Great attorney - very professional
Meredith Rucker was just what I needed – she is a fantastic lawyer, and I always felt like I was in great hands. She helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Divorce is never easy but having an amazing attorney to help you, guide you and stand beside you through the process makes it much less stressful. I can’t thank Ms. Rucker enough for all she did for me. I would definitely hire her again.
