My experience

Amy went out of her way to help me during my consult. She spent an hour out of her day with me. She was so pleasant, and super friendly. She put me on the correct path to deal with my divorce. I'm so thankful for her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help.

Great Consultation

Amy Ruby helped my Friend by Answering all the questions she had. Also, I had a few questions myself and she answered them right away and we both could tell she knew exactly what she was talking about. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Supreme Attorney & Counsel Amy Ruby

Upon the complete breakdown of my marriage of 20 years I was completely lost and was unsure of where to turn or even how the process works, I was given Amy's contact info from a close friend and I made the decision to call, she got me into her office right away and she listened to my concerns, listen...ed to the things that were going on in my life, during that initial visit i was really in need of someone to listen to me, someone to verify that what i was going through was not normal, for me this was the lowest point of my life, i know that she could sense i was not emotionally well, she made sure that i was positive this was what i wanted and then it was if she took the weight of the world off my shoulders, she took over everything, i told her that she had to protect me from myself because i was about to lay down and roll over, I could write all day about the personal side of her, on the legal side i was blown away by her intellect and vast knowledge of the laws the courts the custody, she is very well prepared, very confident, she instilled confidence in me that i didn't even know i had, she doesn't hesitate to finish the little details she attacks everything like an athlete, phone calls, emails, faxes etc, i never felt uninformed or unaware of the next steps or the potential hang ups. she was sensitive, thoughtful and detailed. Amy fought my case as if i were a part of her family. there was at least one instance where i walked into her office with a major concern and no appointment and she was able to resolve the issue that day.

Knowledgeable

My case was a custody and parenting time case. Amy was very helpful in getting me the time I deserve with my son. Fortunately we settled out of court and were able to come to an agreement mostly to my benefit.

"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."
