Would definitely recommend!

Amy helped me during some very difficult times and I very much appreciated her expertise. She listens and is empathetic to your needs and is a great advocate to have on your side. She is the lawyer you want to have to get things done in a timely and fair manner. I couldn't have done it without her....

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.

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."
