2 weeks ago I got pulled over for a minor infraction just to find out I had a warrant for my arrest in Trumbull County from 6 yrs ago. It was Friday night and everything was closed! I couldn't for the life of me figure out where these charges stemmed from. The next day, after a night gripped with fear, I decided I'd better at least try calling some law offices and maybe God would lead me to the right one and someone would answer or call me back. The 1st message I left was with Ron Yarwood and he ended up being the only attorney to call me back the very next day on Sunday! I couldn't believe it. I didn't retain him that day because I thought these charges were going to be a mistake and I was trying to save money, but he heard me out and didn't cut me off. The next day I called the magistrates office and the Police Depart, and found out I was facing a Felony. I was sick to my stomach, sitting at work suffering in silence and fighting back tears. I asked for a personal day and went home to search for attorney that I could afford because I didn't have that much money and I was still holding out hope this would just get dismissed. It had been almost 6 years and no crime was actually committed, it was just an attempt to commit an offense. I called tons of attorneys, and if your reading this you'll know what I'm talking about when I say they only cared about the money, not about me. Long story short, I found an attorney(not Yarwood) and things went downhill, fast. He wouldn't listen to me or do any research on the facts I was giving him. He was dismissive of me. At this point, I new I was in trouble and I knew it was time to search for another attorney. It's 8am Monday(3 days ago) on my way to work, leaving msgs yet again. Once again only Yarwood called me back! I told him my charges and what has been happening this far and I had a hearing scheduled this Thursday. He said let's meet today so I took off work(again) and drove to his office. Ron came right down to meet me and led me to the conference room. At this point, I was exhausted, not sleeping and not trusting anyone. Atty Yarwood didn't sugarcoat anything for me and got right to the point. He looked at all the facts and right away went in to what his defenses would be.(thats right, i said defenses, plural!) I tried not talk much because I wanted to hear what he had say and I didn't have time to waste. Immediately, he picked up on crucial details that I had been begging my attorney(at the time) to look at to no avail. Even though I had not hired Ron Yarwood yet, he didn't hold back one bit of what his defenses would be. Atty Yarwood said it is important that we become a team, which resonated with me because I never heard an attorney talk like that before and that we need to trust each other... And that he's not a hand holder lol(which I didn't need)...however, I needed someone who will fight. After an hour meeting, which he never looked at his watch 1 time and I never felt rushed, I knew he was the one. My feelings were that he was honest and became an attorney for all the right reasons, so I googled him immediately. Everything he told me was true. Yesterday morning(8/16) I ran him over a check at 730 am. We talked for another hour and I just expected him to take my money and I'd be on my way. Not Ron, he pulled out a white board and went over exactly how this process would go and went over every possibility of how this could play out. I left feeling great and confident he had my back and I really could trust him. Fast forward 24 hours later...I'm sitting in the courtroom at my preliminary hearing, sick..again. Ron pops in just let me know he's there and he'd come back in shortly. 30 to 45 minutes later he grabs my dad and I and tells us to follow him outside where he tells us the charges are going to be dismissed! What!! Ron came in prepared and ready to go all the way for me. I am so grateful to him and I couldn't wait to write this review! Thank you Ron!!! Call Ron Yarwood!!

Ron did an excellent job for my daughter... I can't say enough good about him. If you or a loved one needs an attorney to take away your legal burdens Ron is the attorney for you he restored my faith in attorney's. If there was a10 star ratings I would give Ron 10 stars!

Attorney Yarwood could not be recommended more highly. He represented me in a DUI case, and the amount that he was able to get the charges reduced was nothing more than a miracle. I knew from the beginning that he genuinely cared about me and the outcome of this case. He worked hard at every step, and made sure I always had all available information and understood all my options from beginning to end.

Attorney Yarwood was a pleasure to work with. He was quick to respond via text message, email, or phone call. He was always through in his explanations and a genuinely nice person. He was able to reduce my penalties significantly and for that I would hire him for any needs moving forward for legal representation. Although, I hope I never have to!

I found Ron through Avvo. He's the lawyer you want. He answers the phone personally, and calls back promptly. He tells it like it is and won't leave you wondering whats going on. Compared to the penalties I was looking at before he worked his magic his fee basically paid for itself.

Would recommend to any family or friends i know. I was hoping he would be able to get my charge reduced, but he was able to get the major one dismissed completely. Based on your circumstances, i can say he will fight for your best possible outcome. You can reach him and he will respond in a timely manner. Very friendly and is very knowledgeable in the field of law. He has a lot of experience. I can't say anything negative.

I had Ron for an assault charge and he was able to get it down to a menacing with some probation and fines at my pre trial which im happy with. He was willing to go further with it but i just wanted it to be done. Super nice guy and fought for me to get it down. Highly recommended.

Mr. Ronald Yarwood exceeded every expectation I had as my defense attorney for a DUI. He made me feel comfortable and was easy to share my personal information with. He always made himself personally available for any questions and advice. I felt as though he was truly interested in solving my problem. His fees for service are far less than what he deserves. I would highly recommend him for your needs.

I was facing a OVI (First Offense) and a felony Improper Handling of a Firearm in a Motor Vehicle. I made a very poor decision one night and it would have ruined my entire life. I called the number for Degenova & Yarwood and Ron Yarwood was the one I spoke with. He was with me at court the very next morning. He explained how serious the situation I was in was and was extremely professional and friendly. I didn't think he was going to be able to do anything at all and I was offered a plea deal that would have still cost me my job. Ultimately, I was given a 3 day course, 2 days in jail and 2 years probation. The felony was reduced down to an M1 misdemeanor. My absolute worst fears were over and now I can continue on with my life. I can't thank him enough. I would highly recommend hiring this guy.

I'm in the furniture business and travel for a living so a clean driving record is important to me. I have a very good driving record (almost 40 yrs). I was exiting the Shops at Boardman Park on a Friday night during a very bad snowstorm. There was a long line a cars entering 224 and I was unable to stop (sliding on the hill into the intersection) The light turned red as I was already in the intersection. A State Trooper pulled me over and seemed quite agitated and could care less about the road conditions and my defense. He proceeded to write me a red light citation which as you know comes with a 2 points moving violation. I found Atty. Yarwood and contacted his office. He called me immediately and I explained to him what happened. He put me at ease and said he can take care of it. My main concern was my travel and responsibilities outside of the area. I was worried about having to be in court but he said he would do everything in his power to represent me in my absence, and that's exactly what he did. During the time that I first contacted him and all through the waiting, he was just a text / phone call away. I really appreciate him keeping me calm through this. Even though it was only a red light, he had to work and negotiate a deal. He got it reduced to no points and a small fine! Highly recommended. Thanks for everything Ron! Tom in Boardman

Mr. Yardwood was nothing but a wonderful professional and acted as if he knew me for years, he was very easy to work with and well worth the cost. He took the worry right out of the process. I was really glad to have him on my side and would suggest him for you. If you have any questions about him that you want me to answer feel free to call me. Thank you Mr. Yarwood again.

I called Mr. yarwood on a saturday at 6pm, and he agreed to meet me on a sunday morning when most others likely would not have. He charges a reasonable fee and I can safely say I got more than my money’s worth. Mr yarwood took his time to walk with me to the courthouse before every meeting and he truly went above and beyond when it came to negotiating my case with the prosecution. He made the best out of a bad situation for me.
