Mr. Ruff is an exceptionally knowledgeable attorney in his field. He helped my disabled loved one with bankruptcy. He explains in great detail what to expect and walks you through the entire process. He has navigated a very stressful and complicated legal issue with ease and professionalism. I highly recommend Mr. Ruff for anyone needing legal assistance.

I can't begin to tell you how thorough,caring,informed,and prompt both Eric and Lisa were! I felt like a real loser when I realized that I had no choice but to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy, Eric educated me about bankruptcy, explained it step by step, treated me like a friend, and made me feel like I wasn't such a loser after all. Sometimes stuff happens that we have no control over. He was available and did a wonderful job of looking out for my best interest. Call him he's the best!

We found Mr. Ruff to be an excellent attorney.
Because of his forms for personal inventory,as well as various other neccesary forms, we found it fairly easy to list all our information.
Mr. Ruff gave us the feeling of working with a real professional.
He was deliberate and knowledgeable in all aspects of our case.
His sense of humor helped keep us at ease during our office meetings.
We were very happy with the outcome of our case and would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Ruff to anyone. P. & C.

WE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH ERIC RUFF! We were feeling like there was no way out of our financial situation and when we met with Mr. Ruff we immediately felt a sense of control again. He was honest and obviously wanted to help us get out of trouble. He's friendly and funny and makes you feel like it will be ok. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the services we received. Kyle and Lisa were great too!

I just received my final discharge papers concerning my filing of bankruptcy. After researching I chose Mr. Eric ruff for my attorney and was very glad that I did. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about Fl. bankruptcy law and is well versed in the process. He was very clear in his explanation of what was needed by me and made this ordeal very simple. I at first chose to not follow his advice about one debt but eventually went with his advice and again I am very happy I did. He is very professional and personable at the same time and I felt very comfortable in our meetings together. Surprisingly, he is a very honest and reasonably priced attorney that I highly recommend.

Filing bankruptcy is kind of depressing, something you hope you never have to do. When my wife and I realized that filing for bankruptcy was necessary, an attorney friend of ours recommended Eric Ruff. With tails between our legs, we met with Eric. I must say, I never thought the process of filing bankruptcy could be so, dare I say, enjoyable. Eric Ruff was prepared and knowledgeable and made the process easier than I thought possible with his very affable personality and great sense of humor. M
