Review for Mr Ed Ruffo

In July 2012 my mother was diagnosed was a rare cancer. After consultations with a surgeon, she decided to go ahead with a noninvasive surgery to prolong her life and to ensure her quality of life. January 2013, after the surgery, my mother was left paralyzed from the waist down and had to be in a di...aper. Although my moms cancer was rare, she was a young vibrate woman of 62, able to drive and be self sufficant. As a family we consulated & hired Mr Ruffo. My mother was left unable to care for herself and he was prepared to fight for what she needed. Because the errors that gone wrong during her procedure, she was unable to continue her regular course of cancer treatment. She passed away a month later. Mr Ruffo continued to fight for my mother. From the time my family hired Mr. Ruffo until the settlement, he treated this case with kindness and the upmost compassion. We are very grateful for the settlement we received. The monies will go towards all her grandchildren's education, just how she would have wanted.

An All-Star Lawyer

I’d spoken to several lawyers who weren’t interested in my case before Mr. Ruffo was recommended to me. He is the pinnacle of professionalism in his field. In the past I had heard people talk about lawyers who didn’t return their communication and who couldn’t remember the details of their case. M...r. Ruffo is exactly the opposite. He was meticulous in responding immediately to my many, many e-mails, and was astounding in his ability to recall even the most minute details of my case. Under the very upsetting situation of a malpractice case, his demeanor was always calming and empathetic. When the circumstances of the case seemed unlikely to warrant a positive outcome, he was able to negotiate a great settlement. I was very satisfied with the result, and would highly recommend Mr. Ruffo without hesitation.

Posted by Elizabeth Moran | September 13, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Medical Malpractice

Edward Ruffo the only attorney to see for Medical Malpractice!!

Mr. Ruffo is a knowledge attorney, with years of experience. You can be assured that he has your best interest in mind at all times; he takes the time to discuss all options with his client. I can personally attest to the fact he is attentive and sympathetic to your needs, but more importantly ...understands without a shadow of a doubt all the complexities that go into a medical malpractice case. He will get you the results you need! He is honest about the process, timeline, trial, settlement etc. Do not hesitate to hire this attorney. I will forever be grateful to him and his firm for their hard work and dedication to myself and my family;after an ordeal that could only be described as a nightmare.
