Great results!! Professional easy to work with

Ruth came highly recommended to me by a friend. At my bond hearing she got my bail reduced from $100,000 to $10,000 and got the condition of a GPS ankle bracelet removed so I could go back to work and keep my job. My case was dropped without any conviction and she even had my arrest record expunged. ...She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations I highly recommend hiring Ruth singer

First priority

This is the first time I have had to seek legal representation and I could not have hoped for better. Rith Singer was thorough and explained all the steps that would happen, kepping me updated as each step was made. She was very honest and patient with me and all my questions about the process for m...y case. I felt as if I was her first priority.

Great Attorney

I am writing this review because if anyone deserves one it is Ruth Singer. I had an inconceivable legal experience in Brevard County. When I contacted the Singer Firm. I had a conversation with Ruth Singer who I found to professional and informative. Ruth Singer quoted me an amount on what it woul...d cost to handle my case. I found it to be more than reasonable after speaking with other attorneys. While addressing my case Ruth Singer kept me informed and updated me every step of the way. I felt confident she was on the case. When I would contact her via phone or email if not available she would get back to me asap. Ruth Singer was diligent and totally proficient. Without going into details I had a very positive outcome with my case due largely to Ruth Singer. I highly recommend her for legal counsel. Carmine

Honest, Ethical and Always kept me Informed

I retained Ruth for a business legal issue. From day one, I was given all of my options and recommendations. I understood everything about my legal issue and Ruth thoroughly prepared me for court prior to our court date. On the day of court, Ruth met us at the courthouse and made sure I was relax...ed and ready. She was brilliant! The judge even made a comment (after our case) about what a great lawyer she was and how well she represented me. I would highly recommend 'The Singer Firm" for any and all legal issues. We plan on using her again soon in the near future for some personal business.

She can find a needle in a haystack when it comes to case law. She's creative about her arguments and diligent with her cases. She is honest, respectful, and all-around an amazing attorney. I was lucky to practice law with her. She is still one of the people I go to when I need another attorney's opinion on a matter. This is an attorney you should never think twice about hiring. She is pure excellence in the practice of law."

  • 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.
