Excessive Force
Defend your rights against police misconduct with experienced legal help for excessive force cases and justice for victims.
Excessive Force
If you or someone you care about has been harmed by excessive force used by law enforcement, you don’t have to face this situation alone—The Ruiz Law Firm is here to fight for you! Excessive force incidents occur when law enforcement officers go beyond what’s reasonable or necessary, often causing serious injuries, emotional trauma, or even death. In these complex cases, having a knowledgeable, dedicated attorney by your side can be vital for holding responsible parties accountable and pursuing the justice you deserve.
Law enforcement officers are sworn to protect, and they must exercise restraint, using only the minimum amount of force required. But when officers cross this line, using tasers, chokeholds, batons, or even firearms against individuals who pose no immediate threat, this abuse of power must be addressed. The Ruiz Law Firm specializes in examining the specific details of these incidents to determine if your rights were violated and, if so, to build a powerful case for justice.
For excessive force claims, legal action can take multiple routes, including federal civil rights claims under Section 1983 of the U.S. Code, which is designed to protect against civil rights violations, as well as state claims. We understand that police misconduct cases come with unique challenges, such as the qualified immunity law enforcement officers often rely on. Our expertise in this area helps us navigate these barriers, giving your case a strong advantage.
Early on, collecting and preserving critical evidence, such as video footage, witness statements, and police reports, can make a world of difference. We can help you access and secure this information, ensuring it’s reviewed and protected. The Ruiz Law Firm knows how to overcome the delays and challenges often encountered when dealing with law enforcement agencies, and we work hard to uncover the full truth.
If you’ve lost a loved one due to excessive force, our firm can also help your family pursue a wrongful death claim. We are committed to securing compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, and emotional pain. Beyond financial recovery, taking legal action can shine a light on harmful practices within law enforcement, pushing for accountability and positive change to help prevent future abuses.
We know how overwhelming this journey can be, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our team is passionate about defending your rights and helping you find the justice and peace of mind you deserve. With us by your side, you’re not just fighting back—you’re standing up for change and justice. Let us be your voice in this battle.

Federal Criminal Defense
Hiring a federal criminal defense lawyer is crucial when facing charges in federal court. The federal criminal justice system is highly complex and often much harsher than state-level criminal systems. Federal cases can involve intricate laws and regulations, as well as lengthy investigations conducted by highly skilled and well-resourced law enforcement agencies.
These cases can also attract significant media attention, which can have serious consequences for those involved. Given the high stakes involved in a federal criminal case, it is important to hire a skilled and experienced federal criminal defense lawyer.
The attorneys at Ruiz Law Firm have specialized knowledge of federal law, procedures, and tactics, as well as experience with the specific judges and prosecutors involved in federal cases. We help defendants navigate
The legal process and develop a strong defense strategy, while also providing support and guidance throughout the process.

attention in recent years. Excessive force by law enforcement officers can result in injury or even death.
Police Brutality
Civil Rights
Our Police brutality is a serious issue that has received increased attention in recent years. It refers to the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers, which can result in injury or even death. Despite legal protections against such conduct, police brutality continues to occur, particularly in cases involving racial minorities, the mentally ill, and other vulnerable populations.
Victims of police brutality may be entitled to legal remedies, such as civil lawsuits, criminal charges against the offending officers, and disciplinary action within the police department. It is important to be aware of your legal
rights and take appropriate action if you or someone you know has been a victim of police brutality. In order to prevent future incidents, law enforcement agencies must also be held accountable for the actions of their officers and implement reforms to address underlying issues such
as training, bias, and accountability.

