RJS LAW is devoted to advocating for members of our community through charitable giving, philanthropy, and volunteer work. RJS LAW was established in San Diego and its CEO, Ronson J. Shamoun, is a San Diego native. He is a three-time graduate from the University of San Diego (go Toreros!) and is a proud alum and supporter of USD through financial giving, campus representation, and his position as an adjunct professor. Mr. Shamoun has won many awards for his expertise in tax law including the creation of the USD School of Law – RJS LAW Tax Controversy Institute which has received national exposure.

RJS LAW believes diversity in our community is our strength. This is reflected in our diverse staff, clients, and philanthropic events. We are proud to support initiatives all over California that assist individuals of different walks of life, backgrounds, and career paths.

The RJS LAW team is committed to philanthropic work and bettering our community. We believe we are all stronger when we are working together. We care deeply for all businesses and organizations in San Diego, and California at large.

RJS LAW Donates Billboard to the San Diego Girl Scouts

Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. When you’re a Girl Scout, you call the shots

Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.

The secret sauce holding it all together? Joy.
