It was a pleasure working with Ruth and her staff on this most difficult case. I felt I was in good hands the entire time. I consider The Cate Law Firm one of the top Law firms the upstate. I would definitely recommend The Cate Law Firm to friends and relatives regarding Family Law.

Ruth has represented us several times over several years. I can't begin to express the gratitude my wife and I have for her, Maggie, Amy, Rachel and the rest of her team. Ruth is very direct, efficient, compassionate and gets results and that's not mentioning the fact she's brilliant, always over prepared for a case and as knowledgeable as one can be. Nothing is more important than family and there's no one else I'd ever trust with a family court case.

This law firm has truly been a blessing to my family. Very compassionate & supportive. Emails and phone calls are returned almost immediately. Dependable,work very hard for your best interest.My case had been ongoing for almost 3 years. After hiring this law firm my case was resolved in a few months. You do not get just an attorney when Ruth Cate represents you, you get a whole team fighting for you! I can finally breathe. I highly recommend Mrs. Cate.Only wish I would have contacted her sooner!

Ruth had a way of making a very stressful & emotional time less so. I was always treated with the utmost respect. My questions(there were many) were always answered quickly & with concern for my well-being. There's no doubt Ruth did all she could for me & the results she sought were achieved. Her paralegals always took the time to help me along the way. Ruth never hesitated to be sure I understood the entire process. I am grateful to God for Ruth and all involved in my case for all they did.

Excellent staff. Quick to respond to questions. Very precise and attention to detail of your case. She cares about your well being and very much for your future as well as your children's outcome. I have recommended her to anyone going through a divorce. I was very pleased.

Ruth and her staff are excellent. She was very considerate of my emotions during my divorce, and she provided excellent service and communication throughout the entire process. She also advised me along the way in areas I could save money on the entire process (settlements, switching my case to a no-fault divorce, etc), but I always had the final decision on how to proceed. She won my case and I was awarded exactly what she said she could get for me.

Ruth did an excellent job. She was ethical in her approach and did her best to push for a resolution as quickly as possible. Her and the members of her team did their best in making me feel as comfortable as possible while discussing intimate details surrounding information needed to address some unfounded allegations. I would highly recommend Ruth Cate to anyone wanting an honest and ethical attorney.
