About Ronald M.
Ronald M. Zakarin has spent more than three decades working in the law. He built a practice that spans multiple jurisdictions and has overseen a small firm for more than a decade. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic. He prefers clear writing and direct advice.
He earned a B.S. from the University of Florida in 1980 and a J.D. from Stetson University College of Law in 1984. Those academic years set the foundation for a career that has moved between state and federal matters. Law school classmates still recall his methodical approach to casework and courtroom preparation.
Zakarin is admitted to practice in the District of Columbia, Florida and New York. Over the years he has handled matters that required an understanding of differing procedural rules and client expectations across those jurisdictions. His work has involved interacting with federal and state courts, counsel in other states, and administrative bodies when necessary.
In 2015 he assumed the role of president and director of the Law Offices of Ronald M. Zakarin, P.A. He has run that office since then. The firm operates as a small, privately held practice. Zakarin manages case strategy, client intake and the day-to-day operations that keep a small office functioning. He balances client work with administrative responsibilities, including billing, file management and supervising support staff.
Clients and peers note that Zakarin brings a practical orientation to legal problems. He favors straightforward negotiation when it makes sense. He also prepares cases for trial when settlement is not an option. His approach tends to be deliberate. He focuses on assessing risk and designing a path that aligns with a client’s objectives.
Outside individual cases, Zakarin has remained engaged in the legal community through routine professional activities. He maintains professional relationships across the three jurisdictions where he is admitted. That network informs how he approaches multi-jurisdictional matters and referrals.
He currently practices at the Law Offices of Ronald M. Zakarin, P.A., handling matters for clients in the District of Columbia, Florida and New York.
