Amy Ruby

Amy was my attorney for my recent divorce. During our initial meeting, I walked in not knowing what to expect or for that matter what was even needed to obtain a divorce in Michigan. Amy walked me through the process and started to proceedings. I knew what to expect every step of this journey and al...l agreements were easily understood by me and my ex. She was upfront about the retainer and even agreed to let me make payments, which was nice. My only complaint would be the surprise extra $1300 I owed the day of the final divorce; was not expecting that. I would recommend Amy to any woman contemplating a divorce.

I appreciate your honest feedback, and I apologize for the unexpected additional fees. I do my very best to capture the total cost in each case, but it is nearly impossible to know what may come up along the way. If you would like to discuss this, I am happy to chat with you over the phone or at my office at your convenience.

My attorney is AWESOME!

I am very thankful that I hired Ms. Ruby. I was devastated about getting divorced and thought sure that because I was a guy, I would not get treated fairly in the court. This lawyer exceeded my expectations and represented my interests as a father far beyond my expectations. I found Ms. Ruby to be ve...ry reliable, courteous, prompt, and knowledgeable. Thanks for your professionalism and continuing help.

My Divorce lawyer

Going through a divorce is a tough and hard time. Amy walked me through everything and made me feel so much more at ease. She answered my questions and returned my phone calls in a timely fashion which was huge . I had heard nightmares about attorneys not returning calls but this wasn't the case ...with mine.

My divorce case

I was going through a divorce and didn't know where to start. Amy was very detailed and informative. She kept me up to date on everything and made me feel very comfortable about the situation. Everything was taken care of smoothly. Her knowledge helped me to better understand the things that would ha...ppen or not happen in my case. Very pleased.

To much for what I had done

For what I had to do myself with my case, the cost way more then anticipated. For what little work it seemed she had to do. She is a very nice person, but I don't agree for all I supplied the cost way to much. Way to many errors being sent to the defendant attorney. And after pointing them out, they ...still stayed in there. So paper work had to sent several times. I had a very easy case.

"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."
