Great attorney!

I was facing 2 (felony) trafficking charges and because of those charges I violated my probation. Rufus was able to get me a VOP bond- which is extremely rare. Ultimately my probation ran out and they had no choice but to terminate it! In the end, all charges of trafficking against me were dismissed!... Thanks Rufus! He was very honest and ready to work hard!

BEST EVER

Rufus was the best lawyer I ever met. He cared about me genuinely and not just about taking my money. He guided me through my whole trial getting all my charges dismissed.

Not to be trust at all

He lie about the amount the Insurance company is offering by not allow you to see the Insurance policy. I tell him to settle for amount but he ask for less and write me out a person check but the check should be in my name from the Insurance company. He not to be trusted and he trying steal all the m...oney he can out of your settlement, Don't hire him!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
