Reviews for Ruth
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Great attorney. Very responsive and caring. Complete confidence in her ability.
She was an excellent attorney who had time for her client and their needs.
Ruth and her staff exceeded my expectations. They were easy to work with and very professional in every area. Sandy Greene was very helpful and was there every time I needed her. Ruth has a great staff and she will always be my first choice if I need a lawyer in the future.
She did a good job explaining everything. Her staff was very well organized and helpful. She is going to do her best to settle the case. She is not a cut-throat attorney. She will try to be as fair/reasonable as possible
She really takes the time to know her clients and has their situations. She always keeps her clients interest at heart.
She was not very helpful, didnt answer most of my questions, I had to deal mostly with her paralegal. When I did talk to her it was like she didnt have time for it or my questions.
She even ended up leaving me right before the trial, which caused me to have to get a new lawyer that didnt know my case.
Never would we had expected such poor service and results from a lawyer who was suppose to represent our case. We had high expectations due to her reputation but we were deceived. This was the worse experience. There was never any counseling or coaching. We had to initiate any agreement and make suggestions. Neither Ruth or Rachel were proactive, they just wanted to finish and take our money. They were rude, condescending and at times very unprofessional.Please look elsewhere if you want someone to fight for you and care about your children. This firm does not. They are quick to rush to judgement and were not interested in the true underlying cause of our case. We made a dreadful mistake in hiring this firm and the cost was catastrophic for the children involved.
This lady was extremely unprofessional and awful to deal with. People like this give the legal profession a bad name. Some people only care about money and not justice.
