Posted by anonymous | August 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Excellent lawyer!

I had received a DUI in Van Nuys, a known difficult court that does not grant any plea bargains. However, thanks to Ruzanna and her hard working efforts she was able to reduce my DUI into a reckless driving. I strongly recommend hiring Ruzanna as she is well prepared, communicates well explaining... all premises clearly and puts the client's mind at ease. She definitely knows what she is doing and is well experienced in criminal defense!

Fraud insurance

I had a order of arrest but she removed it.. They give me provetion and she talk to the judge to translate it to where I live. Very helpful she's the best.

Top Choice for Your Defense

Ruzanna is quick to see the situation from every angle and offer prudent advice that will save your butt! She has saved me from several 'sticky situations' ensuring that my charges were reduced and even dropped wherever possible. She is quick to respond to all correspondence and willing to take the t...ime necessary to ensure you understand the legal possibilities of your situation. And on top of that she asks for a fair price for her services!! She actually helped me realize I was being swindled by another shark-like attorney who was using scare tactics to charge me ridiculous fees. Ruzanna was point-blank exposing the nature of the situation to me and offering several solutions that saved me time and money. And she will do the same for you as soon as you give her a call!

Thank you

I wanted to take a few moments to express my gratitude towards Mrs. Poghosyan for seeing me during my time of need and helping me out in court from the kindness of her heart. Watching her in action in the courthouse allowed me to see that, my case was going to be in great hands; and I was right. What... can I say... You were meant to be my Attorney.

Best lawyer

Went through the whole process responded to all my calls and promise to drop my case to a misdemeanor and expunge it after and she did. My case wasn't a easy case but she pulled through and got the job done. I'm very happy and will recommend her to any body that is in needs a lawyer. I gave her a ove...r all five stars because she answer all of my calls, was there when I needed her and gave me correct answers and gave me great advise. Great attorney and person.

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.
