Malcolm Peter Ruff

Malcolm Ruff has not only been a respected colleague and co-worker, but a close friend ever since law school. Malcolm is compassionate, caring, aggressive and knowledgeable. After clerking together in the State's Attorney's Office, we both served together as Assistant State's Attorney's, prosecuting misdemeanors and felonies in Baltimore County. Malcolm is a phenomenal lawyer who truly cares about his clients and will fight to make sure they get the best possible results.

In the time that I have gotten to know Mr. Ruff in and out of the courtroom, a few descriptions immediately come to mind. Dedicated to his clients. A sharpened legal mind. An affable and endearing personality that towers above his contemporaries. Mr. Ruff has quickly risen to the top of his profession, recently receiving a not guilty verdict on a criminal matter that included attempted murder charges. It is very obvious that Mr. Ruff wakes up every single day with enthusiasm and commitment to his clients. I have witnessed him taking phone calls at all hours, preparing motions in the midnight hour, and surmising his next strategy, for the next client. I would entrust Mr. Ruff with any criminal matter, no matter how minor or severe. With freedom on the line, he is a proven winner.
