Great Attorney and Paralegal team

Mr. Ruiz actually cares about his clients. I was a court appointed client (so he made pocket change off me) and he went out of his way to make sure that I made it to my court date even driving to pick me up 20 miles outside of town because i do not have a car (he got my case dismissed). He cares abo...ut you regardless of the money he does what he has to. Very compassionate about his work. His paralegal Candy is very kind and helpful. They really seem to know what they are doing.

"George is a fierce advocate for his clients. In the cases that we have worked together, he has shown a strong penchant for finding the answers on his cases and obtaining the best possible outcome. We have tried at least one jury trial together and the verdict came back not guilty on a Felony. I couldn't have done it without him."

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.
