Ron Naditch has decades of experience successfully handling disputes in the areas of family law (prenuptial agreement, divorce, alimony, domestic violence, and all children related issues), automobile accidents, criminal law, and general civil law.
Ron is a graduate of Dickinson College and University of Maryland Law School (with honors), where he served as an Assistant Editor of the Maryland Law Review and finished in the top 10 percent of his day school class. After law school, he served as a law clerk for The Honorable C. Ferdinand Sybert, a judge on the Maryland Court of Appeals. He then served a tour of duty in the United States Coast Guard before going into private practice as an associate of Goodman and Bloom in Annapolis, a position he held for one year.
For more than 25 years thereafter, while Ron was developing his private practice, he served under five States Attorneys as a part-time Senior Assistant State’s Attorney in Anne Arundel County. In this capacity he specialized in handling murders, rapes, robberies, and other major felony cases and was the go to person in cases involving insanity pleas until he retired in 1993.
During his legal career, Ron has represented the Anne Arundel County Department of Social Services; he has been a member of the Maryland Attorney Grievance Review Board; and he has been recognized by Martindale Hubbell (a publication that rates lawyers based upon responses from their peers) as an “AV” rated attorney since the mid-1970s. He also has the highest attorney rating from AVVO. In 1993, the judges of the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court appointed him as part-time Master/Examiner and he participated as a hearing officer for the Court in 5000-7000 cases over a period of 25 years before the elimination of that position in 2018.
At this stage of his practice, a great deal of Ron’s time is spent conducting mediations for people who have family law issues. It has been his experience, after more than 25 years as a mediator, that nearly all family law issues can be resolved in this non-adversarial procedure. Mediation is far less expensive than litigation and, with the assistance of a trained mediator, can allow couples to dissolve their marriages and determine how to fairly resolve all child related issues, as well as issues relating to fair and appropriate monetary adjustment with regard to their property and/or to adjust their differences in income. The balance of his time is spent representing clients in contested family law cases in Anne Arundel, Queen Anne and Talbot Counties.
Ron considers family law to be a unique legal area and that it is in the best interest of the divorcing parties and their children if they seek to mediate solutions to their problems, as opposed to allowing the courts to mandate decisions about their lives, the lives of their children, and their financial assets. A divorce should not be about winners, losers, and results that end in scorched earth. Peaceful solutions to divorces inures to the benefit of all parties. An attorney should act as a problem solver, neither accelerating nor aggravating what is often a stormy situation. Ron’s approach is to say to his clients when they come into his office, “Let’s sit down, discuss, mediate, and resolve the issues, instead of letting a person in a black robe make a decision about you and your family.”
According to Ron, “I think of myself as a problem solver, not a troublemaker, in family law cases. But if trouble arises or problems cannot be resolved without limitation, I have the experience to handle any type of case.”
