Five stars for an informative consultation

When someone tells you, “maybe you should consult with a lawyer.” It can make you nervous. That is just how I felt when I was told it may be time to look into a lawyer for help with possible identity theft/fraud. The thoughts that go through your mind can lead you down a rabbit hole and I am so glad ...I happened to come across Mr. Ruskin’s profile on AVVO. There can sometimes be a stigma around lawyers that some lack; compassion, empathy, and understanding for their clients, but not Mr. Ruskin. He is Very compassionate, empathetic, informative and so on and so forth. It is like talking with family and it makes the process much easier to handle. There is no question you can ask, that he can’t answer. He truly cares for his clients and that is very rare now a days. I feel secure now moving forward with this because I know I have someone very skilled in what they do. To make everything more amazing was the free consultation. Thank you so much Mr. Ruskin for everything!

Look no further. He’ll get the job done!

I was worried that I would lose my job offer from a prestigious company because of my background. I spoke with a few lawyers and decided that Neil was the man for the job. I hired him right away. I could tell he was the most knowledgeable, detail oriented, quick witted, and thorough. During his free ...consultation, he put my mind at ease I had no more worries about the outcome of the case or my future. On my court day, he walked around with this aura of confidence, he knew everyone and his presence was respected there. He told me that my case, which was ongoing for six years, would end that day and needless to say, he delivered. He is an exceptional lawyer.

Great lawyer

I was arrested for driving with a suspended license, and I needed a lawyer. I contacted Neil Ruskin and he set up a consultation. Five minutes into the consultation, I knew I wanted this man to represent me in court. Me Ruskin demonstrated a deep knowledge of the NYC criminal justice system which co...uld only come from his years of experience. Moreover, his affability, and sense of humor has an effect of putting you at ease. he is kind and compassionate as well. Very down to earth individual, and straight forward. I would recommend Neil Ruskin to any of my friends and family. His confidence and fighting spirit convinced me that I made the right decision in choosing him as my attorney. Oh, and I might add, the consultation was free!

Consultation

Neil was very straightforward and well educated. He provided me with a free consultation that made me feel much better after. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone because he knows his stuff and doesn’t expect a loss in any case!!! He’s confident in what he does and that is what makes him diff...erent from other lawyers. Will definitely be returning to him if anything else comes up.
