Ruth Elizabeth Wyman

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

Divorce case with abuse and child endangerment concerns. I hired one attorney just before Covid, she quit. I had to them hire another, and chose one based on general local recommendations - but she allowed my abusive ex’s attorney to drag the case in for 2 years, and HUGE bills. She would forget conv...ersations, and forget to file things. I couldn’t officially switch attorneys again mid-case, so I paid for a very affordable consult with Ruth twice. I got more information and help from her in those brief consults than I did in 2 years with my regular attorney. Knowing what I know now- I will only ever recommend Ruth!

My family hired Ruth for my brother in a serious criminal case. The entire process was over two years, while there were many challenges Ruth was informative and diligent. She kept us informed, provided us with direct responses and contact information. Although it was a trying time she treated us as i...f we were her family. I highly recommend and encourage anyone to use her from life planning needs to more sensitive situations.

I hired Ruth Wyman to represent me in a case of stalking initially to obtain protection no contact order and two years later to extend it. I could not have expected anymore professional, thorough, care_full service from her and her office, both as a professional service that was meticulous in collect...ing detailed evidence and as in a professional service that was full of care about my wellbeing through this process. Her office staff was also incredible, in documenting evidence , her appearance in the court and presentation of my case, everything that happened before and during the court could not have been done any better. Ruth Wyman is a superb lawyer that I highly recommend.
