Hired Attorney

Mr. Rusing's counterfeit counsel is downright criminal. He creates legal circumstances for unsuspecting clients and then gains your trust when he swoops in to clear up his own mess. Females will not survive this firms sexual predators as their policy is to completely dismiss any complaints of assault. Reconsider.