MEET THE RUIZ LAW FIRM WARRIOR ATTORNEYS
ALBERTO RUIZ
As the owner/lead attorney of the Ruiz Law Firm, and a Marine Corps. Veteran, Mr. Ruiz has earned a strong reputation for his tough, smart and compassionate legal representation of those involved in accidents, immigration and civil rights cases..
ALBERTO RUIZ
Attorney At Law
Attorney Ruiz’s past is what truly provides a real insight into how he became the dedicated attorney he is today.
“I’ve been working with disadvantaged communities and social justice initiatives since I was around 15-years-old in Washington DC. That grew into some recognition when I got into the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and I began fighting to keep my University open.
At the time the city was considering moving UDC district from its very prestigious location to a location that was in a worse part of town. A group of students protested and we ended up convincing the City Council to reject the measure.
Through that work I became recognized within the community and DC council member Adrian Fenty, where I began working more with social justice initiatives with the Latino community in particular.
That ultimately led me to working with a lawyer in Dallas named Domingo Garcia, he hired me to advocate for immigrant rights. We were able to get a street named after American civil rights leader Cesar Chavez and made a lot of strides to help immigrants and disadvantaged minorities in general.”
All of these experiences catapulted Ruiz into law school. He graduated from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University, Today, as an attorney, he’s humbled to be able to help people from all walks of life with their legal issues.
The Ruiz Law Firm has a robust team of lawyers and paralegals who focus on personal injury, auto and work accidents, auto accidents, while also covering criminal and immigration law cases at his office in Pearland, Texas.
“The reason my office covers the mix of those areas is because, for one, I’m a bilingual attorney, I myself am bilingual and from my understanding maybe one percent of all lawyers in Texas are truly bilingual themselves. Many have bilingual secretaries or other workers within the office who can speak another language, but very few attorneys themselves are fluent in Spanish at the level that I am.
I started my law career covering mainly personal injury cases, but overtime I realized that people needed more than just an accident attorney. At the time, I would try to give my best recommendations for attorneys that would cover other areas of the law that I thought would be a good fit for my clients wishes, however, many of them would come back to me and complain that no one would return their calls and never even got the chance to meet with another attorney.
In contrast, my office provides a very direct link to me and my clients. Most of my clients have my cell phone number, and I demand that my staff return phone calls as quickly as possible while remaining educated on the particular client, their family, and the cases that they’re involved in.
Another aspect of the Ruiz Law firm that sets them apart from others in the same field is Ruiz’s creativity. Besides being an amazing attorney, Ruiz is also an author. He described how his first passion was always writing, and he’s even published books to maintain that passion as he grew older.
“Having a passion for writing as an attorney is very important. Being able to write descriptively and clearly aids you when presenting the intricacies of a client’s case and their experience. I always analyze the details of my cases so that I can explain them effectively. Although a lot of attorneys are good writers, the creative aspect of writing is what helps me emphasize the pieces of a case necessary to be successful in court.”
Ruiz’s social media presence as well as his firm’s website reflect his creativity as well, and assist him when it comes to marketing the services they provide. His ability to be multifaceted in his skills allows him to utilize the pieces of his creativity for the gain of his clients.
Attorney Ruiz has traveled extensively since he was a young child. From his birthplace of Saginaw, Michigan, the avid cultural enthusiast has visited, studied, and worked in Russia, France, Italy, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Canada, and numerous states throughout the Union.
He has worked with a multitude of clients injured in all kinds of accidents. He is also well-known for his agility in immigration law and represents clients before the Immigration Courts and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), as well as the National
Visa Center (NVC.
His unique experience and knowledge set him apart but it is his attentiveness to client communication that has become the hallmark of his work. Attorney Ruiz believes that helping his clients is a calling, not just his profession, and his availability to his clients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week is a testament of his dedication to his craft. Client questions and concerns are always addressed promptly. He provides quick, honest, and direct responses to questions. He lets his clients know where they stand today, and collaborates with them to develop the best legal strategy to attain the outcome they desire.
Mr. Ruiz graduated with a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. He completed Mediation training in accordance with Texas law and has received recognition and numerous awards for his distinguished service to his clients, including being selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers for consecutive years.

