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.

Great Attorney

Going through divorce after 24 years of marriage is difficult in many ways. Issues specific to my divorce included custody/parenting time, child support, alimony, and property division. From day one I had 100% confidence in Amy. She is a highly competent, hard working, smart attorney. I had no ...doubt she would fight for my rights in divorce. My main concern as a father in divorce was parenting time. My relationship with my children is very important to me. Amy clearly explained to me my rights as a parent and it was made clear that she was willing to fight for me in order to get a fair agreement. Financially she is very quick on her feet. We had several meetings at her office to discuss property division, alimony, and child support. I am a engineer and good with numbers, at times she was challenging me. At mediation there were a lot numbers going back and forth (property division, child support, alimony). Amy always had a good handle on the financial numbers and that was key to getting a fair settlement. Thanks to Amy I am able to move on with my life and continue to have a good relationship with my children. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone who needs a great attorney to represent them in divorce.

Things worked out better than I ever expected, thanks to Amy Ruby

Divorces can cause a great deal of trepidation and turmoil. Being a man, and finding a good lawyer to represent you and your needs is hard to come across. Especially, handling the difficulties that my case involved. Amy’s demeanor, competency, organization, promptness and professionalism brought a tr...emendous level of reassurance during an emotional chaotic time. She was reachable at just about any time, if I had questions or concerns. She was very flexible with meeting times, due to my hectic work schedule. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate for my son, than Amy. I can’t thank Amy enough for the hard work and dedication she showed me during my divorce and custody battle. Thanks to Amy, my son is right where he belongs. I plan to use Amy again, to handle any issues that have arose since the finalization of my divorce. I don’t want anyone else fighting for my son, then Amy Ruby.
