Great experience. Awesome lawyer.

Mr. Ruskin advised me on what to expect and his plan on how he would handle my case. He made sure that I understood the process and answered any questions or concerns I had. In court Mr. Ruskin fought to make sure that the the weakness of the case was exposed and my rights prevailed. He argued al...l points in my favor. I highly recommend Mr. Ruskin; he's made what could have been a very bad situation into the best possible outcome for me.

ON TOP OF HIS GAME

Mr. Neil Ruskin was excellent and represented our family during difficult times and false accusations that due to his diligence were dismissed. He kept us well informed throughout the case and fought to win. If you want a lawyer that is no nonsense Mr. Ruskin is the best choice hands down.

Coercive. In first 10 mins demands 5 stars

I contacted Mr Ruskin for the first time yesterday, we spoke for about 10 mins, he answered my first question in detail. Then he walk me through avvo reviews while still on the phone, he told me to write a Good review and I'll have him as a friend when I need help. He asked me to call next day to sch...edule a consultation to answer other questions. Before the end of the phone call he insisted on a good review and told me he will check his reviews in 20 mins to see how many stars I gave him. I called him today to schedule an appointment but I was shocked when he expressed his anger over a 4 stars. He told me,"Nobody gives me a 4 stars!" Which sounded threatening. He started blowing my phone up when I didn't agree & ended the call. He also left me voicemail that he was expecting 5 stars. I wanted to hire Mr. Ruskin to represent me but his coercive behavior has compelled me to change my mind. Mr Ruskin you lost a client and also xxxxx Star.
