Very pleased

New to the area I was unsure who to call. Very pleased I found Ruby Bolton very knowledgeable, communicated to me exactly what the issues were. I am blessed to have found her. She got me in right away because I had a deadline, and resolved the issue in a professional and swift manner.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend Ruby Bolton. She was retained during a very stressful elder care / elder rights situation. Met with her within a few hours of first call. She promised to act swiftly to cure an egregious situation concering my aunt's elder rights, and she did so. The difficulties were solved wi...htin only a few hours, and we continue to consult her concerning elder rights and other issues. Ms. Bolton returns calls promptly. Her receptionist will advise when she is in court and when she will be able to return call or schedule a meeting. When she promises to do something, she follows through with courtesy and effectiveness. I am very happy to have Ms Bolton representing us in this matter.

Great Lawyer

Ruby represented me in a custody battle for my son. She prepared me perfectly for the trial and we ended up with the perfect resolution. She knows her stuff. Only negative thing to say is I needed to meet with her late at night and on weekends because of my work and she seemed hesitant. (although she... did it).

Posted by anonymous | February 21, 2011 | Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence

After years of domestic violence, Ruby Bolton placed me in a mediation room with my abuser. Mrs. Bolton then had me agree to conditions that were not in the best interest of my children. I had paid the Bolton Law Firm 10 K. Three days before trial, Mrs. Bolton told me if I did not pay an addit...ional $6,303, before trial, she would withdraw. I could not come up with the additional funds and Ruby Bolton did not appear at trial. Ruby Bolton sent her law partner in her place. Not only was her law partner unprepared, I was repeatly charged for discovery, yet on the day of trial, no discovery was in my file. 100% of all martial assets and custody of my two daughters were awarded to my ex hushand. The ex husband, has multiple arrest and citations of domestic violence against three woman. The Texas Family Code states that a victim should not be placed in a mediation room with an abuser. Mrs. Bolton did not know the law, or simply did not apply the law. If you seek justice, I hope you pick a better attorney than Ruby Bolton. Sheila Galloway
