Ronald Steven Nir

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.

Q. I was detained at target for petit larceny and was given a desk appearance what are the consequences?

April 3, 2018

A: A desk appearance ticket is a paper that states you will return on a date and time to be charged with the criminal offense, in your case, petit larceny. The case will then progress from there. Good luck!

Q. How do I find out the status of a felony charge in Manhatten?

April 3, 2018

A: If you have been absent and failed to go to court there could be a warrant for your arrest. You should contact your public defender as to the status or in NYC you can also check your information online through the webcrims search. Good luck!

Q. A cop keep threatening me with a warrant, but never did it. is he Lying about getting one?

April 3, 2018

A: This is a ruse perpetrated by police in New York and elsewhere. The only warrant is from a judge and is not likely under your circumstances. Sounds like the officer wants you to come in so he can place you under arrest. If thats the case get an attorney; never go in alone - and if you do say nothing except your name, address, height, weight and other personal information, and state explicitly that you will not talk without an attorney being present.
