Awesome lawyer!

I needed a lawyer to have my alimony reduced after I retired. I was referred by another law firm that couldn't take my case to Amy Ruby. Wow, I'm so glad I was referred to her! She was professional, easy to talk to, down to earth, and extremely thorough during the entire case. This lady knows her stu...ff! She got my alimony reduced in a timely manner and I'm very happy with the outcome! If you want a winner, go with Amy!!

Help significantly

Amy was great throughout the entire process with my divorce. She was straightforward, honest, and communicated ver well with me. This was a process nobody wants to go through however Amy did make it a little simpler on me.

This Lawyer

Working with Amy Ruby has been an exceptional experience both professionally and personally. As an attorney, she is the epitome of a consummate professional. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, her expertise, diligence, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my cas...e. Beyond her professional excellence, what truly sets Amy apart is the genuine friendship she offered throughout this journey. Her approachable nature and empathetic understanding made an otherwise stressful process much more manageable. She took the time to listen, to understand my concerns, and to provide reassurance when I needed it most. Amy seamlessly blended professional rigor with personal warmth, making me feel supported on all fronts. It’s rare to find someone who excels in their field while also being a true friend, but Amy Ruby is exactly that. If you’re looking for an attorney who will not only represent you with unwavering dedication but also stand by you as a trusted ally, I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Ruby. Thank you, Amy, for your outstanding service and steadfast friendship. Your impact on my life goes beyond the courtroom, and I am profoundly grateful. Joshua Watkins

Excellent representation

Amy was my representation in a divorce case. She was very thorough in walking me through each step and ensuring I was well informed of each step in the process. She was prompt in her communication and ensured all of my questions were answered. Above all else, I felt like I had an advocate every st...ep of the way. 10/10 - I'd recommend Amy to any friend or family member who needs representation to resolve a legal issue.

"I endorse this lawyer. Amy and I handled a very difficult case as opposing counsel. I found Amy to be professional, a good advocate for her client, but still reasonable and easy to deal with so that we could assist our clients by finalizing the matter in a mutually beneficial manner for both of them. I endorse this attorney and I am trying very hard to steal her away from litigation to work with the Collaborative Practice Institute of Michigan, where she would be a great asset."
