Overview
Ronald (“Ron”) Dwyer is an attorney in Becker’s Construction Law & Litigation Practice, where he represents real estate owners, developers, community associations, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, and suppliers in complex construction disputes. Drawing on both legal training and hands-on construction industry experience, Ron helps clients navigate claims involving private and public projects through litigation, arbitration, mediation, and strategic pre-suit resolution. His practice is focused in Florida and New York.
Ron is known for a pragmatic, business-minded approach that prioritizes efficient, cost-effective results. He works closely with clients to understand their objectives, assess risk, and develop practical strategies designed to achieve favorable outcomes while minimizing unnecessary expense and disruption. His background as a construction project manager gives him a practical understanding of project delivery, field operations, and the commercial realities that often drive construction disputes.
Before joining Becker, Ron practiced in the Construction Practice Group of a New York-based law firm, where he represented clients in sophisticated disputes across the construction industry. That experience strengthened his ability to evaluate construction claims from both legal and practical perspectives and to advocate effectively in matters involving complex project records, technical issues, and competing business interests. While in law school, he worked with the Robert W. Entenmann Veterans Law Clinic, providing legal aid to veterans seeking disability benefits and discharge upgrades. His work earned him the Veterans Law Clinic Award for excellence in advocacy. He also interned for the Honorable Frederic Block of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Ron earned his J.D. from the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University, where he was active in the Federal Bar Association and Dispute Resolution Society. He received his B.A. in Economics from Fairfield University. Before law school, Ron worked as a project manager for a prominent New York City construction company, leading teams on large-scale public construction projects. That experience gives him first-hand insight into project administration, scheduling pressures, coordination challenges, and the practical realities that often shape construction disputes.
Ron is admitted to practice in Florida, New York, and the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York.
