Ruth Kim

I was having trouble with recieving child support payments and hired Ruth Kim at the advice of a friend. Suffice it to say I am no longer friends with that person. Ruth Kim bungled my case so badly I not only didn't recieve back payments but future payments were also eliminated. Every motion she file...d seemed to make the situation worse. For the price I was expecting a lawyer that knew her business.

I hired Ms. Kim to guide me through my divorce and deeply regret that decision. Her temperament changed dramatically after the initial consultation, she no longer wanted my input and made me feel stupid for asking basic questions. Her demeanor and even dress upset the judge in our case, which I belie...ve impacted many of the decisions.

On November 15, 2018, the day of the great blizzard, you remember, when NJ/NY residents were stuck in traffic for 5-10 hours, I drove over to Ruth Kim's office for a consultation. It was the best decision I've made in a long time. Ruth, too, weathered the storm, and that's basically the metaphor for ...her zealous advocacy, commitment to her clients, and keen insight into the nuances and harsh conditions of every divorce. In short, she fought for me. What impressed me even more was Ruth's expertise and knowledge of Family Law/Matrimonial Law. I think it's also critical for any client to have faith in their attorney's relationship with the courts--Ruth knows the Hackensack courts, having established respected relationships with clerks, mediators, judges, even her adversaries. Ruth Kim navigated my case through the system about as well as anybody could hope for through a blizzard, through a pandemic. I highly recommend her!

I would like to profusely thank and whole-heartedly recommend Ruth Kim for anyone in need of a divorce attorney. Going on five years, five divorce attorneys, three forensic accountants, and several court-appointed services and many other consultations as well into my divorce got me absolutely nowhe...re but into significant debt, misery and an overall feeling of hopelessness and despair until Ruth Kim took over my case and immediately solved it masterfully within months- and I am now divorced! Mine was a complicated divorce involving a severely affected special needs child, intricate financials, amongst several other very unpleasant issues as well- and all of which no other lawyer had been capable of “wrapping their arms around”. To the contrary, all the previous attorneys contributed to making the already bad situation even worse. Ruth then came in and carefully analyzed and then crafted a legal plan which streamlined the entire process. Ruth completely surpassed the abilities of any other lawyer with whom I had previously appeared in court in front of the judge, and this is due to her compilation of extraordinary talents including her incredible command of the courtroom (which actually blew me away when I witnessed it), superior legal and financial acumen, integrity, pleasantness, confidence, wisdom and compassion. With Ruth as my lawyer, I felt confident as I knew she had my back and my trust, and my life that I felt had previously been taken away from me and replaced with horror began to re-emerge beautifully, and even better than before, with Ruth by my side. Everyone else with whom Ruth hard collaborated on my case to get the job done always circled back to me with glowingly positive feedback about Ruth. The silver-lining of an unfortunately troubled marriage and extremely difficult divorce was meeting and working with Ruth Kim. Also near and dear to my heart is that Ruth’s determined eye never once veered from my son and doing right by him, his extensive and unique needs and his best interest. My special son and I will forever be grateful to Ruth Kim and will always hold a dear place in our hearts for her. We who all of a sudden find ourselves in need of protective divorce services are so incredibly fortunate to have the law firm Ziegler & Zemsky available to us equipped with their talented and compassionate legal staff exemplified by the one and only Ruth Kim who I recommend genuinely from the bottom of my heart! With great appreciation, Lisa

Ruth is an experienced and dedicated family law attorney. I had the privilege of working alongside her for several years and witnessed first-hand what a quality, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney she is. I would not hesitate to refer a family law matter to her, no matter the level of difficul...ty or litigiousness.
