I was going through a dependency case with my attorney and my child the attorney that was given was Aldo Ruccio he failed to comply with procedures follow rules and he failed me and my family he used our Paint and our broken family to financially gain $10,000 from the government I filed a petition against his motion to the court requesting the money and it wasn’t done properly so nothing ever occurred and he got paid but this is just the beginning if he’s done you wrongContact me at 239-398-4339 I have something in the works

He was court ordered to be my underaged daughter's attorney. She died. He charged money to learn my daughter died. It is actually on the bill saying the cost to learn this. Disgusting!

In October 2019 I was falsely accused of a crime that never occurred. In October 2021 I was falsely convicted of that “crime“ due to the abhorrent representation of Mark Alderuccio. This man sat on every piece of information I gave him. Every piece of exculpatory evidence, every defense strategy, and let every single lie told about me at the trial go unchallenged. The sheriff falsified the police report from top to bottom, vilifying me and impugning my character in every way imaginable, asserting that I confessed to this woman’s accusations. I wanted to have a jury trial, but Mr. Alderuccio was concerned that they may believe the lies that were being told about me. Instead… “You couldn’t have a better judge for a bench trial“ he said to me. Giving me example after example about just how fair minded this judge was, explaining how he’s worked with him since the 90’s — KNOWING full well that “burden of proof“ and “reasonable doubt” don’t even factor in at a bench trial, it all comes down to whoever the judge wants believe. In this case an immigrant from Honduras who “hardly speaks any English“ or a man who admitted to angrily yelling at her for disturbingly him. Who sounds more likable already? I didn’t know any better, I trusted him, I agreed. I couldn’t have known that I’d just hung myself. The sheriff perjured himself on the stand by repeating what he said in the report, that I had admitted to what I was being accused of. Instead of rebutting the sheriffs lie by submitting my 911 call incident detail report which states: 1. “Patrick Fitzgerald… Someone made a false police report about him and he wants to file a report about the report” Mr. Alderuccio Left me to spring it on the judge minutes before the end of the trial, at which point he cried out to the prosecution “Now how am I supposed to believe that?” I was told to return to my seat. I asked Mr. Alderuccio If he submitted that 911 detail report (proving that what I just said on the stand was the true) and he said excitedly “I didn’t have to because you just told him!” As though ANY judge would consider the word of an accused criminal over an official document. The most critical piece of information that needed to be communicated to that judge was the fact that I have denied that anything even happened from the beginning. Mark Alderuccio had proof of that and sat on it. Making matters worse, he made two incriminating motions to dismiss. Arguing that because the sheriff had to wake me, I couldn’t have been aware of a crime, so the case should be dismissed. His voice was cracking both times, he didn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth, and for good reason. Without challenging the judges believe that a crime had occurred, he was arguing in effect that I had committed the crime, forgot about after the fact, and that’s why the charges should be dismissed. Thanks to Mr. Alderuccio, the judge had no other option but to conclude that everything he already believed to be true, was indeed true and convicted me. I saw Mark Alderuccio a week later in his office to ask if there was still time to appeal, something he never even told me was an option. After defending the prosecution and judge as having gone into the trial with an open mind, I attempted to ask a question about the trial to which he angrily cut me off, exclaiming “You were convicted! you can’t second-guess every little thing after the fact!“ Every “little” thing. I have no doubt that man fully expected me to be carted off to jail that day to have nothing more to do with me as he has treated me with utter contempt ever since. These are just a scant few examples, the list goes on and on and on. How many other peoples lives has this man ruined, and how many more will he?

I hired Mr. Alderuccio to help out with a pretty scary and chaotic situation where my family needed a probate attorney. We were worried we would lose everything but Mr. Alderuccio got everything sorted out for us with such ease. I wish we would have only reached out to his firm sooner. But Mr. Alderuccio made us feel a lot better while he worked everything out that needed to be. I’d 100% hire him again. He has over 30 years of legal experience and expertise. He answered all of our questions, and if he couldn't give us an answer to something immediately he would take his own personal time to research and provide us with answers and explanations, ensuring he was able to answer all our questions and provide us with the correct information at all times. He is 100% an asset and I will be referring others to him as well for any legal needs.

PLEASE listen to the negative reviews, they are completely accurate. I felt like I was reading my own frustrations typed out. I suppose he is understaffed and take stop many cases. But that is NOT the fault of the client. I’m sorry you are greedy and want all the money but then cannot provide all the work on the back end. We have spent many thousands and he months and months of time. He is nearly unreachable. When you can get a hold of him, he is literally lost as far as your case goes. You have to resend documents 3-4 times and he is never up to speed when you speak. At least spend 5 minutes reviewing the details of someone’s case before talking to them. He is also short and rude when you question him in any way. SAVE YOUR MONEY. There is a hungrier lawyer out there that will Actually fight for your cause. Not this guy. And let your case intersect with any of the “good old boys” and he might as well be working for them. I could not be less satisfied. We had to call in a friend who is a lawyer for advice and he stated this was “the laziest counsel I have ever witnessed”. On paper it seems like he works for someone else. Does not listen to the clients wishes. Save yourself all the trouble, avoid this guy!

This man is a good attorney, so don't listen to the complainers. He has a vast amount of experience and I found him caring and compassionate about representing me. He made me feel he cared and got me the result I wanted. His staff is also friendly and prompt with responding to my calls for information.

Does not respond to emails and often does not return phone calls. If you do get a hold of him, he makes you feel like you are bothering him. Like he is too busy to talk with you about the cases. Does not keep you updated on your case. I wish I wouldn't of wasted the money hiring him. Could have done better myself. In his defense, he might just have too many cases he's trying. He is short staffed. He does have a lot of experience.
