Excellent attorney and very personable. Victor Ruiz is the type of person you want in your corner when dealing with a situation you feel like you cant handle. From the beginning, he makes you feel at ease, he has control of whatever you're facing and guides you in the right path. I had tons of questions throughout the two year period were I was facing a malpractice suit. I am not an expert in law but he is able to explain everything in simple terms were you're able to understand the process. He also prepares you in a very detailed manner when you face mediation with the plaintiffs lawyers. Thank you Victor you have been a lifesaver.
We retained Victor to resolve a very complicated matter that had been lingering for some time. From the inception, Victor was pro-active in his assessment of the various aspects of our case and clear and concise in explaining the plan of action options for our review. At all times through the process, which led to a successful conclusion, Victor was the consummate professional and responded to our needs and requests in a most timely manner. His knowledge of the law and legal system, coupled with his demeanor in dealing with the other party, proved invaluable to us. Victor will be representing us if any such causes of action arise in the future. We are very comfortable recommending Mr. Ruiz to any individual or firm requiring the services of a dedicated, qualified advocate.
