Highest Praise for Neil Ruskin!

Neil Ruskin is a lawyer with a take-no-prisoners confidence who will fight with you until the end. I hired Neil Ruskin after being charged with a misdemeanor. The public defender I was originally assigned mentioned that it may be best to take a plea but because I knew how serious any criminal convict...ion could be for my future. (even a misdemeanor!) I am so glad that I did because Neil Ruskin followed through and I received the absolute best possible outcome! From the beginning, Neil Ruskin assured me that I could trust him with this case and he certainly delivered. If you need a lawyer who will FIGHT for you, hire Neil Ruskin!

Professionalism at its best

Correction on the name of the post I made earlier. I want to make sure that this reviews is clear about hiring the right lawyer so I was certain to write the review twice for clarity. Neil Steven Ruskin is a great lawyer. I recommended him to everyone for his timely and reliant services. He was ...very informative and helpful with my boyfriend’s criminal case. He went above and beyond to help us and he is very professional. You won’t go wrong if you choose him.

Excellent

I called Neil because I was worried with no direction on how to handle some serious allegations.He was very direct, thorough and no nonsense type of lawyer.He walked me through what needed to be done and I am very confident with how he handles things and will get the results needed.

Great human, Amazing Lawyer!

We contacted Neil after a friend referred us for a criminal case my brother was involved in. Unfortunately my brother has been working with a public defender and we called Neil out of desperation as he was not getting his right to proper attention to defense for his case. We called Neil with the basi...c information we had and Neil took out his valuable time free of charge to explain things to us. Neil is a Brooklyn bread down to earth guy. My anxiety was through the roof before I called him. He spoke to me calmly and knew the right questions to ask. He spoke of my brother as a human and not as just another “criminal”. He understood that this person is someone loved. We haven’t hired Neil yet however even without a retainer or any formal sign on he has offered to help us with this case. I feel like there may be some help for our case after 2 years of inconsistency and limbo. Neil has put my mind and heart at some ease. I look forward to working with him!
