Recently we have shown that a one-parameter scaling, T-coh, describes the physical behavior of several heavy fermions in a region of their phase diagram. In this paper we fully characterize this region, obtaining the uniform susceptibility, the resistivity and the specific heat in terms of the coherence temperature T-coh.(.) This allows for an explicit evaluation of the Wilson and the Kadowaki-Woods ratios in this regime. These quantities turn out to be independent of the distance \delta\ to the quantum critical point (QCP). The theory of the one-parameter scaling corresponds to a local interacting model. Although spatial correlations are irrelevant in this case, time fluctuations are critically correlated as a consequence of the quantum character of the transition.