RAUL (RUDY) NATAVIDAD
Attorney Natavidad has worked diligently over his lifetime to serve the public. He strives to bring a better life to those around him, from serving in the Marine Corps, working as a police officer for twenty years, and then finding his passion for law.
RAUL (RUDY) NATIVIDAD
Attorney At Law
Mr. Raul Morales Natividad was born on the “east side” of Lubbock, TX. Rudy is a compassionate advocate because he had a tough upbringing, which taught him to be kind to others and value his opportunities. He spent his youth in and out of Juvenile court, with no positive future in sight. At the age of 17, he decided he needed a way to change his path, that’s when he was introduced to the United States Marine Corps.
After basic training and through distinguished service, Rudy was assigned to HMX-1 (Marine One) security for the President of the United States (Regan and George W. Bush). While in the Corps he realized that if he sacrificed and had the right mindset, he could accomplish anything. In 1992, he was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps.
Shortly after returning home from his military service, Mr. Natividad joined the Corpus Christi Police dept. where he rose through the ranks and became a field training officer. He also worked in various areas of law enforcement from patrol to vice and narcotics, gang enforcement, and various areas of investigations.
While at the police department he began to focus on the importance of continuing his education. He worked many night shifts to attain his bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from Texas A&M Corpus Christi. After serving the community as a police officer for nearly 20 years, Rudy realized his passion for the law had become more complex and that his experience could be helpful to those facing criminal charges and other kinds of legal issues.
In 2009, he began attending Texas Southern Thurgood Marshall, School of Law, where he realized his dreams of transitioning from the police force to an environment where he could explore his interest in many areas of law, including criminal law, Immigration, family law, and civil rights.
After graduating from law school in 2012, Rudy set out to “hang his own shingle”, and vigorously represented clients in the Houston area, Ft. Worth, Dallas, and Lubbock, among others. He was then hired to work for an Immigration firm in Houston, where he primarily focused on representing immigration clients, both detained and non-detained, before the Houston Immigration Court, and helped the firm start and maintain a successful Criminal division.
Now, the Abogado Ruiz Law Firm is proud to have Mr. Natividad on staff taking the lead on a wide array of criminal and immigration matters. His unique talent for researching case law and ability to quickly identify evidence favorable to clients sets him apart in the courtroom. At the Abogado Ruiz Law Firm, we handle cases that other firms refuse to take on because we take the time to listen to our client’s side of the story. With Mr. Natividad’s background and discipline, coupled with Mr. Ruiz’s dedication to providing the highest quality representation at a fair cost, we’re improving lives one client at a time!

When Immigration Status and Criminal Charges Meet
Criminal immigration is a dynamic and growing field of law that deals with the overlap between criminal law and immigration law. It’s perhaps the most important development in immigration law today, as the war on terror has blurred the distinction between these two areas of law, becoming an often abusive social control tool for immigration law enforcement. Many criminal law attorneys do not understand the differences between representing citizens and immigrants. Often immigration lawyers have to retain the counsel of a criminal attorney to assist them in handling criminal immigration matters.
At the office of Abogado Ruiz Law Firm, PLLC, our attorneys are both immigration law and criminal law attorneys. They understand how the consequences of criminal activity affect immigration and how federal, state, and local infrastructures, such as law enforcement and secure communities, are used for immigration enforcement. They know how to identify illegitimate, illegal, and unconstitutional use of the criminal justice system as a method of deportation and removal.
In fact, Attorney Natividad was an active police officer for 20 years. He now uses his unique insight into the procedures of law enforcement to focus on suppression issues in criminal arrests. Raul (a.k.a. Rudy) and our team of legal professionals can walk you through the legal process while aggressively arguing against any violations of your rights.

Non-Citizen Criminal Defense Issues
If you or a loved one is a non-citizen facing criminal charges, a conviction can result in deportation. Even long-term residents are routinely deported from the U.S. for criminal convictions or long-ago offenses that have been discovered. A criminal record can also make you inadmissible to the U.S., preventing you from coming back to visit your friends or family. Even minor charges can affect your ability to get a green card.
If you are a U.S. citizen accused of helping immigrants get into the country, or providing housing for them, you may need a qualified criminal immigration lawyer. It is a felony to assist someone who you know is in the U.S. illegally by providing transportation or shelter, or simply helping them get a job.

