Best Bankruptcy Attorney
If you are looking for a Bankruptcy attorney in Northern Florida, you can end your search here. Eric Ruff is the most experienced, professional and personable attorney you would want while going through such a difficult process like filing for Bankruptcy. I hired Eric to be my attorney, and quickly realized Eric treats you like a friend when discussing your unique situation. He fully understands that every client's circumstances are different, and he is empathetic to the impact going through a bankruptcy can have on an individual. Next, Eric has more experience that most attorneys in the industry; which makes him extremely knowledgeable on all the laws and legal proceedings regarding filing for bankruptcy. He can breakdown complex legal matters and be able to explain them into layman's terms, so his clients understand the law and processes involved. Also, he pays immense attention to detail when dealing with your case. He will walk you through the entire process to ensure the filing is complete and accurate. Eric is also easy to contact. He returns phone calls in a timely manner and will answer emails the same way. I would highly recommend Eric Ruff to be your attorney if you are going through a Bankruptcy.

Eric Ruff is a pretty awesome lawyer and person, here's why:

From the start he was very nice and had a great sense of humor. It immediately made me feel comfortable talking to him about my situation. The initial meeting was very informative, as he has a 1 hr long video that is necessary to watch and helps answer alot of initial questions.
Throughout the whole process he always answered all of my questions promptly. He is a very genuine person and was a great pleasure to converse with in our meetings. He ensured that my bankruptcy case was filed with accuracy and made it seem like a walk in the park.
I highly reccomend him to anyone that needs advice in the bankruptcy arena. Thanks again Eric!

Great Lawyer

I can't begin to tell you how thorough, caring, informed and prompt both Eric Ruff and Lisa Cohen were. I was so embarrassed that I was going to have to file bankruptcy and felt like a real loser. The first thing I did was watch a great video that explained everything about bankruptcy and made me feel a little better. Eric educated me about bankruptcy, explained it step by step, treated me like a friend and made me feel that I wasn't such a loser after all. He made himself available and did a wonderful job of looking out for my best interest. If you find yourself in this position I would tell you if you want the very best, call Eric!

I can't begin to tell you how thorough,caring,informed,and prompt both Eric and Lisa were! I felt like a real loser when I realized that I had no choice but to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy, Eric educated me about bankruptcy, explained it step by step, treated me like a friend, and made me feel like I wasn't such a loser after all. Sometimes stuff happens that we have no control over. He was available and did a wonderful job of looking out for my best interest. Call him he's the best!

Eric Ruff
Mr. Ruff is an outstanding attorney and a credit to his profession. He was easy to contact by phone and email. I never had to wait long for him to respond to my questions, and there were many. His video and written instructions throughout the case were particularly helpful. His attention to detail is so great that he even has video instructions for where the best places are to find parking at the courthouse. He makes you feel at ease during a difficult time. I never felt like I was just another client even though he is very busy. I would recommend him to anyone considering filing for bankruptcy protection.

Patience and Expertise
It is clear from the start that Mr Ruff has been doing this a long time. Nobody likes to file for bankruptcy, and even the paperwork can seem daunting, but Mr Ruff has combined his knowledge and experience to make the situation more bearable. He has a series of videos that take you, step by step, through the entire bankruptcy process, up to and including how to drive to the courthouse, even where to park. That last detail was the one that helped me most, actually. I have some cognitive impairment that makes navigating even in such a small city as Gainesville challenging, even using GPS. His last video shows precisely how to get to the courthouse. The night before my courtdate I watched that video at least 30 times, trying to push the directions into longer-term memory. Because of that video I was able to make it to the courthouse on time without getting lost once ... which, trust me, is a rarity for me. Simple visual instructional videos that let me know what to expect, where to go, and the entire process. It didn't make bankruptcy any more fun, but it did make it make me much better prepared. I couldn't be more grateful.

Eric did a great job from day one. He was careful and meticulous in explaining the pros and cons of bankruptcy and how it would apply to my situation. Services provided with a good sense of humor at no extra cost!

Bankruptcy Review
Eric Ruff is the most competent bankruptcy atty. one could ever entrust their financial future to. I wasted four valuable hours of his time set aside for my filing by not doing a necessary legal document that would protect $400 monthly income. He would not allow me to file without it. It prolonged filing by weeks, but thanks to this very knowledgeable professional, I now have a full discharge of debt and $400.00 a month income the court did not take as personal property. This is the third time in the last 21 yrs. family members have needed a bankruptcy attorney. His step by step video presentation, keeping me updated, courteous and helpfulness over the phone took away any concerns.

I have known Mr. Ruff for over 20 years. I am now a practicing lawyer, having retired from the bench after 23 years as a state court judge. Mr. Ruff practiced before me when I was a County Court Judge and when I was a Circuit Judge. He is an excellent lawyer and I highly recommend him. He also has that same very good reputation throughout the legal community.

I have known Eric Ruff for over 20 years. I retired from the bench after more than 23 years as a county court judge and as a circuit judge. Mr. Ruff appeared before me in numerous areas of civil litigation in state court. He now specializes in Bankruptcy. Although that is a matter of Federal Jurisdiction, I am aware that he has an excellent reputation in that area and I would highly recommend him.

I have known Mr. Ruff for over 20 years. However, in full disclosure, my wife is the Cohen in Ruff & Cohen.Eric is a phenomenal writer and has great research skills. I am a bankruptcy trustee, and know that the other trustees view Mr. Ruff's work product as high quality, accurate, complete. and may be taken at face value. There is no higher praise in the debtor bankruptcy business. He is certainly worthy of an AV rating.
