Hearing case

Ms. Ruch handled my case with professionalism and diligence. Her attention to detail help me get a fair hearing when it initially appeared that everything was stacked against me. I cannot thank her enough!!!

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

I referred a family member to Ms. Ruch and could not be happier with the results she was able to get in the courtroom. She handled his criminal case with professionalism. One of the biggest complaints about attorneys from clients is that we do not communicate back to clients in a timely manner. Ms. R...uch was very responsive anytime he had a question and always returned phone calls with 24 hours. Inside the courtroom, she was more than competent in knowing the laws, but more importantly, she has developed a reputation as an avid representative of her client's interest. Anyone facing a criminal charge should definitely consider hiring Ms. Ruch for their representation.

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Erika is an extremely dedicated attorney, who personally cares about each one of her clients. Erika's caring is matched only by her knowledge of the law and ability to think on her feet. I have known Erika since law school, and become more impressed with her every year. Erika's talent has been recognized not only by me, but also by the best criminal defense firm in the area. After they witnessed her courtroom skills as a public defender, they decided to offer her a job. Hopefully you never have to use Erika's defense chops, but if you do, you want her in your corner."
