Posted by Bill | February 21, 2026 | Hired Attorney

Ruth will not fight for you. Only do everything she can to take as much money as she can

Ruth is a horrible attorney. Was never on time to court. She will not listen to anything you have to say and will not use any evidence in court you give her. But she will charge you for things she never did. Her office people are rude to you. You will make you feel dumb. Ruth Wyman really took adv...antage of my money and never helped my case once. I had to fire Ruth Wyman. I strongly would not recommend Ruth Wyman to anyone. All Ruth cares about is your money.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
