Amazing should be an understatement!

I called trying to obtain counsel for my brother, that’s currently incarcerated. I was flabbergasted when he answered his office number at 6:00 pm. He’s well experienced and very respected in his field. Yet, he’s working while other lawyers are going home around this time. I didn’t need any scheduled... appointment for a consultation, I got one right there. He was very knowledgeable about the case my brother is currently fighting. He elaborated on every aspect of the crime he was being accused of. Unfortunately, he couldn't handle the case as it’s in another state, but I will recommend him to my family and friends if they are ever arrested. He’s a very positive and optimistic person. His energy was at 100 even this late in the day. I called other lawyers and felt perturbed but felt the complete opposite with Esq. Ruskin.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Ruskin was contacted in regards to police investigation concerning a theft. He gave thoughtful and intuitive recommendations on how to approach the situation. He helped me handle it very well. He instructed me on how to interact with the police to prevent and detrimental outcomes. He has been a t...rusted lawyer with my family for years. He is the first person we contact upon any trouble and he is always immediately available.

Great , competent , experienced lawyer

I came to Mr Neil Ruskin for a major problem I unexpectedly ran into this past summer . Of course being my first time in trouble with the law , I was worried , scared and vulnerable. In the midst of frantically finding a lawyer , I stumbled upon Neil called him and did a consultation. Since hiring h...im , I never regretted it since . Such a funny , personable person but , also very knowledgeable about the law . He assured me that everything will work out for the best . I was facing major felony charges initially but , the outcome was much better and I can finally make this a thing of the past and a lesson learned . Neil fought hard !
