Ron is a partner at Wechsler Becker, LLP. He received his BA degree from UW in 1969 and his JD from Willamette University College of Law in 1972. He was admitted to the Washington Bar in 1972; went to Alaska and was admitted there in 1973. He practiced in Juneau and Anchorage until returning to this area in 1976. He was in private practice in Bellevue and then worked at Boeing from 1980 through 1992, when he returned to private practice. Family Law has always been a major part of his practice and, since joining this firm, has thrived on focusing almost entirely on this area. He also enjoys acting as mediator or arbitrator and is currently expanding that area of his practice. "At Wechsler Becker, we take pride in providing the highest quality legal advice and work product for our clients. The major reasons for my pursuing a career in law include helping people and engaging in work that involves a variety of issues and disciplines. Practicing Family Law, especially the complex and high-conflict cases our firm handles, provides excellent opportunities to achieve those objectives every day."
