Weak office, wouldn’t hire
I am approaching the two year mark in my lawsuit and I can honestly say that choosing Attorney Thomas Giuffra was one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the very beginning he stood out as a true professional, a strategic thinker, and an unwavering advocate. In a field where many attorneys make promises that do not match their performance, Thomas proves himself with results, integrity, and unmatched skill. He took the time to understand every detail of my case. He never rushed me, and he made sure that I always understood what was happening and what to expect. He communicates clearly and respectfully and explains complicated legal matters in a way that anyone can comprehend. I never felt like just another client. He made me feel heard and valued throughout the entire process. His dedication is what sets him apart. He prepares thoroughly and leaves no stone unturned. Every decision he makes is backed by careful research and deep experience. He is always thinking ahead and anticipating potential challenges long before they arise. Watching his preparation and strategy unfold gave me complete confidence in his abilities. What impressed me on a personal level is his compassion and honesty. He does not tell you what you want to hear just to keep you comfortable. He tells you the truth and prepares you realistically for every scenario. Yet he delivers that honesty with empathy and understanding. Throughout this long and emotional journey he has been a source of strength, reassurance, and guidance. There were many stressful moments during this lawsuit and every time I reached a point of concern or doubt he was there with answers and direction. He is responsive, he communicates consistently, and he makes sure his clients never feel alone or ignored. His reputation as one of the best attorneys in the country is well deserved. He is relentless, committed, and passionate about achieving justice. He fights for his clients as if their case is his own and he refuses to settle for less than what is fair and right. I can confidently say that as my case approaches its conclusion I have had the very best legal representation possible. If you want an attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, dedicated, and highly effective, look no further. Attorney Thomas Giuffra is simply outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone seeking top level legal representation.

I usually love supporting everyone. I find it hard to in this case. I suffered a terrible TBI due to medical negligence. This firm was not great and didn’t investigate the case, there is no way that after 2 years and a permanent injury there was “no medical evidence “-imho. I trusted them and for almost a year and a half thought they’d handled things.

I spent 7 years coordinating with Mr. Ruffo enduring endless hours of communication, dedication and his never ending support. Mr. Ruffo worked day and night to resolve my case always keeping me in the loop, fighting for the best possible outcome and ensuring my happiness. I would recommend Mr. Ruffo to anyone in need of a lawyer. He will go through great lengths to ensure his clients satisfaction and listens to your needs, wants and feelings down to the detail.

Attorney Ruffo was a GODSEND to me for my malpractice suit. He stuck with me for over 5 years while we battled this Healthcare system! He walked me through the whole process, the office kept me informed along the way, and above all, I felt like he SAW me. I had his cell number and everything! Even when presented with hiccups in the case, he still fought for me. Ended up settling for much more than I was expecting and honestly I'm just so grateful and thankful to him and his firm. Definitely recommend Attorney Ruffo if you need a kick-a$$ lawyer in NYC!

Before I could speak to an attorney, the woman who gathered my information was completely insensitive and unprofessional. Sharing a personal story/pertinent information can be difficult and requires at least some empathy. Saying “I know you’re not mentally well blah blah blah” to a potential client? Terrible.
Owner response
I am saddened to hear that you had such a negative experience and I apologize on behalf of my firm. Please contact me with details of your encounter so it can be properly addressed. Edward A. Ruffo, Partner. eruffo@rheingoldlaw.com. 646 330 1550

I would recommend Edward Ruffo to the highest degree possible for anyone in need of a top-notch medical malpractice lawyer. Over the past six years, he has provided me with exceptional service and support. From day one, Mr Ruffo was incredibly attentive, always taking the time to explain complex legal processes in a way that I could understand. Moreover, he even gave me his personal cell phone. Allowing me to reach out, whenever I had questions or needed further clarity. What truly sets Mr Ruffo apart though, is how tirelessly he fought on my behalf. He went above and beyond in all matters, and allowed me to focus on my health while he took care of the rest. If you're looking for a lawyer who will truly go the extra mile for you, look no further.

Edward Ruffo was the lawyer I chose to represent my family after losing my mother to nursing home negligence resulting in her death.From the first time I spoke to him, he demonstrated a true passion for his job. He also demonstrated a strong ability and willingness to listen, displayed an excellent knowledge of the law, possesed excellent communication skills, was very patient, hardworking and persevering. His expertise in the area of law that he practices is superb. He is informative and is available whenever I need to speak to him or his staff. Any information imparted to me is easy to comprehend and explained in understandable terms. Mr Ruffo has worked tirelessly on my mother's case and everyone at his firm has been kind, patient and supportive. Mr Ruffo's paralegal , Nathalia Eusebio is one of the most kindhearted and personable people that I have ever had the priviledge of talking to. I cannot wait to meet her in person. She is always available to answer any questions that I have when I call the office, is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend this attorney group to anyone who requires assistance with litigation.
