Excellent Attorney

My review for Daniel Ruggiero is that he was so so very helpful to myself and my husband when we were scammed by a Law firm that was going to help us with a Loan Modification with our Mortgage. David not only was there to help but because of what happened to us he has not and said he would not charg...e us a dime. I do recommend him very highly.

blue collar man finds the right lawyer

I purchased a used 7 yr old sports car with 15,000 miles on it . It was my dream car that turned out to be my worst nightmare. The check engine light came on 9 times within the first 60 days .The dealer was unable to correct the problem and refused to take the car back . After 7 months of trying ...other means of seeking help , I decided to seek a attorney. I was lucky enough to find Daniel Ruggiero . He reviewed my documents, timeline , phone call/conversations etc and took on my case . I've been buying cars for the past 30 yrs and never had an issue like this and didn't know what to expect . Dan Ruggiero worked this case for 16 months and was able to get the dealer to repurchase the car! I can't say enough about this attorney and all the hard work he did. I would refer friends , family and anyone else that needs an attorney to this law firm . Thanks Dan !

Lemon Law Lawyer

I had a big problem with my Dodge Caliber. The dealership that we purchased it from would not help us to resolve the issues I had with my car. We found Daniel on line and contacted him. Boy, what a great choice I made! Their secretary was great also. He fought nail and tooth for me and finally got a ...settlement with in two months. He was wonderful and very polite and helpful. He would call and let me know what was going on and give us suggestions never pushing us for a disscision that he wanted always what I wanted. Daniel, I applaude you!

Attorney Ruggiero advised me wisely and in great detail when I approached my dealer about violating the Used Vehicle Warranty Law. When my dealer relinquished and reimbursed me for the cost of the vehicle, Attorney Ruggiero and his staff thanked me for contacting them and told me no charge.

Would recommend Dan Ruggiero in a heartbeat!

My husband and I have a Chevy Malibu that started giving us trouble a few months after we bought it. The car would either start and then not even make it down the driveway or at times...not even start at all. My son found Dan's name for me as he works in a car parts place and we were completely satis...fied with both Dan himself and his knowledgeable staff. From the moment we spoke, he seemed genuinely interested in helping out and would either e mail or call us often to keep us up to date. Even though the case coincided with the impending bankruptcy of General Motors, Dan was still able to procure a settlement for us. He is certainly the lawyer that we would not hestitate to recommend both for his knowledge and personal touch. Thank you Dan.

I am, to say the least, extremely impressed with Dan's knowledge of the law, and I would certainly recommend his services without hesitation. A true professional indeed."
