The Lawyer I want on my side !!!!!

Hi, Neil has represented my family and friends for 9 Year's. What I would like to share is that no matter what type of case you present to him, he will try his best to help you. He has been in business for many year and knowledgeable about the law. But also doesn't have a problem referring you to ...someone if he feels he can't help you, and that's what I admire about him.

Excellent Lawyer

If you need an excellent defense lawyer, Neil Ruskin is definitely one of the best. He is very sharp, patient and professional. I had tough cases and he did an amazing job with all of them. He kept me out of jail and didn't stop until he delivered the best possible outcome. His efforts are sincere a...nd Neil does everything he can for his clients, inside and outside the courtroom. I'm very fortunate that I had such a fantastic lawyer. I have and will continue to highly recommend Neil Ruskin; he is simply that good.

Unprofessional

Very rude & insensitive towards me as I consulted with him about the sexual assault & physical assault I endured as a child. He told me there’s nothing for me to sue over as my assailant is not a Rockefeller. Disregarding the fact that all I’m seeking is accountability & justice.

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.
