Posted by anonymous | July 25, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Excellent

Ruben helped me with my traffic violation and achieved superior results. As my case developed he was very accessible via telephone, email, and text to answer my questions and concerns. As my court appearance was underway, Ruben helped negotiate a fair settlement with the State's Attorney. Througho...ut the process Ruben explained the implications of each decision I had to make.

Thank-you, Ruben

We were upset and frightened over our legal Matter. Ruben was recommended by a legal referral service. Are we glad that they recommended him. Ruben is very easy to talk with and gave us the time to explain our case. He supported us through the whole process. Our case was settled satisfactorily. W...e felt his fees were reasonable. We strongly recommend him & would use Ruben again.

Honesty, Integrity, knowledgeable

Ruben is a excellent lawyer who has seen most types of cases in his area of defenses. Great lawyer who is fairly priced and works hard for his clients. Ruben's attention to detail assured me my case would have a positive outcome. Great advocate who will explain everything up front so I was able to m...ake an informed decision.

Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Ruben and I were adversaries in Cook County Criminal Court when I served as an Assistant State's Attorney and he served as a Public Defender. Ruben was always a great advocate for his clients, very knowledgable about the law and criminal procedure and also very professional. I have seen Ruben in court numerous times over the last twenty years and he is consistently a great attorney to have on your side. I highly recommend him."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Oct 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ruben Sanmiguel and I have exchanged ideas on various DUI and related matters. He is very thorough and conscientious about protecting his client's rights. Ruben carriers the added bonus of being Spanish-speaking. The language barrier can hamper an accused's defense. I endorse him and also admire his web page."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 21

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. If you are in trouble in a criminal case, Ruben is a great advocate. Ruben is highly professional, he works hard, and he returns calls faster than any attorney I have ever met. Unlike many others, Ruben also has a wide base of experience all across northern Illinois, and he commands the instant respect of prosecutors. Ruben has a great deal of trial experience and thinks well on his feet. He is not the sort of attorney to plea out a case if there is a reasonable defense. This attorney has my total confidence."
