In law school, Ron received numerous honors, including being named to the editorial board of the South Carolina Law Review, receiving the Order of the Coif, and being named to the distinguished Order of Wig and Robe. After law school, Ron started his career practicing in the law firm of State Senator Isadore Lourie. Ron then practiced as a partner in the boutique litigation firm Bower Orr L.L.P. He most recently served as special counsel in the Columbia office of Nexsen Pruet LLC.

Ron and his good friend David Proffitt founded Proffitt & Cox, LLP in 2009 so that they could bring cases that they believe in and help people most in need of trusted legal counsel.
