BEWARE

Hiring Costen Ruiz turned out to be a mistake. I should have known when I heard another client of theirs in the law firm’s lobby complaining about how unorganized and unprofessional they were. In addition to the many last-minute cancellations I had to deal with, the attorney assigned to me, Lauren..., was very rude and talked to me like I was a child. Yet, she was the one who ended up being unprepared with my case. I had to call in the owner, Jesse, just to get Lauren to stop yelling at me. That’s when the owner apologized and stated that their firm did not specialize in tenant-landlord cases like mine and didn’t feel they could offer me the representation I deserved. Then Jesse explained that they would substitute out of my case and refund my $3,500 dollars for my troubles. But within days the owner would go back on his word and suddenly claim that the firm didn’t owe me anything?? Jesse then offered to give me a total refund - but if I didn’t write a bad review about his firm. But being a man of principle, I declined his offer and instead encouraged him to keep his word and simply refund my money as promised. The firm ultimately would ghost me, so I had no choice but to place a stop payment on my credit card. If that isn’t effective, I plan to take them to court. My goal is to always be transparent for others to benefit. So I have made sure to share my experience with other organizations and platforms. I am a 100% disabled Air Force veteran, and this is my true and sworn testimony.

Jesse is a Class Act

My case is for a TRO. I first faced the Judge without an Attorney . My A got served to me on a platter by a Commissioner (not even a Judge). I quickly got whatever resources I could get my hands on, to retain Jesse. His TRO record of losing 2/800 cases made me realize I’d be in good hands with his ...Law Firm. I have another Attorney for an Estate case and that Law Firm charges for every minute you speak on the phone with anyone from their office (even the Receptionist has an hourly rate….seriously!! ). I’m so glad Jesse doesn’t charge that hourly because I’d be owing him way more because of all the time he and his Staff has vested in me. I honestly don’t know how he does it, because of all his case loads and to invest so much time into a Client…that’s impressive! This guy is sharp, intuitive, intelligent, but above all, he genuinely cares about each and every person he deals with daily. I can tell from his Staff members, how loyal and hardworking they all are. His Paralegal Odalis, his contract liaison Juan, even his peppy receptionist. A tall tell of a great leader is from his team. I can’t say enough about how honored I am to have Jesse represent me. I would recommend Jesse to anyone as long as you’re not opposing me in Court (lol, it’s a conflict of interest of course). My point being you’d rather have him on your side then the opposition. #teamJesse

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.
