My experience with the Ruane Attorneys at Law was very positive. They care about their clients and go out of their way to meet with their clients, even if it means going to the client wherever they are. They return calls promptly. The entire staff is courteous, caring and professional. I would not hesitate to recommmend Ruane Attorneys for your legal needs.
Attorney Brittany Paz was able to defend me from an unjust situation. Her calm and empathetic demeanor offered me professional legal services in an emotional time in my life. I had a great experience working with the team at Ruane Attorneys. Jay Ruane and his colleagues are very seasoned, knowledgeable and had the utmost professionalism with all matters of their practice.
Teresa DiNardi saved my career! I hired her to represent me and it was the best decision I made. She was kind, respectful and very professional. Teresa explained everything to me that was going on and consulted with me in every decision made. Thanks to Attorney DiNardi I have nothing holding me back from seeking better career opportunities and continuing to improve in life.
Attorney DiNardi was beyond professional in dealing with my legal dilemma. She was attentive, responsive and brought resolution to my situation timely and effectively. In addition to her demonstrated knowledge of the law and her straight line approach, she was kind and personable, making me feel very comfortable throughout the process.

Lauren Jordan is the best trader I could ask for! As first time trading, I had a lot of questions, and she was so patient through the whole process. Lauren is professional and still personable, knowledgeable, thoughtful and always pleasure to work with as I have been making profit in some months from her trading. I’d recommend her to anyone!

They take your money and don't really defend you. Atty. Does not return phone calls. They do not contact you prior to your court date to discuss your case. You meet them at the court house 5 mi utes before your case is called. No fight with the prosecutor.

I had a criminal case that I was worried would affect my cdl so I gave Ruane attorneys a call. I could not be any more satisified with the result especially avoiding having to appear in court and it is all owed to the perserverance of Dan Lage. I definitely would refer Dan Lage for any criminal issue you may have. 5 stars+

I was referred to this firm through my veteran contacts. I worked with Daniel Lage, then associate and now partner at Ruane. He and Kaila DeFalco worked to ensure my case was closed in my favor amid the pandemic chaos. The charge was reckless driving and the officer was not a reflection of ct's finest so it was a prolonged and unnecessary ordeal. I appreciate Kaila's persistent efforts with the court which allowed the case to close without my having to physically return to court. All's well that ends well.

Attorney Ruane and his crew are simply the best. It’s hard to write a review that doesn’t make it seem like he and his firm walks on water. But based upon our countless referrals to him and his firm, our clients sure think they do! So stop wasting your time looking and stressing, start improving your position now by contacting them now. I believe in them. You will too

I have been an advocate for those accused and convicted for close to 20 years in the area, i regularly go into a local jail and have interacted with thousands of guys over the years. I hear all kinds of stories of innocence, guilt, mis treatment, attorney issues and so on. Well i recently called this firm on a recommendation from another attorney to possibly take a case. Well my case was a case they wanted nothing to do with. Their advice was to take the paper work i had and convince a state agency to do something they said they would do in the paper work. i said i already did that and they

Ruane Attorneys made it easy to sign-up with them during a time when we needed a Lawyer. We were introduced to a gentleman (I don't remember his name). He didn't have a card, had recently started there but had been a lawyer for quite some time. We felt heard, made us feel like there were quite a few different approaches that could be used in this case. We met with a couple of times and he was the one that was at the court house the first time. The next time we met at Ruane Attorneys, we were switched to Jerald Lentini. We sat and retold our entire story. We asked why we were being switched

Jay Ruane is one of the top DUI lawyers in Connecticut and has a great team of lawyers. His firm is known throughout Connecticut for handling DUI and criminal cases. I personally have referred DUI clients to his office and they were very satisfied with the outcome and the attention that their case received by the entire office.

Ruane Attorneys at Law is the WORST law firm around. Aside from typical receptionists who are rude and devisive in answering the phone, phone calls are not returned in all cases. The attorneys tend to have their own agendas with whatever they are dealing with, and care little about what they are hired for.
EVERY time a court appearance is required, a DIFFERENT Attorney comes to the court. They often have little understanding of previous court proceedings and developments in the case; often relying on, and making statements like "a fresh face may help" or "maybe we will get

Beware of the blonde un experienced "associate attorney" when picking a lawyer for a dui defense!!!

she took my money and wiped her hands.
it was evident that she had little knowledgeable about dui defenses.
also, would ignore my calls.

i could have represented myself. she always had a blank look on her face that read either i took some xanax or i dont care bc i got your money.

this place sucks!

I usually dont write reviews, but honestly the service provided by Ruane Attorneys at Law was excellent!!. When I called them, I was nervous - I didnt know my options.... they responded right away, and explained in simple words what I needed to do in terms of my options. Attorney Pedraza exceeded my expectations and was able to resolve my case.
I am really grateful to all the staff & would recommend this law firm to everyone.
