Ron Sikes has been practicing law in Florida for over forty-three years and is honored to hold the coveted “Av” rating from the Martindale Hubbell Law Directory (the highest peer-review rating available).
Ron was born in Orlando, Florida, in 1952 and raised there and on the Space Coast in Titusville, Florida. He graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. He received his law degree from Stetson University’s College of Law in 1977.
Ron’s career has provided a broad range of experience. While handling varied matters, he has demonstrated an affinity for an interesting mix of construction and commercial transactions and litigation and family law, with a mix of real estate law and estate planning. After ten years of private practice, he joined the Legal Department of the Walt Disney World Company in 1987 where he dealt with construction contracting issues and dispute resolution. Success with Disney led him to an opportunity to serve as Director and Vice-President of Legal and Business Affairs at Universal Orlando from 1988 through the beginning of 2001. With Universal, Ron was the leader of a large Legal Department through which he managed several billion dollars’ worth of construction contracting and day-to-day operating issues.
Having returned to private practice in 2001, Ron initially focused his attention on business law and legal matters relating to the construction industry. However, that revealed the need for a business-minded attorney to address the financial and emotional needs of clients going through divorce. The response to his plain-spoken and always focused approach to resolving marital disputes has been extremely gratifying.
Having managed multi-million dollar annual budgets, Ron appreciates the expense associated with the hiring of a lawyer. He recognizes the importance of identifying results-oriented strategies. He also works to maintain the cost-effective execution of the case plans established with his clients.
A key element of Ron’s approach is his affinity for dispute resolution. While always prepared to take a matter to trial, he seeks resolution of disputes through mediation or arbitration whenever expedient and in the best interests of his clients. He is trained as a Civil Mediator and has served as a mediator and arbitrator in numerous cases.
