Would not reccomend

Amy understands and is knowledgeable about the law. However, I would not consider her an advocate or good counsel. She would not fight for me or my kids and backed down so she looked good to the other attorneys and court staff. She is not well respected in the family law circuit and often instead of ...giving good advice would tell me the law and then tell me to decide. This went for appearances as well. When asked if I should have her there or not she would leave it up to me. Then when we would go she absolutely was not needed and I'm sure she was aware of this but wanted billable hours. Please look elswhere. I did better on my own then having her as an attorney. I do have a new attorney now and he us better priced is willing to fight, is well respected, will give advice, cares about us, isnt interested in sucking up hours I could go on. Find an attorney that really cares about what you are going through and understands that not everything is black and white especially when it comes to relationships and people. She once told me that the family court doesnt care about how my kids feel. This is absolutely wrong and because she made me believe that I didnt reach out to the friend of the court. The friend of the court ended scolding me for not calling and explaining how my kids felt about the situation. She doesnt understand or possibly even care about people. If you are looking for someone to do something simple for you like recite a law or file a motion she would be expensive but would suffice. If you are looking for someone to truly advocate for you then this is not the attorney for you.

A High Lawyer Recommendation - Amy Ruby

I had hired Ms. Ruby in a divorce case because child support issues had been dragging on for years which needed resolution. She worked diligently on my case to push resolution while the other party kept stalling. She is very intelligent, professional, efficient and thorough with facts; outshined m...y ex's slimly lawyer.

Knowledgeable, professional, highly recommend!

Ms. Ruby represented me on an incident involving my dog. She was very friendly, professional and presented a strong defensive case. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through ever step of the process. I highly recommend her!!

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.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."