Police Brutality Civil Rights

Police Brutality
Civil Rights
Police brutality is a serious issue that has received increased attention in recent years. It refers to the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers, which can result in injury or even death. Despite legal protections against such conduct, police brutality continues to occur, particularly in cases involving racial minorities, the mentally ill, and other vulnerable populations.
Victims of police brutality may be entitled to legal remedies, such as civil lawsuits, criminal charges against the offending officers, and disciplinary action within the police department. It is important to be aware of your legal rights and take appropriate action if you or someone you know has been a victim of police brutality. In order to prevent future incidents, law enforcement agencies must also be held accountable for the actions of their officers and implement reforms to address underlying issues such as training, bias, and accountability.
Fighting to Seek Justice for All
Civil and constitutional rights are fundamental protections afforded to individuals under the law, and legal representation is often necessary to ensure that these rights are upheld. These rights include the right to free speech, the right to due process, and the right to be free from discrimination, among others. However, these rights are not always respected, and violations can occur in a variety of contexts, including employment, housing, and law enforcement.
In many cases, individuals who have experienced such violations may need to seek legal representation to protect their rights and seek redress. Legal representation can help to ensure that the rights of the individual are safeguarded, and that the responsible parties are held accountable for their actions. It is crucial to have knowledgeable and experienced legal professionals on your side in these situations, as they can navigate complex legal procedures and advocate for your best interests. By seeking legal representation, individuals can work to protect their civil and constitutional rights and ensure that justice is served.

Probate Law Wills & Estate
Planning to transfer one's assets upon death is a type of preparation
for the future that many people put off. We can help get your affairs in order today
Probate and Wills
Inheritance
Planning to transfer one's assets upon death is a type of preparation for the future that many people put off. A person can be very responsible in almost any other way but neglect this area because it forces one to contemplate the inevitable. However, if you postpone, you may lose the opportunity to establish a plan that will carry out your intentions and transfer your assets upon death most efficiently and effectively.
At the law practice of Abogado Ruiz Law Firm, PLLC, we can help you in all areas of estate planning and administration. We can make sure every detail is covered so you can leave the legacy you want.
Texas Estate Planning
Attorney Ruiz and his staff can help you prepare for the future by exploring or reviewing estate planning options with you. For many adults, paying attention to proper estate planning is a smart way to ensure that their ultimate intent is clearly followed in their absence. We can also help establish tutoring and trust instruments. Each state has its own estates or wills and trust laws, Texas rules are complex, and having a legal interpreter is essential to help you make informed decisions.
Compile a Will
Your will documents explain how you want your real and personal property to be distributed after you leave. The document must make arrangements for care and guardianship if he is the parent of minor children. His will must appoint an executor, a trusted person who will be legally responsible for ensuring debts are paid and assets are distributed.
Generally, two witnesses are required for a valid will. However, Texas law includes provisions for unwritten or handwritten holographic wills, though they often take longer to validate because a judge must verify the signature. In fact, the state allows wills without handwritten signatures, as well as wills issued to bequeath personal property. However, there are huge hurdles that need to be overcome to prove such cases.
You are not required to hire an attorney, but Attorney Ruiz will review it thoroughly if you have already created one, so you can be sure the document is legally defensible and written correctly to meet your intentions
Inheritance to Liquidate an Estate
Even if you make a will, your estate may have to go through probate to ensure debts and taxes are discharged, money owed is collected, and assets are distributed, although it is possible to avoid the process in Texas if all property passes to a spouse, or if it has already been distributed through trusts, property transfers, co-ownership, or accounts payable on death. Properties worth less than $50,000 also do not have to be proven. Having Attorney Ruiz to help you and your family navigate this process will give you peace of mind, so you can focus on what you are planning.
Attorney Ruiz will be happy to help you organize your matters and has extensive experience handling these areas:
Power of Attorney – The granting of a power of attorney allows a designated person to deal with your personal and business matters if you are unable to handle them, you can limit the power to any particular matter or set of powers. The power of attorney document may limit the designated person to conduct everyday financial transactions, such as banking and billing, or allow broad authority, such as disposition or purchase of assets. No matter which one you choose, you should ensure that you and your designee thoroughly discuss your duty of loyalty and issues of confidentiality. In addition, you can create a medical power of attorney that will allow a designated person to make health care decisions if he becomes incapacitated.
Health Care Decisions – There is a legal mechanism to ensure you receive the health care you want, and no treatment beyond that if you are unable to make your wishes known. Texas recognizes two types of documents in such situations: advance directives describe what kinds of medical measures you want and under what circumstances, while a health care representative appoints someone to make decisions if you are unconscious or in a coma.
Funeral Arrangements – Using a will or letter of final instructions allows you to specify your final wishes; maybe you don't want funeral services or maybe you want to be cremated. If you have registered as an organ donor, make sure your loved ones are aware of your decision. Funeral arrangements can help survivors financially, but complications arise if the mortuary has ceased operations or payments have not taken inflation into account. Consider a trust instead.
Other Considerations
You will not need to address the estate tax understatement unless your assets are valued at more than $5 million. If you own even a small business, creating an estate plan will facilitate continued smooth operations after your death. A life insurance policy can allow a surviving spouse some financial breathing room; Placing life insurance in a trust will help avoid taxes. You can make sure your pets are taken care of in your will as well.

