Avoid if SAHM

Consulted Sally in DV abuse/custody case. Sally quickly managed down my expectations, despite our having a fairly high level of combined assets. She gave me a very poor outlook for settlement and any future for myself and our children. I was informed I'd likely end up in poverty, and have a hard... time finding even a minimum wage job I got the feeling that being a SAHM was something she didn't respect or approve of and as a result didn't have much sympathy or concern. I left Sally's office terribly discouraged. Thankfully her viewpoint was not shared by the other lawyers I consulted. I don't doubt Sally's competence, just her motivation in advocating for SAHM's in high conflict cases.

Sincere support and professionalism during difficult times.

Sally Rutzky provided exactly what was needed for my divorce and custody case. She was reliable and forthright, keeping me informed about the details of the case and any potential hurdles. I felt comfortable venting my frustrations and worries to her, which she was able to handle with sincerity and c...alm. Having her listen and walk with me through the difficult months made it much easier to handle the court sessions and unexpected trouble. Her legal knowledge and professionalism, both in and out of the court room, created a strong sense of trust that proved well founded. Finally, she was excellent with my children and helped them feel they (and their mother) were in good hands throughout the entire process.

Sally Rutzky, exceptional divorce attorney

Sally was a fantastic divorce attorney, being exceptionally helpful and calming during an extremely difficult time in my life. It was not only her experience as an attorney that helped but she also had personal advice to help temper and calm the many situations I ran into. I always trusted her and st...ill do, I always felt she was looking out for my best interests and wanted to bring the divorce to an end as quickly and cost effectively as possible. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone going through as difficult a divorce as i went through.

"Sally always has her eye on what her clients truly need. Her focus on collaboration and problem solving is refreshing and well-needed in a field where parties can get entrenched in their positions and lose track of their goals. I absolutely endorse Sally."
