Ronnie was born and raised in New York. He has always had a passion for the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Throughout high school, college, and law school he made many trips out west to spend time on the ski slopes. During that time he also discovered a love for business and the law. He attended Cornell University for their excellent business program, and received his Bachelor's of Science in Business Management and Marketing in 1999. While attending Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law he was able to spend a summer at the Central European University where he concentrated his studies on alternative dispute resolution techniques including arbitration, mediation, and negotiation. He received his Juris Doctorate with a concentration in alternative dispute resolution and intellectual property in 2003. With a law degree in hand, Ronnie moved to Colorado to be nearer to the mountains he loves. He was admitted to the Colorado Bar in 2003. Since then, Ronnie has focused his legal career to assist clients in the areas of intellectual property (i.e., copyrights, trademarks, and patents), business, real estate, personal injury and probate law. When Ronnie is not working, he is happily enjoying all the wonderful outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer: skiing, mountain biking, tennis, white water rafting, and four-wheeling.

I’m a litigator and trial advocate at Keating Wagner Polidori Free and I represent businesses and individuals who have been defrauded or injured by someone in a position of trust in business cases. As a commercial litigation attorney, I am passionate about representing people or businesses who are victims of fraud, abuse of power, breach of contract or professional negligence. I have successfully worked on Colorado civil lawsuits with anywhere from two thousand to two billion dollars at stake with each large case being handled as passionately as lower damage cases. I also handle probate disputes and fraudulent transfer cases.

TNS Associates is a firm that was built on the unwavering commitment to obtain superior results for those we have the privilege of representing and at a reasonable cost. You will also find people who genuinely care about you. We are committed to acting on your behalf, representing your interests with passion.

We genuinely care about people. Good people sometimes find themselves in bad circumstances... and legal problems are often the most stressful challenges people face in life! I help navigate through these difficult times. I analyze the legal issues, paying attention to the details, and consider the legal and non-legal implications that come into play as a result of any given legal problem. Figuring out what is really going on and what needs to be done about it. Mark Twain said we should believe nothing that we hear and only half of what we see. The point is, the truth is seldom as simple as it first appears. Unfortunately, there is an art and a science to negotiation and telling your side of the story. But, as we are taught in law school (law professors talking to law students): "A man who represents himself has a fool for a client." The fact is, it just comes across better when someone else tells YOUR story for you. Honestly, I enjoy helping clients figure out what to do and how to present their case so that it gets the best outcome.
