Not the right fit for us and maybe not for you

Pros:- he is direct -At times answered our questions pertaining to options not directly pertaining to the case but related Cons:- difficult personality to work with, too abrasive and rude at times. He actually discouraged our doctor from testifying by pushing him too hard. We had to convince the do...ctor to change his mind. -poor communication and follow up. It took weeks at times to get a response. Many questions were left unanswered until much later and many times it was too late. -Poor coordination with staff. Assistants had difficulty answering questions and submitting things on time. Fast turnover on staff. Staff changed 3 times during the process and they were never on the same page as the attorney. -Laziness in a sense, failed to acquire expert witness and relied on us to do so. Disappointing since that is assumed to be a major part of his job. -Didn’t put in much effort with preparation which ultimately resulted in judge dismissing the case. Be cautious before you decide to hire. It’s nothing personal but we feel that many of the things he lacked are super important to the success of a case. I’ve worked with other lawyers in the past and had none of the issues I’ve stated above.

Highly recommended

Javier, worked very hard day and night on my worker's comp case. It was not an easy time for our family. He clearly explained things to us. He was constantly fighting for us. He is very experienced and very professional. I give the highest rating.

Thank You, Javier!

Javier and his team worked on my case for a year. I had sustained injury at the location of my work, and despite clear guidelines, the workers compensation company was fighting my claim. I am extremely satisfied with how my clam was handled by Javier, as I had never experienced anything like this bef...ore. He was able to answer my questions and handled my claim confidently. I highly recommend Javier if you are in need of representation.

A prize fighter for the little wo-man!

Javier Ruiz was the best referral I every received from a trusted friend who was also a former client. From the very beginning, Javier took the time to listen to my situation. He explained throughly my options and was determined that I was informed if there was any changes or if I have questions on... my case. Mr. Ruiz’s professionalism, dedication and determination to get me the best medical services and results is why I highly recommend him. Let him fight for you!

Pleasantly Pleased

Absolutely Amazing!! Not only was I impressed with his professional courtesy and willingness to give "free" advice to my immediate interests/needs, he also was willing to refer another attorney closer to my home/city to assist. I was so impressed that I decided to have him represent me himself. It's ...now been about 2 days and he's going full throttle on my case. What a relief as I was about to give up, having called, emailed so many others and even sat down with an "investigator", each time was quick, non-productive and disappointing as it seemed like they were trying to sell me a car or something and not really listening to me explain my situation in full. They had pretty much made decisions of "quick MMI" settlements which didn't even come close to addressing my losses, needs or concerns. Very pleased thus far to say the least....
