Posted by PauletteBoesch | May 08, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Thanks for the "above & beyond"

My problems began with a Guilty Plea for Reckless Driving in Feb. 2013. I received a letter from the court stating I had violated my Probation! Surprised, I contacted My Attorney, who indicated that once the sentence was imposed, I was no longer represented ( had spent my $5000). Very concerned, I c...alled Mr. Gruler (randomly) on a Sunday night. Not expecting much, I received an immediate call back from Robert Gruler calming me down and began explaining what had happened, how he could assist, provided his personal cell phone number and the reasonable cost of his assistance. The road to resolving this issue was laid out step-by-step and I was represented 100% of the time in court. THANK YOU Rob, and your team, as you have continued to work with me, as I have struggled with obtaining "accurate" court records. I would highly recommend the firm R&R Law, and specifically, Robert Gruler!

Criminal Speeding

I got a criminal speeding ticket and know ones a misdemeanor on the record for driving. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. Very upfront about what they're going to try to do and the different approaches they're going to do. Answered all my question and got the job done. I got th...e option to go to driving school to clear my record. Highly recommend this firm to anyone.

The best attorneys in the U.S.! Seek no more!

If you got in trouble driving through Arizona - look no further than RR Law! My job responsibilities include doing a lot of research, and after few weeks of research, I decided to go with this company. I didn't have budget limitations, and these guys were 1/3 of the price quote I got from on of law f...irms on my Top 5 list. I decided to follow my intuition, because everyone on my list had exceptional reviews. And I was right. RR Law is the best law firm I have ever worked with. Period. And I have been working with the best attorneys (entertainment, business and immigration law). They helped me to win the case. They took care of me when I was worried and stressed. They thoroughly studied my case and found mistakes made by prosecution. They have always been available for me. They went an extra mile for me. Many many miles. I felt as if they were my family. I most sincerely thankful to Robert, Jushin, Harvey, Alysha, Serena, and to all of you guys. You are the best attorneys and simply amazing people. I admire your work ethics and I'm thankful to you forever. I would also like to thank Judge Anna Mary Glaab. Instead of just punishing me, you helped me to learn, to become more self aware and hopefully to become a better person. Thank you everyone!

Speed Camera

I was cited with help from the infamous speed cameras in Scottsdale. Since I’m a snowbird it took a month for the ticket to reach me and my court date was just 2 days away. In a panic situation I contacted Mr. Gruler. He walked me through the process. I was able to take an online class and the ticket... was dismissed. Mr. Gruler put me at ease during this stressful period. I hope to never need his services again, but he is on my speed dial.

"never behind" best legal representation I had

“Because my case could have ruined my career and business (too fast in the AZ desert is serious in that state) I needed a law firm that I could trust and that would not treat me like a “number”. Fortunately I found Mr. Gruler and his firm R&R. Having Mr. Gruler represent me was the best decision I co...uld make with the best outcome I could get. I am headquartered in Houston with more than 200 employees worldwide and had prior experiences with a lot of large legal firms in Texas that sometimes “dropped the ball” on cases like this. Knowing what a nightmare my work and travel schedule was I knew I could often not timely respond or even follow the case via email. Needless to say Mr Gruler and his assistant had a very comprehensive approach and stayed on every detail for me. They kept me up to date, sent me reminders, settled the case and constantly adapted to my changing schedule. WHEN THE COURT REQUIRED ME TO BE AVAILABLE BY PHONE AND I HAD TO LEAVE FOR AN OVERSEAS PROJECT MR. GRULER TALKED TO THE JUDGE AND HANDLED EVERYTHING WITHOUT ME EVER BEING AVAILABLE. TRY THAT WITH MY LAW FIRMS IN TEXAS AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED UPON RETURN!!!! THANK YOU MR. GRULER and special thanks to Serena the assistant who worked like a swiss clock! Anybody who needs a detailed reference ask Serena for my email or number.”

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
