Wonderful lawyer

My brother was being harassed by a detective. The Detective was going to my brother's home and place of business. the detective told my brother that he wanted to speak to him. My brother refused to speak to the detective. My brother became concerned and told me. My boss, a lawyer, recommended Nei...l Ruskin, a criminal attorney. We went to visit Neil Ruskin after making an appointment. Neil Ruskin picked up the phone and called the detective and read him the riot act. he told the detective that my brother is not coming to see him and to stop harassing him about something he knew nothing about. The detective insisted that my brother come to his office with Neil Ruskin. Neil told the detective that we were not coming and left it at that. My brother has not heard form the detective and is confident that he won't. Neil Ruskin refused to accept a fee and was happy to resolve the matter. Neil is an excellent, professional and knowledgable attorney

Professionally handled second DUI case

It was very evident that upon first contact with Neil Ruskin that he has been in business and practicing law in New York for quite a while now. He was friendly and funny, honest and forthright, compassionate, affordable, and above all, he fought hard in my favor. I was facing eight charges, but Neil ...assured me not to worry. Come the day of the trial, I could tell that Neil knew his way around the local courthouse. In the end, I wound up only pleading to a violation. Had I not hired Mr. Ruskin, or Neil as he asked me to call him, this case could have ended extremely worse. Now I feel like I can breathe again and move on with my life. Thanks Neil!

Amazing!

One word - Amazing! I recently had the police leave a note at my door asking to contact them. I immediately called Mr. Ruskin for consulting. Mr. Ruskin called the police on my behalf and filled me in on the situation. I was being accused of something that is particularly embarrassing but felt no jud...gement at all on Mr. Ruskin's part. When I went into his office for a consultation, he spoke to me for over an hour and really put me at ease. He explained all my options and how to move forward. All of this for no fee! My anxiety was through the roof, but Mr. Ruskin pretty much doubled as a therapist for me. I feel so much better about my situation after consulting with Mr. Ruskin and I was able to achieve the best possible outcome as a result. Thank you for everything!!

The Best Attorney that New York has to Offer.

First & foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Ruskin on a job well done. He did an excellent job on my case. Everything that Neil said would happen, happened. With that being said, I highly recommend Attorney Ruskin to anyone with legal matters in the areas listed in his profile. His excellence is ev...ident in his vast knowledge of various aspects of law, his affordable rates which won't break your bank, and his humility. He's very attentive to case as well. His presence is felt as he is basically know by just about every in the courtroom. Once again, Mr. Neil Ruskin, esq. is an excellent attorney, and I would highly recommend him to your case. Tim
