Best lawyer in New York!

After speaking with nearly a dozen lawyers, I stumbled upon Neil Ruskin. Upon reading his reviews, I was a bit blown away by the reviews and testimonials he has received over his FOUR decade long career in law. I gave Neil a call and within minutes I realized his confidence, not only in my case, but ...in general, was something worth investing in. Neil assured me he would take of me and my case, promising a dismissal of the charges if I were to comply with his very simple instructions. I was in awe, every other lawyer I had consulted with told me to be wary of my case. How could every other lawyer be so on edge, yet Neil was boosting in confidence and comedic relief? I'll tell you why...experience! Neil not only fulfilled his promise but also worked with me on my budget, far exceeding my expectations. Neil Ruskin is hands down the best lawyer and only lawyer I hope to ever have to use again! Thank you Neil!

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!

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!
