Excellent criminal defense lawyer

Ruzanna is my first choice any time I need a criminal lawyer hands down. When she walks into the courtroom her presence is felt. Anything from minor traffic violations all the way up to state and federal cases, she’s got the experience and knowledge needed.

Posted by Zhora | August 24, 2023 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

DUI case

Ruzanna Poghosyan is an excellent lawyer. I am lucky I was able to find her. The court was trying to put a DUI on me. Thanks to Ruzanna Poghosyan’s hard work my charges got successfully dropped. The court literally gave up. Prices are very affordable too. Ruzanna Poghosyan is very communicative and e...xplains everything clearly. Highly recommended lawyer and it was a pleasure to work with her. Thanks again!

Firm & Stern Defense Attorney

I was recently represented by Ruzanna in my case. She knows the justice system very well and has a lot of experience in court. She listens to her clients and weighs out all the options before choosing the best way to represent and achieve satisfactory results. The staff is attentive to your needs and... communicates expeditiously for required paperwork. RP Defense was the best choice I've made!

Ruzanna Poghosyan is one of the best lawyers my family had the pleasure of working with. She represented my father for his case regarding licensing of our restaurant and the results of the case were in our favor! She not only stands by you and pays attention to details but her positive attitude helps... make the process easier! Thank you Ruzanna Poghosyan for everything you do!

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!

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.
