Matthew has demonstrated his talent in the area of criminal defense for over 15 years. I have referred clients to him on multiple occasions and in each case he has exceeded all expectations. In the most recent case, matthew was hired to defend a young student in an under the influence case in Los Angeles. He was able to get all charges dropped which allowed her to move on with her life unhindered by the stigma that a criminal conviction would cause.

He saved me from losing my license. He answers questions and emails reminders and updates. I will tell friends and family to use him.

Matthew Ruff is an honest, straightforward, and knowledgeable attorney. He has strong communication skills, and is able to use his knowledge of the entire legal system to win my case.

In October I find my girlfriend and myself arrested on false charges for assault to commit great bodily harm. Well defending ourselves we end up getting arrested. We bailout call a friend that refers me to Mr Ruff. Say's he's are man. We meet and hire him that same day. He advised us what do. He prepared our case and presented it. We will be home with my family and friends for the holidays.what more could we ask for. If your in Torrance Courthouse He's the lawyer your looking for. Two Thumbs Up. May you and your Family have a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! God Bless and again thank you.

Iv acquired David in two different situations and in both cases he has got the case dismissed David is awesome very professional and let you know what's going on throughout the case I've been truck driving for 11 years now and he's by far the best attorney I've acquired to date thank you David for all your hard work

I was being charged with HS 11352 (very serious). I did not sell anything and had nothing in my possession. Someone else sold drugs to a under cover police officer and I was just there. Anyhow, I was arrested and charged. I Found a lawyer to represent me. The lawyer that I hired didn't do anything, he just collected my money and wanted to walk me into a felony plea for a crime I did not commit. He told me that if I didn't plea, I would get a heavier sentence. A day before my Preliminary, I fired that lawyer and hired Pat Carey. Pat is very knowledgeable and he is a straight shooter. He is a real attorney who is here to really get the best results possible for his clients. Pat Carey got my charges dismissed and preserved my future. Pat put in a lot of time and effort and arranged meetings with the D.A. Thank God there are honest and competent people such as Pat Carey. I highly recommend Pat Carey. After my experience, I just really want to let people know, that if your in bad situation, do yourself a favor and get the highest quality of a lawyer like Pat Carey from the start. I cant not even write a review that expresses how great Pat Carey is. He saved my life.

I had a helpless DUI case and retained Pat as my second lawyer. The first lawyer told me I had to do 9-month program and my case was lost. Pat filed a motion that scared the DA in giving me a wet reckless. Now I dont have to get that breathalyzer installed in my car! Thank you Pat!

I called Matthew Ruff the day after I had issues and he returned my call within the same day. He immediately walked me off the metaphorical ledge and told me to let him worry about my case so that I could heal from my car accident. Matt kept in touch throughout the process and I was prepared for my actual day in court. On that day, Matt was able to negotiate a wet reckless despite the fact that I had a high BAC and a major car accident. His skills as an attorney and relationships within the court system make him your best choice for an attorney. I will still have to face many of the same penalties and consequences as a normal DUI, but can now continue with my professional licensing and international travel as a result of Matthew Ruff's fine work.

From the beginning of the process to the very end, David was a very pleasant person to work with. Dealing with my first ever citation, David was very understanding to the situation and kept me informed and educated. His knowledge and confidence is very comforting, and most importantly he gets results!! I have nothing but great things to say about David - would recommend him to anyone!

I was ticketed by l.a county sheriff. the end result was no court fines,no dmv points. great work, always kept me informed, very satisfied

I got caught speeding by a CHP motor cop north bound on the 710. The officer seemed personally offended by my Harley and the MC Patch I was wearing. He wrote on my citation that he had paced me at 112 mph. The officer wrote me up for both excessive speed & reckless driving; a misdemeanor charge. David explained that if convicted I could be fined thousands, lose my license, and carry 2 points on my DMV record for 10 years! David had the patience and took the time to listen to my concerns and special circumstances. He advised me of my options and the possible outcomes, based on his courtroom experience. David was present for each of my court appearances, advising me if & when my presence would be beneficial to my case. Working with the DA, David was able to have my misdemeanor reckless driving and excessive speed charges reduced to a simple speeding conviction. The result left me with 1 point on my record for 2 years and some community service. Lets face it, given the situation and possible outcomes, hiring David definitely paid for itself. I am absolutely satisfied with my decision to retain him, I will recommend him without hesitation, and I continue to have access to his counsel as I complete my community service.

I hired David Dastrup to represent me for a traffic ticket. During the initial consultation, his superior knowledge of California laws and legal system transformed my feelings form being stressed, to becoming confident. David was not only very professional, but personable as well. I immediately knew I had hired the right attorney. David was very thorough in explaining the legal process that was going to take place. David’s work resulted in my case being DISMISSED, including NO COURT FINES and NO DMV POINTS. My case was closed. I would highly recommend David to anyone. You’re not going to find a better attorney.
