Ron Graziano has been an attorney in the Southern New Jersey area for nearly fifty years. He attended Rutgers-Camden Law School earning a Doctor Jurisprudence degree in 1973. While at Rutgers, Ron received the “Corpus Juris Secundum Award for “Most Significant Contribution to Overall Legal Scholarship” at the law school. He was also appointed Associate Editor of the Rutgers-Camden Law Journal. In September 1973 Ron accepted a position as judicial clerk with Mitchell H.Cohen, at that time the Chief Judge of the New Jersey Federal System. The federal courthouse in Camden now bears Judge Cohen’s name.
When his clerkship term ended Ron Graziano began his litigation career in 1974 as an associate with the law firm of Tomar, Parks, Seliger, Simonoff & Adourian. By 1979 Ron had become a partner and became the firm’s managing partner in 1990. He held that position for ten years during which time the firm grew to over sixty lawyers. All the while Ron maintained his litigation practice taking ever more complicated cases to trial. In fact, Ron was a certified trial attorney for over 25 years. In 2003 Ron began the law firm of Ronald A. Graziano, A Professional Corporation which has since become Graziano & Flynn. Ron is proud of the highest possible ranking provided to him by his peers for integrity and legal ability.*
During the early 1980’s Ron began a career of public service while still practicing law. He was elected as a Councilman in Mount Laurel Township serving as Deputy Mayor and ultimately as Mayor. During this period he also served on the Township Planning Board.
Ron’s public service interests and community involvement have not been entirely political. He has served as the Chancellor of the Rutgers-Camden Law School Alumni Association, as a member of the Board of Directors for Camden Regional Legal Services, as an Executive Committee member of the New Jersey Association of Trial Lawyers of America and as a member of the Merit Selection Panel for the United States District Court of the District of New Jersey.
Ron’s community work has also included the youth of his community. For seven years he served as a baseball coach. For two of those years he was the director of a baseball program that involved nearly seventy coaches, forty teams and five hundred youngsters.
For nearly a decade Ron has taught seminars for other lawyers on various legal topics under the auspices of the Institute for Continuing Legal Education and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA). As part of those seminars, he has published monographs on topics ranging from products liability to business litigation. Ron has also been published in the New Jersey Family Law Reporter and has produced a guide to New Jersey alimony law. Actually, Ron’s legal publishing career began in law school when he published a case comment entitled “Constitutional Law-School Desegregation.”
Although born in New York, Ron has been a resident of the South Jersey area since 1970. He is admitted to the bar of the United States Supreme Court as well as the Third Circuit Courts of Appeal. He has argued before the New Jersey Supreme Court and several of his cases have resulted in published opinions by Appellate Courts. One particular case was selected as one of the 70 most important family law cases in the last 73 years by the statewide family law publication..

“I felt respected by her always keeping me informed and encouraged” - Real Client Reviews
Best Lawyer Around!
Ron surpassed my expectations in my case. He always kept me in the loop, updated me with any change, and answered ALL of my questions.. And I had a ton! He was very knowledgable, honest, supportive, and calm. I was nervous every step of the way and he listened to each and every one of my concerns. He was always available by phone and email; He responded very promptly to every email I sent (I sent a ton!). Ron is an extremely trustworthy lawyer. Listen to what he says and have faith in him, you will be as impressed as I am! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better outcome in my case. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to represent me, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing lawyer!! His staff is amazing as well!!
I am a Father and my daughter wanted to live with me and attend school closer to my home (I wanted to enroll her into private school) so that would mean I would need to become the primary parent of residence. I thought it would be impossible to get that changed because I also have a career as a firefighter so my work schedule rotates and its 24 hour shifts. I contacted Robyn and she was upfront and honest provided me with possible outcomes. Robyn was outstanding! She had to do the work of two attorneys because the defendants’ attorney would not submit paperwork to the court in a timely manner and that would’ve slowed the process. The case went to trial and having the experienced attorney really showed! I am now the primary parent of residence my daughter and I couldn’t be happier. She always answered my calls, emails and was on time. Both parents were found to be fit by the judge yet a change of custody was still granted in my favor.
I couldn’t be more pleased with my attorney Ron Graziano, when it came down to understanding and knowing his area of expertise there is no doubt that this Law Firm is everything plus that. Ron was very easy to talk with and clearly knew how to approach my case. I went to court for a child support/custody situation and it could not have worked out more satisfying for me if i had not had the Graziano & Flynn firm representing me in the most professional and knowledgeable way possible. I did not have to speak with the Judge not one time, i was represented absolutely well by my attorney Ron, he’s the best and i will continue to use him, if need be; Thank you so much.
