Horrible experience

After taking my retainer, nothing was ever done on my case I n over a year's time. There was absolutely no communication and my phone calls were never returned. Now he is not giving me my file after several requests. Unprofessional and incompetent

Excellent criminal defense attorney

Excellent attorney, trust this attorney with my life. I have yet to find an attorney that is as good and as trusting as Adam Ruiz. I recommend him highly to anyone needing criminal defense. Does not make promises but works hard to give you the best defense possible.
