Excellent and knowledgeable lawyer

Today I went with my dad to see Neil Ruskin, Neil was recommended by a friend. We sat with Neil for over two hours. Neil review my brother information on line and explained everything to us. Neil is very kind, sincere and knowledgeable, Neil has a great since of humor and kept us laughing. Neil expla...ined everything to and said he could handle the case. My brother has been in jail for four years because he has mental issues, we plan to hire Neil to go to court on Wednesday and to investigate and come back to us with information. We trust Neil and believe he will do the right thing.

Great, excellent consultation.

Just consulted with Neil. He was very reassuring about my case and how to go about the next steps. It was an excellent consultation and he’s very experienced. Can’t wait to see how things unravel but I’m confident in his ability. He’s a fighter!

BEST LAWYER EVER

Today I found attorney Neil Ruskin on Avvo and called him for an appointment. I went o his office and sat with Neil for almost 2 hours. I discussed a potential criminal matter and wanted the advice of a good criminal lawyer. I discussed the fact that I was contacted by a detective with respect to thi...s situation. Neil was very honest, sincere and kind. Neil spoke to the detective and told me what my rights were. I am very concerned about the situation but thanks to Neil I know my rights and I will not be arrested. Neil said Ican call hom any time if i get nervous, anxiety or upset about the situation. Neil is a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney. I plan to stay in touch with Neil and hopefully I will not need him.
