Very professional

From the start Amy had game plan to follow and everything I need in order to get custody of my child. She was very professional and well educated through many and multiple situations through our my case. End the end, things worked in my favor and I wouldn't have been able to achieve this if it wasn't... was for Amy.

Custody case

Amy was able to get me full custody of my child. She explained everything in detail to me which helped ease my nerves for my court appearance.

Amy Takes the High Road

Amy is a great listener and excellent communicator; I would not have accepted anything less when it came to securing my future with my child. Above all, Amy knows the law and, really, the law IS your best friend in this. Custody is an emotionally charged and overwhelming issue; it's easy to make rash... decisions. Up against less ethical parties, one might be tempted to drag the proceedings into the mud and start swinging. But that is a weak position. You need a lawyer who will process all of that emotional content and hold it up to the light of its relevance to the letter of the law. You need a lawyer who knows and is committed to that framework, someone with a deep knowledge and a true respect for procedure. The strongest position you can take in an emotionally charged case is fighting the battle on the sturdy planks of our legal framework. That is called taking the high road. Amy Ruby knows that framework well and fights for you on those strongest of terms. I had tremendous confidence all along the way thanks to her expertise. I am deeply pleased with the outcome. It's everything I wanted.

Excellent

My husband and I had many questions about a custody situation. Amy provided information we had not even considered. She was knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend her and will use her services in the future when the timing is right.

"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."
