Whether it is a small personal matter or a larger corporate dispute, Ron and the legal team at Chicken Law are ready to help.

A graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law, Ron served as an editor on the Journal of Intellectual Property Law and was a member of several of Georgia Law’s Moot Court teams.
