Probation early discharge

I had a great consultation with Neil Steven Ruskin and was very down to earth letting me know exactly what I need to get an early discharge from probation. His 40+ years of experience was very helpful

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.

EXCELLENT LAWYER!!!!!!!!!

Today I went to see attorney Neil Ruskin. I called Neil yesterday and made the appointment for today. I went to see Neil to discuss getting my vehicle back from the NYPD. My vehicle was ceased yesterday without any explanation from the police. I was told my vehicle was used in a crime. I have to cal...l a detective to find out what’s going on. Neil explained my rights, what to do and how to do it. I don’t know why my vehicle was ceased but hopefully I am able to get it back as soon as possible. I plan to go see the detective tomorrow to find out when I can get my vehicle released. Neil is very knowledgeable and explained the law to me. Neil is very sincere, kind and honest. This was a free consultation and greatly appreciated.
