I Have Dedicated My Legal Career To Helping People Just Like You - Legal Advice You Can Trust

I am Brooklyn criminal defense attorney Neil S. Ruskin. I won't insult you by telling you not to worry. It's very human to worry about the future. But here is something that I'm sure will help you feel a little better: As an experienced criminal defense attorney - I CAN and WILL help you.

You Need A Kings County Criminal Defense Expert! Tough! Strong! Smart! Aggressive! And On Your Side!

For more than 40 years, I have provided legal representation for individuals facing every type of criminal charge; ranging from DUI and driver's license suspension - to domestic violence, felony grand larceny and murder. In every case, there has always been a successful strategy for helping a person face the charges and always a better outcome than they might face by just pleading guilty with another Brooklyn NY criminal defense attorney. I fight hard to win to get the best results for my clients - my reviews speak for themselves.

How am I different from other Brooklyn criminal defense attorneys?

Since beginning practice in 1973, I have committed myself to making sure the New York City criminal justice system knows that there are peoples' lives behind the charges, not just case files to prosecute.  Call me any time of the day or night for the legal help you need!

If you are under investigation for a crime or have already been charged, do not wait to see what the prosecutor will do next. Call me any time of the day or night to arrange a meeting.

Please remember do not make any statements or admissions to a police officer, law enforcement, or district attorneys. Call Neil Ruskin if you are under investigation, about to get arrested, or have been arrested. REMEMBER - remain silent and say nothing. Tell them you want to speak to Brooklyn criminal defense attorney NEIL S RUSKIN. You are constitutionally entitled to speak to your lawyer. Once you tell them you want to speak to a lawyer they must stop questioning you - that is the law. Also, remember to sign nothing, don't consent to anything and don't waive your rights.

I offer aggressive, effective criminal defense for all misdemeanor and felony offenses. My practice areas include:

  • DUI defense: Yes, there are alternatives to accepting a guilty plea agreement and facing a driver's license suspension. As a Brooklyn criminal defense lawyer, I know what programs are available for first-time offenders and repeat offenders to help you avoid serious consequences.
  • Drug crimes: Whether you have been charged with illegal possession of street drugs or prescription medication in New York, I offer the help you need. Having a chemical dependency problem or drug addiction doesn't make you a criminal. I will prepare your case aggressively and pursue every available strategy to help you get into the recovery program you need and stay out of jail.
  • Theft and property crimes: If you are facing false accusations, you can trust me to fight aggressively to preserve your innocence in court. In many cases, individuals charged with theft or possession of stolen property have a chemical addiction they need to support. I will make sure the human story is included in your defense and work to negotiate an alternative to a conviction.
  • Assault, violent crimes and gun charges: Whether it involves charges of domestic violence, assault or homicide, if you were caught at the wrong place at the wrong time or need help with controlling violence, I am ready to assist you and do everything possible to keep you out of jail.
  • Sex offenses: Nothing will destroy your future and ruin your reputation like a conviction for a sex offense, particularly if the accusations include a minor. I have helped many individuals get charges dismissed or reduced and have won many cases.
