Attorney Chung is not only knowledgeable, but incredibly responsive and made sure to answer all questions that I had. After I had an unsatisfactory experience with a different attorney, it was a relief to connect with Attorney Chung. I would (and will) recommend Attorney Chung to anyone seeking an attorney for a family law matter.

I contacted Ruth in late May regarding a custody petition filed by the mother of my 3 year old son. The court proceedings had already begun, I was not in a position to defend myself, losing ground and contacted Ruth at that point. Ruth met me, listened to my situation (I talked for almost 90 min), was willing to take my case, and work on a sliding scale to help accommodate my finances. Having Ruth represent me completely changed the situation. Prior to her I was looking at having a custody settlement that I felt was completely unfair dictated to me. With Ruth’s representation we were able to sign a joint custody settlement that we put forth in three months time. I couldn’t (fairly) ask for more than what we got in settlement and for that I’m very grateful her work.

Ruth was amazing. She responded to me with urgency, efficiency, dedication and effort, I felt safe and confident in her ability and I do not regret and will not hesitate to utilize her skills again. Highly recommend!

Ruth was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and able to answer any questions I had. She handled my case perfectly and professionally and was a joy to work with. She is the best.

ESQ Chung is a very conscientious, thoughtful and thorough lawyer. As my lawyer, she followed up with other lawyers that were dealing with the Agency for Child Services. Consultations were had pertaining to the case. Any research that needed to be done was done. I was always kept in the loop by phone calls and email. Ms Chung's presence the day of the court case eased my mind tremendously and anything I didnot understand was broken down in clear terms for me to understand. I would highly recommend Ms. Chung's services if you are really looking for a good lawyer that is thorough and make you feel supported.

Ruth Chung helped me with my custody and divorce case. Even though the odds were stacked against us, she stuck with the case, she listened to me and believed in me. I continuously felt heard and supported, even when I was a total emotional mess. We kept at it and had an amazing outcome, better than I had ever thought possible. Affordable rates, not your average money hungry lawyer. A trusted and determined advocate for her clients. Very responsive to all communications, and always on time for court appearances and meetings. Amazing human being.

I honestly couldn't have navigated the complicated task of filing for divorce without Ruth's assistance. She was beyond helpful even before I was a client, providing me with resources and guidance to try to understand the divorce process. I quickly realized that I didn't have the capacity to move forward with all the paperwork and going back and forth to the court on my own. I'm so thankful Ruth was available to take me on a client! She was extremely helpful and attentive every step of the way. She kept me up to date on where my paperwork was and checked in on me regularly to ensure I was okay. When I was having difficulty tracking down my ex, she offered to reach out and even called him for the paperwork. I'm officially divorced thanks to Ruth! I can't recommend her enough if you're looking for an excellent and affordable lawyer with expertise on divorce and separation.

I met Ruth when she was working for Court Square Law project– a non-profit organization that provides legal services for low-income individuals. In the middle of my divorce, Ruth decided to start her own law office. She not only offered me to keep representing me during the trial but to maintain the same rate I had agreed with Court Square, which was substantially lower than the market price. This impacted me deeply because it just showed me Ruth's commitment to the hard situation that me and my family were going through. Being an immigrant, without any kind of support or network in the U.S., and little money, her commitment made a huge difference. I felt supported not only legally but also emotionally. On a more technical note, my divorce was extremely complicated. In addition to the normal difficulties of any divorce, one of the main problems we faced during the custody negotiations was triggered by the fact that my ex and I are non-American citizens but our two kids are. Even though this situation required expertise on other areas of the law–i.e., immigration– Ruth was always well-prepared and did the necessary research to be well-informed every time we had to deal with the other party, the mediators, and the judge. I feel lucky I had the chance to have Ruth on my side during this taxing period of my life. She answered my questions in a timely manner and protected my interest in the best way she could giving the circumstances. In summary; a compassionate, well-prepared, knowledgeable, and professional lawyer. I highly recommend Ruth.

Ms. Chung represented me during my divorce. Obviously, this was a very hard time for me and Ms. Chung was not only knowledgeable and professional, but, she made herself accessible. Unlike most lawyers I have worked with in the past on other matters, she has an amazing "bedside manner." I found her to have an uncanny ability to help me unarm myself, but, still fight for what was rightfully mine and ultimately fair to both myself and my ex. We were able to avoid long costly divorce litigation fueled by resentment by taking a more practical approach through settlement. The settlement achieved was one that left me feeling positive and hopeful without adding more undue stress.

I am so thankful that Ruth handled my divorce. She was amazing throughout the whole process; she took time explaining my options on how to proceed, gave me some budget friendly options for filing, and was always quick to reply when I reached out. She frequently checked in on my case as the papers were processing and kept me up to date. I would highly recommend her to any friend in need of a good divorce lawyer.
