was a lot positive decisions taken. It is not over yet but i believe that our case is in good hands.

Ron is amazing. I told him i was completly lost and i knew nothing about the process and my rights. I had hired another lawyer that told me nothing and made me anxious Ron took care of it all for me made me feel more at ease in a very stressful time. I have a daughter that i was allowed to see very little he helped me get way better custody of her and secured my 2 oldest sons with 50% custody. he is direct and to the point and i apreciate that. Definetly glad i called and hired Ron. Great man amazing lawyer. Were still in the process but im glad Ron is with me

After a drawn out court case, Ron kept me focused on the goal at hand and what was attainable. Fathers don’t have a good track record within the court system getting anything in their favour, I was awarded primary, so I have only positive comments to give in a process that was brutal to say the least. I would highly recommend Ron and his vast knowledge of the family court system, and his no nonsense approach to an end result that I am more than happy with. I would not hesitate to utilize Ron’s expertise in the future to represent myself if needed. Rory A

Ron is driven, focused, relentless, knows the system and can turn on his pugnacious traits in court in a snap. He is very aware of his time and costs, and tries to do as much as he can in his allotted time. Ron knows family law well and is very much in his element. He prepared diligently for court and presented a strong case. I really appreciate how responsive and accessible Ron was working with me. Having someone attentive and available is exactly what I was looking for.

He doesn't respect clients enough making me feel like like we are there as a bothersome fly on the wall. I get that they as lawyers charge for everything, but when you first meet them and tell them details that are personal to you, they like a dr, should read your file before you enter into their office and expect them to act in such a way that you can understand them. It's called meeting the client's needs. Not everyone shows their disabilities out for the world to see.

Durring a difficult custody case involving covert abuse and high conflict. Ron has always had the best interests of me and my children at heart. He will not waste time on things that wont help and he is honest and upfront about the situation. Ron and Natalie have been wonderful and are awsome at keeping me calm and focused. Together we are focusing on the children and have succeeded in litigation to ensure the best interests. I am grateful to have them on my team.

I regret not meeting Ron before wasting my time and money with two previous lawyers I had and did little for me. If you have a difficult divorce with a bulling ex-spouse, Ron is the professional to hire! He is knowledgeable, efficient and aggressive when necessary. He was ready to do the best for me in court; however , I appreciate his capacity to listen and understand my decision of not going to court. I will hire Ron if I need a family lawyer in the future.

Ron has been an excellent lawyer throughout my divorce process. He is very down to earth and gets to the point quickly resolving issues in a timely matter. I appreciate the respect and empathy he has displayed throughout this very difficult stressful experience. He has a passion and commitment to his work that is difficult to find in the previous lawyers I have dealt with. I would highly recommend hiring him for any family /divorce law conflicts.

I was lucky to have Ron Billingsley as my lawyer with an extremely hostile party. Ron was fair with his pricing and also the billing time. All contracts were put together in a timely manner and if I had questions he was always there with the answer. He helped make the situation a lot better. I would recommend Ron Billingsley to everyone as he is passionate about his profession as well as his clients.

I am thankful to Ron for winning my court case few days ago. It was amazing. Ron helped me to restore my visitation rights with my 4 years old son whom I was not able to see for over 4 months also COVID-19 made it worse. Now I got my overnight stay and more visitation and holidays which I never thought possible. Excellent lawyer, I highly recommend him. Thank you for standing up for Father's Rights.

I feel very proud I found Mr Ron who is in the form of god, on earth, an excellent and professional lawyer. He has handled my case very well regarding my child support and my divorce process. I got my house back. He is a very good heart and sincere person. I highly recommend everyone to hire a lawyer like Mr Ron S. Billingsley. Believe me you won't lose with him.

I would never recommend this man as a lawyer in any situation you have. He is screwing over my mother with her case right this moment and all the money she has payed him was possibly all directed to the s*** that he is probably on! Never hire him in any situation as he is useless and will drag out your case for as long as he can for the money!

Ron has been a great help and offered proper guidance to be fair and to put the children first. He has given me the legal support to get through the ups and downs and always given me the choice but also to not be taken advantage of. He has worked with me on monetary issues and has been patient. I highly recommend Ron as a Family Lawyer!

Mr Billingsley was instrumental in having success in dealing with child support and custody issues in court. He was very knowledeable and quick to deal with my concerns. He will definitely go to bat for you and your rights! I have had him represent me twice and will continue to in the future. I highly recommend him.

Ron is awesome. My boyfriend hired him for a custody situation and he was awesome. I had experienced this court situation before with my bestfriends children and boy do I wish we had Ron. He got 50/50 custody of his kids for him and continues to make sure everything is going as it should. 10/10 recommend Ron.

Ron Billingsley took on a challenging case for my family. He acted on our behalf at a handful of court appearances including an appeal to the Court of Appeal of Alberta. He was easy to communicate with and very upfront with his billing practices. We would recommend him for any family-related legal services.

Ron was exceptional in an emergency situation and I would highly recommend him as a lawyer. He goes above and beyond to help your case and doesn't take flak from narcissists or bullies. Ron is extremely devoted to his clients and works extremely hard to ensure that justice prevails.

Ron was an amazing lawyer, he was extremely professional in court but relatable and realistic in person. He helped me win custody of both my boys, I couldn't have asked for more. There is a reason he is rated one of the best lawyers in the city and he is well worth the money.

Ron is great at his job he fights for Father's rights and his knowledge is awesome the best lawyer I have had . He calls back or email in a timely fashion and tells you how it is and what to expect so there is no surprises .thanks Ron for all your hard work

I apologize for my previous review, there was a misunderstanding on my part. Ronald contacted me today and was absolutely awesome to talk to about my legal matter. I would definitely hire him for future matters.

I am thankful for Ron for helping me know my Rights as a Father and helping me keep my Daughter safe While im in court away from the abuse sje had endured at Mom's Thank you for standing uo for Father's Right's

Completely rude and got ignorant because of what my question was like omg won’t ever refer this place to anyone l even people I don’t like can’t believe how rude he was over the phone !! …

Ron worked hard to help me get more time with my daughter against a very hostile ex a legal council. He was very professional and knew the law well. I highly recommend Ron.

Very good family lawyer, responds fast and gets the job done! Wont take attitude from anyone and will defend you ! Highly recommend him !!

Ron handled my uncontested divorce in a very timely, professional and cost effective manner. Highly recommended!

There are far more professional and honest lawyers out there that will care about your best interests.

You have to Question a guy who has to write himself the only raving review. Run while you still can.

Ron was very quick to respond. He closed an agreement swiftly in a very favorable manner.

Knowledgeable, quick to response, and a reasonably priced lawyer.

Very unprofessional !

This guy is a joke.

Decent

Idk
