Ronald R. Fieldstone
Ronald Fieldstone has been a corporate and securities lawyer his whole career and began working on EB-5 cases in 2009 after a friend recommended he get involved. Ronald practices in the Miami, Fla. office of Arnstein & Lehr LLP, a full-service law firm that represents a diverse array of clients, from large corporations to nonprofits and emerging businesses.
His securities background prepared Ronald well for the EB-5 field, and he now represents multiple regional centers and has been involved with more than 70 individual projects. In addition to his work with clients, he is an active speaker and author on a range of EB-5 issues.
For Ronald, the EB-5 program presents an opportunity to learn with each new case. He embraces the exposure to interesting industries, businesses and projects that allow him to discover new locations and get involved with regional centers and developers all over the country. Because of the important Chinese presence in the EB-5 field, Ronald is actively involved with Chinese nationals, be they marketing agents, professionals, or investors that attend his seminars. This allows Ronald to learn a lot about Chinese culture, customs, and business practices— particularly relevant because his recent daughter-in-law is Chinese.
Ronald prides himself on assisting his clients achieve outcomes that are viable from both immigration and business standpoints. He is able to interact with his clients in a businesslike environment, but cutting to the chase and focusing on the most essential components of a project’ s structure. Given his combined legal, real estate and business experience, Ronald is able to help his clients properly structure a deal so that it will actually be successful.

When Genna is not counseling her clients she is surfing
