Reviews for Michael
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Rusing's counterfeit counsel is downright criminal. He creates legal circumstances for unsuspecting clients and then gains your trust when he swoops in to clear up his own mess. Females will not survive this firms sexual predators as their policy is to completely dismiss any complaints of assault. Reconsider.
