Uncontested Divorce

I highly recommend George Ruiz, he and his paralegal Candy. They have made this transition easy for me. They are quick to answer an email or text at any time. I'm so glad I found them!

Great team

My ex-wife wild and got a temporary restraining order and filed motions 100% custody with supervised visitations over some frivolous accusations. When I first call the office looking for an attorney I was very impressed with candy she was very open very honest told me what I needed to be looking for... an attorney and told me that even if I didn't use George as an attorney that I should look for a younger eager attorney. I set up a consultation and after meeting with him I was very impressed. He was very knowledgeable respectful understanding and honest which was a little scary as these cases can be. But he worked hard it was very to the point at what we needed to do. We stayed at his office until after 10:30 p.m. the night before my hearing to make sure that we were prepped and ready. At the hearing he was able to get my visitation orders back to the original standing so I can see my son again I couldn't have asked for more. He did a great job and I am continuing to use him seeking custody for my son. Candy was and has continued to be very supportive and diligent in her role and the such a great job they work very well together she's very knowledgeable as well and very up front and candid doesn't sugarcoat anything. They really are an awesome team.

Thank You

George and Candy are always looking out for the best interest of their clients. They worked diligently on my cases to get them dismissed and to help me through this experience. I would recommend these lawyers to all of my friends and family.

The Easy Part of Divorce

Divorce is always a difficult thing to go through. There tends to be lots of confusing paperwork and emotional turmoil involved, no matter how much you try to avoid it. Working with George and his paralegal, Candy, didn't make these things go away but they definatly made it easier. They handled all m...y paper work, filed it in a timely manner and always remained professional. If I had any questions I knew either one of them could easily be contacted. This gave me piece of mind, knowing that something so personal was being taken care of in the most professional way possible. Truly the easiest part of my divorce.

Great Attorney and Paralegal team

Mr. Ruiz actually cares about his clients. I was a court appointed client (so he made pocket change off me) and he went out of his way to make sure that I made it to my court date even driving to pick me up 20 miles outside of town because i do not have a car (he got my case dismissed). He cares abo...ut you regardless of the money he does what he has to. Very compassionate about his work. His paralegal Candy is very kind and helpful. They really seem to know what they are doing.
