Lindsey Bannerman

Firm: Law Offices of Lindsey A. Bannerman
810 Fourteenth Street , Modesto , California 95354
Practice Areas: Adoption, Child Support, Divorce, Domestic Violence, Family , Guardianship and Conservatorship, Family
Our office remains open and accepting new clients.  We offer consultations via Zoom, FaceTime or telephone calls.. I am one of a handful of Certified Family Law Specialists in the Stanislaus and San Joaquin area.  Family law is my favorite area of the law as I greatly enjoy the ability to help people navigate through the court process.  I know that I go to court every day but that my clients don't.  I understand that this process can be overwhelming and often, emotionally driven.  My job is to be certain that my clients understand best case scenarios and worst case scenarios so that they can make smart decisions that will positively benefit them in the long-run.  I am naturally honest, sometimes brutally honest.  I am a small-business owner, a wife, a mom and part of a blended family.  I love technology and I use it to maintain the best level of communication with my clients possible.  My clients are almost entirely referral based due to my reputation in this area as a strong advocate with a very specialized knowledge of family law and our local judges.

Matthew Boasts one of the highest success rates for dismissal in Torrance Court and prosecutions from cities such as Redondo Beach, Hermosa, Rancho Palos Verdes and Long Beach.Put simply, he knows the "ins and outs" of the Criminal Justice system from the police, the D.A. and the Judge hearing the case, giving his clients a distinct advantage when charged with a crime. What also sets Attorney Ruff apart from most other attorneys is the fact that he gives the client one-on-one attention. He is always available to consult directly, never passing his client's off to a paralegal or legal assistant. He believes his clients deserve this kind of respect. He is known in California as a top criminal lawyer, a zealous defender and an aggressive "FIGHTER" for his clients. Attorney Matthew J. Ruff is licensed to practice law in the entire State of California, as well as the Federal District Courts in California and the Federal Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeal.
