Very knowledgeableand patient

Evelina went above and beyond to assist me with both my Mom's conservatorship and her estate. She helped me correct errors I had made and gave me invaluable advice to help me close both files. She gave freely of her time and was very patient with my lack of understanding on some of the issues encount...ered. I am very grateful.

Excellent Attorney, very helpful.

Evelina Ruszkowski is a wonderful Attorney. She has been invaluable to me in dealing with my father's estate. She has guided me through the probate paperwork when assistance was needed. It was very comforting to know I had a someone to turn to with questions. I would highly recommend hiring Attor...ney Ruszkowski for estate/probate cases.

Judy, Thank you for the kind words and I am happy I was able to offer you guidance in your father's estate.

If you are looking for exceptional legal counsel, Evelina is who you're looking for!

Evelina Ruszkowski is by far, an exceptional Attorney. Evelina took on a Probated Estate case with a multiple tier (meaning: it went from Estate to a Trust) for me that was far from easy, and had come from a previous office as well. So right in the middle of chaos, she took this probate case on in fo...rce as if she'd been working on it the entire duration. To state my case came with many challenges is an understatement, and her professionalism and knowledge shined through. Evelina handled this in a timely manner, always keeping me informed as to all of what was transpiring as well as making what was an extremely stressful situation for me, not as stressful, by going far and beyond for me what other attorneys had not previously done. Her charisma and love for what she does is very apparent. Evelina is a go getter! I highly recommend Attorney Ruskowski to any and all I speak to. Evelina is also licensed in more than one state which helped me tremendously. If there is anyone you would want working for you as your Legal Counsel, Evelina is the one! I can't thank her enough.

Kelsey, I'm awestruck by what a wonderful review you've given me. I can't thank you enough for sharing your honest opinion of me as your counsel, and I'm thrilled that I was able to serve you as my client in such a way that would compel you to provide me with such an excellent review. Thank you for speaking high praise of me to your friends and family, and thank you as well for sharing your review with the general public. The support of amazing clients like you is integral to my growth as an attorney. It's been a pleasure to work with you, so please, give me a call anytime if there's ever something else that I can do for you. Sincerely, Evelina M. Ruszkowski
