Attentive and scrupulous

Amy had been a blessing. Her adaptability and flexibility really stood out throughout the entire process. It seemed as if there wasn’t a three hour time difference with how efficient the communication was. Her swift response time and updates always kept me comfortable with staying in the know on my c...ase. Amy’s ability to adapt to odd circumstances, in my situation being MIL, was very impressive. She did not hesitate to research all angles of the case and what was required for MIL to civilian matters. A very personable, reliable and meticulous attorney. Anyone would be wise to consult/hire her for their legal matters. Would give 6/5 stars if I were able.

Divorce

Amy is an amazing attorney, she helped me every step of the way and made everything so much easier. She explains what everything means and what I need to do to get the divorce ready.

Excellent Lawyer

Before I went with hiring Ms. Ruby, I had interviewed four lawyers with Family Law background. Only she took ample time learning about my situation & background and understanding how to go about putting together a strong case right from the start. Ms. Ruby proved to be very helpful at every step of... the way during my divorce. The whole process of separation and divorce was challenging and difficult. It dragged in the an emotional aspect into decision making for which I wasn’t ready and didn’t anticipate what-so-ever and there were times of confusion. And that’s when Ms Libby was there to guide me through each step of the way. She had done an excellent job with explaining each possible outcome and strategizing towards a settlement towards my advantage and satisfaction. She is a very good listener and communicates straight forward to the main point. She always kept me up to date with the proceedings and was easily accessible whenever I needed to get in touch with her regarding any questions and inquiries. I’m glad that I went forward with acquiring Ms. Ruby’s help and expertise. She is intelligent and a VERY Smart lawyer. And I’m confident that she will continue to show same level of care and dedication to all of her clients.

High Tech Recruiter

I contacted Amy Ruby about advise regarding divorce. She was concise, informative and detailed in her explanation about the process and what each step meant in the process. She followed up confirming our discussions and was prompt with documents and instructions all along the way. She guided with ...options and gave clarity to each option provided. Amy was supportive and gave me the information needed to take a lot of the anxiety out of the process. On the day of court she provided everything needed and reiterated the process of the court proceeding. Her demeanor was confident and reassuring. She helped me feel more comfortable in the stressful situation.

Professional and Knowledgable!

Amy was very helpful and a great listener. She heard my story and situation out and gathered tons of notes. Her follow-up on everything was on point. In court she was professional yet direct and to the point. She explained everything that was going on so I was not caught off guard. I came to her wi...th a very rough situation and I never had to question her abilities or knowledge. She was honest and real and didn't sugar coat what could happen so I was not sidetracked. Very happy with my decision to use Amy in this very personal and hectic time in my life.

"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."
