Matthew J Ruff
About
Criminal Defense Attorney Matthew J. Ruff has devoted his entire legal career to Criminal Defense, Over 25 years of Experience. Unlike many other Attorneys who may "sideline" in the area of criminal defense, Attorney Ruff has limited his practice to exclusive criminal defense for over two decades. Prior to starting his work in Criminal Defense, he worked in one of the largest District Attorney's Offices in the State of California. This gives his clients an edge by having "inside knowledge" of how his client's case will be prosecuted. He also gives his clients the added "edge" and an educational background in Law Enforcement, Police Science, and Administration of Criminal Justice. Put simply, he knows the "ins and outs" of the Criminal Justice system from the police, the D.A., and the Judge hearing the case, giving his clients a distinct advantage when charged with a crime. Matthew is also a life-long member of the National College of DUI Defense, an organization committed to excellence in the defense of DWI and driving under the influence charges.
Matthew has been given a top rating of Superb by AVVO and enjoys a 5-star rating on Yelp, Google, and all other online search sites.
What also sets Attorney Ruff apart from most other attorneys is the fact that he gives the client one-on-one attention. He is always available to consult directly, never passing his clients off to a paralegal or legal assistant. He believes his clients deserve this kind of respect.
He is known in California as a top criminal lawyer, a zealous defender, and an aggressive "FIGHTER" for his clients.
