Super incredible

Today I went to see Neil Ruskin my Attorney to discuss my serious felony assault case. I am not worried because I know that Neil would do a great job. Neil explains everything so that I can understand what's going on. Neil has been handling this case for 2 months now and I am confident that he wi...ll fight and win for me. Neil goes to court and is respected by everybody. Neil is going to keep fighting for me. Neil is a winner.

One of the greatest defense attorney in the City

Neil Ruskin is hands down one of the finest legal minds that I've met. I went to Neil for a consultation and had all my questions answered in a clear and concise way. Neil Ruskin is straight forward, and the years of his experience shows in the way he handles cases. I will definitely work with Neil a...gain, and I recommend Neil Ruskin to anyone that needs a defense attorney.

The Finest Lawyer

Today I went to see Neil Ruskin to discuss my brother’s criminal case . The case is very serious because my bother Is facing serious prison time . I spoke with Neil and my brother called to speak with Neil from Rikers Island while I was in the office . Neil reviewed the paperwork and told my brother ...he would like to see him for a counsel visit . We are very impressed with Neil . His knowledge completely blew us away . Neil ‘s energy is fantastic and positive . We were referred to Neil by a former client that said great things . Everything is true . We intend to hire Neil .

He exceed our expectations! Terrific Lawyer

Our situation happened to be much more serious that we expected from the beginning and facing misdemeanor with “desk to appearance” ticket. As a first timer with criminal court ticket holder we knew that it can be negotiated. And what a great success we negotiated first to 6 months and 2 days of civ...il work, but that then Neil did something magical and reduced it to 30 days ACD and no civil work! Great Job Neil! Thank you

Great lawyer

I was arrested for driving with a suspended license, and I needed a lawyer. I contacted Neil Ruskin and he set up a consultation. Five minutes into the consultation, I knew I wanted this man to represent me in court. Me Ruskin demonstrated a deep knowledge of the NYC criminal justice system which co...uld only come from his years of experience. Moreover, his affability, and sense of humor has an effect of putting you at ease. he is kind and compassionate as well. Very down to earth individual, and straight forward. I would recommend Neil Ruskin to any of my friends and family. His confidence and fighting spirit convinced me that I made the right decision in choosing him as my attorney. Oh, and I might add, the consultation was free!
