This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

a terrific lawyer and a wonderful human being

Cheryl was referred to me by another attorney for dealing with some unemployment and medical board related issues I was facing. I contacted her while she was apparently on vacation, but she responded to me right away.  I spoke to Cheryl over the phone and she was very patient in listening to the spec...ifics of my case and and was thoughtful in her response.  She correctly anticipated the actions that would be taken by my former employer and the hurdles I would face, and clearly walked me through the steps I needed to take to defend myself.  Thanks to her, I was successful in my appeal and got the outcome I had hoped for.  Cheryl is a very knowledgeable lawyer and a caring person, and I highly recommend her to anyone who can benefit from her expertise.

Top Notch Attorney

Ms. Ruggiero represented me a few years ago in an employment contract negotiation and ongoing as my general counsel in all legal matters related to my business in the entertainment field. She is knowledgeable, responsive and tenacious. Ms. Ruggiero is highly recommended for her professionalism, pas...sion for her work and her deep understanding of the law.

settlement over payment dispute

I consigned a vintage car in an action. It sold. The auction house delayed paying me the hammer price. When I enquired about the delay they told me the buyer was disputing the provenance of the car. At that point I hired Cheryl Ruggerio to negotiate on my behalf. She was very thorough and quick to... understand all the documentation I presented her with and was able to research and fill in all the gaps providing the auction house with indisputable evidence of the cars long history. She presented the new found information and documentation to the auction house and negotiated a settlement to the agreement of all concerned parties. Cheryl Ruggierro was a great listener, patient and got right onto it.

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.
