Professional attorney

Today I went to see attorney Neil Ruskin for a free consultation I went to see Neil to discuss a criminal matter my wife had me arrested on false criminal charges she left me and I am unsure where she is I am completely innocent and told Niel I want to fight the case. My next court appearance is in J...uly the case is pending in queens. I want to see my children and niel told me to go to family court tomorrow and make arrangements. Niel is an excellent lawyer that knows the law. Niel is very sensitive polite and professional Niel is an excellent lawyer. I will get back to Niel tomorrow after I go to family court.

Great guy and quick lawyer

Neil was very kind and knowledgeable during our consultation. He was not someone who was looking to make a quick buck and gave my fiance all necessary info about a possible warrant over a decade ago. Highly recommend him! Great human!

Neil is a fantastic lawyer who will sit wit...h you and explain everything patiently and with compassion. Neil told me I can call him if I had any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Neil because he's honest sincere and fair. He gives you feeling that no matter the case you're in good hands

Trustworthy and Ethical

If you are looking for an honest and get to the bottom of your case attorney-I highly recommend Neil Ruskin to anyone dealing with a criminal charge. Neil represented me in a case and I could not have asked for better legal support. From the first consultation, he explained everything clearly and... made sure I understand my options. He was very professional, responsive, and truly cared about my situation. What I appreciated the most was that he was upfront about costs and actually helped me saved money through out the process. His experience showed in court and my case was resolved favorably. Thanks Mr.Neil Ruskin!
