Personable and very professional

I was charged for doing graffiti and the charges were exaggerated. I was extremely confused as to why I received certain charges. I was denied my police report by the precinct. When I asked about why I was charged with certain things they said not to worry about it and that the charges will be bumped... down. I found this to be very peculiar and frustrating. I was treated like an absolute child. I was recommended Neil by a friend. Neil was incredibly professional and firm with dealing with my consultation. He put me at ease with the disgrace I have been dealt with. He gave a lot of good advice—you can clearly tell he knows what he is doing. He was very firm with helping me beat my case. All in all I recommend Neil, I had a very good experience with the consultation.

Truly working for you as soon as he speaks.

I was charged for “making graffiti”. The police added anything they could to my charges to put me in a difficult situation. The anxiety I felt was tremendous because my employer immediately found out and it has dealt a blow to my life. I went to Neil for a consultation. Calling Neil he put a lot of t...hings into perspective and kept me from spiraling mentally, especially since I felt so attacked by the law. He really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable especially with stating facts. He knows exactly what he is doing and his professional manner is truly set in stone from so much experience. Neil is very straightforward when discussing your case and he is here to fight for you. The anxiety that I felt has been lifted and the advice he has given me has tremendously helped. Thank you Neil!

Spectacular

I called Neil Ruskin this morning to discuss a potential criminal matter. Neil got back to me within minutes. Neil is a knowledgeable straight shooter. He told me what to expect and what to do if the shoe drops. He told me what to do if the police call me. He told me not talk to the police or make an...y incriminating statements. It is obvious that Neil's 49 years of experience makes him a superstar. I am happy I found Neil on Avvo and pray I don't have to hire him. Neil told me he is available 24/7.

Excellent attorney

My uncle and I went to see him for consultation. He welcomed us and explained thoroughly step by step what he is going to do. He was very anxious to help my uncle with the problem. He is very intelligent. I would recommend him to anyone who needs criminal attorney. HE IS GREAT!!! Thank you in advanc...e, Neil.

Wonderful

I called up Neil Ruskin. I spoke to Neil Ruskin 2 years ago about my son’s issue. Today I called Neil because my son’s was at a precinct. Neil lawyer and advisor. Neil told me exactly what to do and explained everything. Neil is very responsive and the best there is. Neil’s advice is priceless.
