Ruth Wyman: Your legal advocate.

I am a lawyer that practiced law in Champaign County for over 40 years before I retired. Recently, I had the need to hire an attorney to represent me in a difficult traffic case. I have known Ruth Wyman since she began practicing in 2004. We were often adversaries and I was impressed with her eth...ics, her research and trial preparation, and her courtroom demeanor. She always vigorously represented her clients and was creative in her approach to difficult situations and legal issues. My case involved both a difficult situation and an unusual legal issue. After eight months of negotiations on my behalf, Ruth was effective in obtaining a dismissal of the case before it went to trial. Unlike some attorneys, Ruth enjoys the challenges of being in front of a judge or jury. Her practice includes, among other legal areas: criminal defense, traffic cases, and sometimes family law. Ruth is fluent in both English and Spanish and goes out of her way to assist unrepresented litigants in the courtroom or in the hallways of the courthouse. Ruth whole heartedly believes in justice for all. If you ever need a lawyer, I highly recommended you contact Ruth Wyman. (217) 239-1544

Highly recommended

I went through a traumatic criminal Case that involved DCFS. Ruth Leon, and Sarah were great. Ruth seen my innocence from the very beginning. She went above and beyond and won my case. Ruth always treated me with the upmost respect. She was always upfront and honest about the entire process. After 15... months of her representing me we became more like friends Her rates were also very reasonable

Success!

Ruth was calming and knowledgeable in helping my husband and me through a very difficult time. Her work was prompt as were her responses to our questions and concerns. I was very happy with the reasonable costs that Ruth was completely upfront about. It was a pleasure to work with Ruth on family i...ssues, and we were very pleased with the outcome.
