Ron and his practice was a great help to me in a time when I really did not know what to do he was there and handled everything for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I will use him in the future if I have any issues that would require his expertise.

I've worked with Mr. Ron Sykstus for many years and recently called on his incredible insight and knowledge with help navigating the waters of security clearances within the DoD. As always Mr. Sykstus was a well of information to draw on. I cannot recommend his services enough to anyone working with DoD clearances. Easy to work with, not a "clock watcher", helpful, kind. Every time you speak with Ron you walk away in a better position and better understanding of all things in your case.

Ron Sykstus is a genuine, thoughtful, kind, and overall good person in whom I entrusted my personal business. He has my upmost support, as he keeps the clients affairs private, and genuinely cares about the outcome of the case. I wish him, and his firm all the success in the world.

Mr. Sykstus responded extremely fast in setting up an initial consultation. He was very knowledgeable in figuring out the best solution for a lawsuit that was filed against me. I was terrified of the outcome of losing my security clearance and my job due to the lawsuit. He handled everything and worked to get the case resolved before going to court. He was very kind and courteous in listening to my issue. I recommend him highly to anyone facing a financial lawsuit or with a clearance.

Mr. Sykstus was very receptive and responsive to my needs. He provided step by step instructions after a thorough review of the information and my particular situation. His expertise, in this instance, resulted in a final security clearance being granted. I would highly recommend Mr. Sykstus to assist in the preparation of the security clearance application and subsequently any challenges that may arise throughout the process.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
