About Ron

Attorney Ron Sholes is the founding member and managing attorney of The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A., a veteran-led personal injury firm he established in 2003. Born and raised in a blue-collar family in Northern Illinois, Ron learned the values of integrity, grit, and hard work from his father, a steelworker. Those same principles guide his approach to law and leadership today. At just 17, Ron joined the U.S. Navy, beginning a decade of active-duty service marked by courage, discipline, and dedication. During his military career, he served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the Bosnian Conflict, and multiple Counter-Narcotics Operations throughout the Southern Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. His distinguished service earned him several honors, including the National Defense Service Medal, Southwest Asia Service Medal, Kuwaiti Liberation Medal, and multiple Navy/Marine Corps Achievement Medals. Ron remains deeply connected to the veteran community as a life member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). While stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Ron began his higher education journey at Florida Community College of Jacksonville, earning his Associate of Arts degree before completing his undergraduate studies at Southern Illinois University. Following his military service, Ron attended the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctorate. Today, Ron is admitted to practice in all Florida State Courts and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. With more than 20 years of experience in personal injury law, he has built a reputation for fighting relentlessly for the injured and holding big insurance companies accountable. Under Ron’s leadership, the firm operates on a simple but powerful principle: treat every client like family. He ensures every client receives direct access to their attorney - including his own personal cell phone number - because communication, compassion, and commitment are the foundation of every case. Ron takes pride in building a firm that stands for more than results - it stands for people. From car, truck, and motorcycle accidents to serious injury and wrongful death claims, his team fights to secure maximum compensation while delivering the personalized service clients deserve. A proud veteran, attorney, and advocate, Ron Sholes continues to lead with the same discipline and integrity he learned in uniform - proving every day that when he says “You Hurt? We Fight!” - he means it.
