Small Claims Advice

I consulted Ashley with regards to a small claims issue. She promptly advised me of the various avenues I could take to resolve my problem. Ashley explained everything to me in a simple, easy-to-understand manner and was willing to answer any and all questions I had (which were a ton)! I would highly... recommend her to anyone facing a legal issue no matter how big or small. If you are looking for an intelligent attorney who will give you the time and attention you deserve, Ashley should be your first choice.

Outstanding service, wide berth of knowledge!

Ashley has been an incredibly valuable resource to me during a time I have needed a lot of legal advice in two separate areas (small claims and labor). I found myself not getting the information and help I needed within the legal system and even from other lawyers. When I consulted Ashley, she was pr...ompt, accurate, and helpful in making sure I understood my rights and the procedures that would follow. I feel so grateful that she was able to help me get what I needed in a system that doesn't cater to people who don't speak legalese.

Very Helpful

I consulted Ms Viruet regarding an issue that I was having with my former employer who was refusing to pay me my final paycheck. Ms Viruet responded quickly to all of my questions and handed me the specific pieces of the New York labor laws that applied to my case. She explained everything to me so... that I could handle the situation with my employer and offered to step in and deal with the communication if the situation escalated. Thankfully, it did not get to that point and I received my final paycheck much more quickly than we had expected. Overall she was super helpful and I would definitely consult Ms Viruet for any legal advice in the future.

"Ms. Viruet is the "go to attorney" when it comes to criminal defense. From arraignments to trial, she is ready, able, and willing to answer any questions on law and criminal procedure. During court proceedings, she viciously argues for her clients and shows prosecutors they will have a difficult time trying to establish case against Ms. Viruet's clients."

"Ashley and I met a little over a year ago when she was at the Brooklyn Defender Service and I had just left the Brooklyn DA's Office. I instantly realized the tremendous passion Ashley has for defending the rights of the most vulnerable in our society. Ashley truly has a passion and calling for criminal defense. She understands the nuances and intricacies of our justice system and works tirelessly to achieve the best results for our clients. As a partner, there is no one else I would trust more with handling any criminal matter. Ashley holds my full faith and confidence."

  • 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.
