    Great Judge; will let attorneys know beforehand if additional documents are needed in a filing. Very knowledgeable of the law, but still takes the time to actually read briefs.

    I just happened to see this website and I saw the name Wally Ruehle. It took me back to the time I was helping “The Legal Aid Society” of Rochester, NY.
    To me this name Wally Ruehle is a name of a wonderful human being who cares for the weak and helpless and made sure their voice was heard. A man of dignity, integrity and justice who worked day after day diligently to help represent the vulnerable people of our community.
    I congratulate his Hon. Walter Ruehle.
