Top Notch Criminal Defense Attorney - Would recommend to my family!

Mr. Ruffini helped me in a very critical point of my life. I had just found out I was going through a divorce and well, quite frankly, was upset at it. I said somethings to my wife, which could have been, and actually were construed in a very bad way. I was arrested in Richmond and New York counti...es on Felonies. Mr. Ruffini went on the offensive and reached out to both ADA's assigned to each case. In a week of marathon phone calls, he negotiated a deal for me which got me absolutley no jail, no probabtion, the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and a fine. Most importantly he walked me through this very troubling time right next to me. He is a top notch attorney that I would recommend to my Mother if she needed a lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
