Practice Area

For over thirty years, Ron Folkes has focused his career on personal injury claims and insurance law. He understands the preparation and hard work required to give his clients the best protection of their rights in front of a judge and jury.

Years of representing his clients in court have taught Folkes how to present his arguments and evidence to his clients' best advantage. "The plaintiff has the burden of proof and what you do is try to assemble the proper foundation for that proof." Folkes smoothly coordinates the complex aspects of a successful case, incorporating charts, diagrams, pictures, computer simulations, and specialists to support the claims of his client. He also prepares his clients well for their own testimony in court. "Our rule is three hours of prepartion for every hour of testimony."

Folkes also has a unique and comprehensive understanding of Insurance Law, and since most personal injury claims are against insurance companies, Folkes has the decided advantage when taking this knowledge into an argument for a claim. Folkes has also successfully exercised his expertise in two Court of Appeal cases.