Breach of Contract
Hiring a breach of contract lawyer is essential when facing a breach of contract situation. When agreements are broken it can have serious consequences for your business or personal affairs
Breach of Contract
What Is Breach Of Contract?
When one or more parties involved in a contract fail to follow the agreed-upon terms, it is considered a breach of contract. This can include using subpar goods, not delivering them, failing to make payments, or not completing a job on time. In such cases, a breach of contract lawyer will assess various factors. They will determine if the contract required the specific performance in question, whether the breach violated Texas breach of contract laws, how the contract was breached, and if any excuses can be made.
Unfortunately, some contracts don't outline the consequences of a breach. In these situations, it is crucial to seek the guidance of a qualified breach of contract lawyer who can help determine the best course of action
Contracts are like the foundation of any business deal, but they can also cause a lot of legal trouble. When someone breaks a contract, a lawyer who specializes in dealing with these situations can step in and make sure the contract is enforced, or defend against a lawsuit.
At the Ruiz Law Firm, our goal is to find a fair way to settle contract disputes. First, our Pearland contract lawyer will check if there is in fact a contract and if it's legit. Even verbal agreements can be legally binding if our lawyer can prove both parties agreed to it. But it's always better to have things in writing. Not all contract breaches are the same. Some are minor, while others are major and can really mess things up. We'll go over different types of breaches and the legal solutions for each.
.
Common Types Of Contract Disputes
Contracts play a crucial role in various transactions, and when they are breached, it can harm both parties involved. Resolving breaches of contract can vary depending on the specific circumstances. Understanding the nature of the breach is essential in determining the appropriate course of action for resolving the dispute. Breach of contract disputes generally fall into four categories, and each category has its own implications and considerations when it comes to seeking reparations or resolving the issue at hand:
- Anticipatory Breach
- Actual Breach
- Minor Breach
- Material Breach
Breaking a contract can happen in different ways. Let's break these down in simple terms:
1. Anticipatory Breach: This happens when one party in a contract says they won't fulfill their part of the deal before the deadline, even though they agreed to it. This can waste time and money, and the other party can seek compensation for the announced breach.
2. Actual Breach: Just like the name suggests, this occurs when a party doesn't meet the contract terms by the due date. They might not finish the job or even start it. If one party refuses to hold up their end, the other party can claim damages for any financial or material losses caused by the breach.
3. Minor Breach: These breaches are less serious and involve small issues. For example, if someone meets the contract terms the morning after they were due, it's usually considered a minor breach as long as everything else is fulfilled. However, if the contract emphasizes the importance of time or has a tight deadline, the breach can become an actual breach. Generally, minor breaches may result in minimal or no damages for the non-breaching party.
4. Material Breach: A material breach occurs when the end result or product is significantly different from what was agreed upon in the contract. For instance, if a design contract produces something completely different from what was requested, or if a delivery contains the wrong type or quantity of goods. These breaches are not about deadlines but rather about the product or service specified in the contract.
We Make It Make Sense To YOU
When it comes to legal matters, contracts can often be overwhelming and filled with complex language and jargon. That's where Ruiz Law Firm comes in to assist you in understanding the terms and conditions of the agreement you're about to enter into. Our extensive expertise and experience in legal matters allow us to solve the complexity of the contract and explain them to you in a way that makes sense.
