Overview
“For the people and by the people” had never rung truer than when you refer to George C Ruiz. George, one of 3 siblings, grew up in a traditional Hispanic home and beyond being perfectly bilingual, he is perfectly bicultural. He navigates with ease with English or Spanish speaking clients. His passion for his clients dates to the deep roots from his Mexican upbringing where he learned the value of being ethical and driven by principles. He is committed to giving his clients a voice and guiding them in obtaining the best possible outcome in a straightforward and honest way. His adrenaline is fueled by the thought of fighting for his clients and winning for them. He continues to carve his way in the legal system and has been diligently building his reputation. He has handled many prominent criminal and family matters and his office continues to flourish as an office that consistently delivers results. He is committed and knows that the “lion doesn’t turn when the small dog barks”. He is in it to win it! He truly believes that he is the “world’s equalizer” turning his clients wrongs into rights. The confidence he exudes, permeates at all stages and levels of the legal battle to insure you receive the best possible outcome. He is not afraid to go against the current if it means that he will protect his clients best interest and is no stranger to playing outside of the sandbox. George chose to become an attorney out of the conviction to make a difference in his clients lives, a truly unique quality that sets him apart from all others. He has the uncanny ability to anticipate the next move in a manner that allows him stay one step ahead of the opposing side. George is without a doubt, the attorney and partner you want in your corner.

Hired Attorney 2020I cannot even begin to tell you the amazing work the folks over at Ruiz provide. They have an answer to every question. Even the questions I was too afraid to ask. They never hesitate to explain things to you. They never hesitate to find the answers you’re looking for. They never make you feel like a lesser person for not knowing what you’re doing. George, Candy, Tony and team, many blessings to all of you.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
