Hired Attorney Richard Ruhl

I highly recommend Attorney Alex Villatte and the entire team at Ruhl Law. Dealing with criminal charges against my sons was an incredibly difficult and stressful time as a mother, but the support we received made all the difference. Attorney Villatte has been compassionate, highly knowledgeable, and exceptionally responsive, even returning calls and emails after business hours. He is dedicated, honest, and took the time to clearly explain every step. I also want to specifically recognize Makinzie, the legal receptionist/assistant. She was an absolute pleasure to interact with. Makinzie was always very kind, caring, friendly, and helpful, never seeming too busy to talk or answer questions. Her positive and supportive attitude truly made every interaction smoother. Ruhl Law is incredibly lucky to have Makinzie as such a valuable asset on their team. If you are looking for dedicated, ethical, and compassionate legal counsel with a supportive staff, I recommend Ruhl Law!

Hired Attorney Richard Ruhl

Rick Ruhl is incredibility focused, very tactical, and understands the legal process, he is a quite force at work. Our Juvenile (15yo) Son was facing very serious felony charges with the possibility of being charged as an Adult, and was in a detention center longer than the state protocol called for. We were frightened and in search of help when we were referred to Rick a month into it with no insight as to when and how he would be handled. Rick took my call on Saturday afternoon, and we retained the firm Monday morning. YES, we were that impressed with his explanation of the challenge and process we faced. We felt a level of understanding that we really were hoping to get in that one-hour meeting. Bottom line, in less than 1 month after hiring the firm, Rick was able to mange it so the state dropped all charges! We feel honored and blessed that we found our way to this team!!!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
