Matthew J Ruff, Attorney at Law

Mathew is my Attorney and I can’t say enough great things about him. From the very start he gave me confidence, positivity and ease of mind regarding my case. His professionalism, responsiveness and experience made me very comfortable and I would have no hesitation referring Mr. Ruff.

Legal matters are always a daunting feeling. You go through a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. On top of that, there are a plethora of lawyers that you can choose from. You don’t know who will be terrible, good, great or exceptional. Matthew is not the first lawyer I’ve worked with, but from my experience, he is one of the exceptional ones. I’m the type of personal that would question everything. Why this, why that, how come, what’s next? Matthew is patient, answered my questions while providing a sense of relief. That is the important part, the feeling of relief. That feeling helps you get through tough situations, gives you comfort and peace of mind.

Throughout my case he updated me on what the plan of action would be and what to expect. Matthew fights for you and that’s the bottom line.

I appreciate you and your efforts Matthew. Thank you

Matt was beyond helpful. I needed his council but wasn’t currently living in Los Angeles county. He was honest with me about the reality of my case, gave me phone numbers of my local resources (which is not an area he was familiar with but still took the time and go that extra mile to help me) and he also referred me to a local lawyer that better suited my situation. He’s trustworthy, nonjudgmental, experienced and very kind. He helped so much without charging me a thing. I highly recommend him.

My son was involved in a felony DUI that turned our lives around as you can imagine !! In scrambling to find an attorney, we were lucky enough to find Mr. Ruff….His price compared to others we encountered was very reasonable and it eased our minds….From the start he was very encouraging and available at all times.
Mr Ruff was very personable , friendly and got us thru! He never raised his prices.
It is with great pleasure that I whole heartedly recommend Mr. ruff.

Working with Matt to defend a close friend of mine on a DUI case and a refused breathalyzer. We found Matt online and he has been the ultimate professional. His encyclopedic knowledge and experience in this area has provided the peace of mind that everything that can be done is being done - and it resulted in dropping of the criminal charges. There’s no way we could have navigated without Matt. He’s the real deal.

Matthew went to bat for me and really helped me in my case using his knowledge and familiarity with the courthouse my case was in. He communicated well, gave me updates and direction, and most of all he got my charges reduced! I couldn’t have asked for anything else, slam dunk hire! If you need representation, you can’t go wrong with Matthew.

Matthew Ruff handled my case brilliantly. Most importantly, he put me at ease throughout the entire process which allowed me to focus and remain calm and collected. In the end I got a very favorable outcome, better than I was expecting. He's very knowledgeable and also very polite, king and professional. He is transparent about his fee, which in my view, was very fair. I highly recommend Matthew.

Matthew was honest, forthcoming and informative. He was also friendly and supportive. My interaction with him was professional and casual at the same time. I felt like I was talking to a really smart friend. I’m completely impressed with Matthew Ruff!

Matthew Ruff is an excellent criminal attorney. I was impressed with the level of knowledge, expertise and compassion he had for my family and I. He answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Look no further, Matthew Ruff is the attorney that will best represent you.

I don’t think I could recommend anyone’s services more highly than I recommend Matthew Ruff’s. This being my first time dealing with legal trouble, my head was spinning. I consulted with multiple attorneys, all whom I felt unsure about. Mr. Ruff came as a personal recommendation, and right from our initial consultation I realized he was who I wanted in my corner. Mr. Ruff is professional as well as down to earth and transparent, so I never felt unsure or overwhelmed about my case. Because of his extensive knowledge and experience he lead me through the process with complete confidence. We achieved the best outcome and I am incredibly thankful!

Attorney Mathew Ruff is not just an excellent lawyer but a very kind and patient person. My experience working with Mr. Mathew Ruff was excellent. In 2007, he gave my case all the time and attention that was needed in to be successful in court. He was calming and assuring during every court proceeding. He helped me get back to my normal life and for this I will always be very grateful. Recently, I needed assistance in understanding some legal documents and he was more than helpful in providing me all the details so I could successfully complete my paperwork. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received from Mr. Ruff and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to my friends and family in the event they need legal assistance. Thank you again Mr. Ruff!

Matthew Ruff is hands down the best lawyer. I was so scared on what to do next with my case and had a ton of anxiety about it all. Matthew was the first lawyer I called and after our first conversation I knew I called the right person. I was very honest with him about everything that happened and he represented me throughout our whole case. He was very upfront with all my possible outcomes and prepared me for it all. He was able to get my DUI arrest down to a reckless driving and I’m forever grateful for all his hard work in my case. He is attentive, hard working, patient and kind. I highly recommend hiring Matthew.
Thank you for everything again.

My biggest concern after being charged at LAX was jail time. After getting off the phone with Matthew Ruff for the first time I truly felt like I was in good hands he is very professional and always picked up the phone when I called. Matthew got me the best possible outcome for what my charges were 1yr unsupervised probation best of all no jail time. I will definitely recommend Matthew Ruff to anyone looking for a good dependable lawyer that truly wants and gets the best outcome for his clients.

I highly recommend Matthew Ruff Attorney. He was very professional and knowledgeable from the first conversation we had. He put all of my worries and concerns at ease. He challenged every single bit of my case and helped me to ultimately get the charges dropped down and win my case. He was completely up front with me on what to expect and very knowledgeable of the laws. Hands down best decision I made retaining him as my personal attorney. He saved me a ton of time and money!

My son was charged with 647 F which is public intoxication charge, I hired Matthew J Ruff he is an amazing attorney. He works with you, he is affordable. He also responds within minutes if he’s not at the courthouse and keeps you updated on your case. My sons case was dropped we are truly grateful to Matthew, he gets the job done!

My experience with Matthew J Ruff, was wonderful. He was promt and very knowledgeable and kept me updated in a professional manner.

Mr. Ruff quite literally saved my life. It's taken me a while to write this because it's hard to put into words my gratitude for all the hard work he put in and what he accomplished. I was being charged with hit and run where a death was involved which carries up to 5 years in prison. I admitted everything to police when they arrested three weeks after the fact which didn't leave Mr. Ruff very much to work with for a defense. Police had video footage and plenty of evidence against me. After 2.5 years and many court dates he returned a result of NO conviction. I have 2 young daughters and my absence would have been devastating to my family. Mr. Ruff has zero help, does EVERYTHING by himself, puts in an incredible amount of effort for his clients, shows up at every court date which you won't find with majority of attorneys and he doesn't stop until he returns the best possible outcome. I am unbelievably grateful for what he was able to do for me. Thank you Mr. Ruff!

I called Matthew Ruff the day after I had issues and he returned my call within the same day. He immediately walked me off the metaphorical ledge and told me to let him worry about my case so that I could heal from my car accident. Matt kept in touch throughout the process and I was prepared for my actual day in court. On that day, Matt was able to negotiate a wet reckless despite the fact that I had a high BAC and a major car accident. His skills as an attorney and relationships within the court system make him your best choice for an attorney. I will still have to face many of the same penalties and consequences as a normal DUI, but can now continue with my professional licensing and international travel as a result of Matthew Ruff's fine work.

Mr. Ruff was a great help to a young lawyer like me. Mr. Ruff taught me about Judicial Diversion, and I have been very successful from the knowledge Mr. Ruff shared. He is knowledgeable and communicates well. 5/5 Recommend Mr. Ruff.

Matthew J Ruff is very responsive and well versed on changes in criminal defense law. I recommend his services to anyone looking to potentially divert their misdemeanor case.
