Ron Major a great Cincinnati Accident and Injury Attorney turned 60 today. Although its hard to believe he has reached that age milestone so quickly, its fortunate that now 60 is the new 40. Ron is certainly proof of that.
Ron had many accomplishments as a trial attorney with many great werdicts. Ron tried a case where a young boy was killed after getting off one bus and being struck by another. The defense posed this as a child dart out case and scoffed at Ron. Through hard work and dogged determiation Ron won a verdict for the family. I'm sure Ron would have given up the verdict if he could have brought the young boy back. However Ron provided to the family the only thing a great trial lawyer can do , a measure of justice for the family and some closure for them.
I also had the priviledge of co-counseling with Ron the Bowlng v Heil case that was a landmark decision in its time. This was a virtually unwinnable case, where a young man had placed his body under the a raised dump bed that fell on him when he touched an unguarded actuating device. Ron pulled off one of the best cross examinations of a defense expert that I had ever seen. This surely tipped the scales of justice in favor of a verdict for the widow and five young children.
Those two weeks in trial holed up in a motel in hamilton always bring back great memories.
Ron had many more verdicts in his career that really meant something in people's lives . Unfortunately Ron had a severe heart attack and because of the damage to his heart had to give up trial work. Fortunately Ron has continued to practice law and has turned himself into one of the best private mediators in the Tri-State area.
Ron success in life is not just professional but reaches every aspect of his life. He is a loving husband to his beautiful wife Karen, a great father to his children and a great grandad to his grandchildren. Ron is universally respected and liked by his peers.
Ron attributes are many, his intellect , his dogged preparation, his love of people and his great sense of humour are just a few of the qualities that make Ron tick.
I learned a lot from Ron as a young lawyer and will be forever greatful for how he took me under his wing when I was fresh out of law school. He got me involved in the legal community with some great "young lawyers".
Ron's email address tells yet another side of Ron . (born2ron). Ron has a passion for music that he shares with his friends. Ron loves rock and roll.
So put another song on the juke box baby.
and have a great birthday and many more.
Tony
