Honorable, Honest, Professional, Positive and Lionhearted

Mr. Ruiz is an amazing lawyer. He helped my wife and I deal with child custody concerns with my stepdaughter. He always kept us in the loop and maintained constant communication. Mr. Ruiz was not only professional but he really does become a part of the family. But his true personality came through w...hen my wife passed away. He was my lawyer AGAIN and was able to obtain my late wife’s final wishes for her 8 year old (at the time) daughter. He walked me through an uphill battle with my stepdaughter’s biological father. Needles to say, he kept me in the loop, kept me motivated and feeling strong through life’s toughest trials and worst moments and in the end he was able to get everything my late wife and I wanted for our family. If you ever get the chance to see Mr. Ruiz in action in court, it’s amazing. He fights with his whole heart to do what's right. Because of this this man, I have the family I was meant to have. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Ruiz to anyone looking for an honest, professional and respectable lawyer.

Divorce

I was referred by my brother whom is a lawyer. He was very helpful and kept good contact with me throughout the process. With his assistance, I was able to obtain the rights of my child and other request I was asking for. I am very stratified with results. He continues to make himself available for a...ny questions when things arise. Mr. Ruiz is truly a standup person who looks out for his clientele. I have and do recommend him for anybody looking for legal services.

Excellent and very professional lawyer

I referred Freddy to friend and co- workers due to that he did a outstanding job representing me through my divorce process. Freddy gives you honest feedback, his personality gives you the comfort you need. He is professional and to the point even when the enemy ain't. Freddy gets you the outcome y...ou looking for and you deserve. Just like I the people I referred Freddy to were very satisfied

Excellent and very professional lawyer. I absolutely recommend his services

I hired Mr. Ruiz to assist me with the divorce process appealing. Mr. Ruiz is very dedicated lawyer and has a very strong work ethic. He was very efficient and professional through the entire case. He always communicated with me efficiently and responded all the emails right away. He listened to all ...my concerns, and handled my situation in only 4 months. I am very thankful that I was able to find a lawyer that cares for his clients and communicates very efficiently. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Ruiz. He is the best lawyer to help you. He Specializes in Military divorces. Lastly, he has very affordable prices.

When no one could he Did!!

I hired Mr. Ruiz from a recommendation from a friend who knew I had been through a half a dozen attorneys from West Texas to San Antonio in what had been a 5 year divorce and custody battle all of the attorneys prior to him were more interested in their fee than my case from the very expensive "good"... attorneys to the not as expensive attorneys so i said what do i have to lose ? From our 1st consultation I could tell he knew what he was talking about since I already had 5 years of double talk from the other attorneys. Freddy was to the point no bs he told me what to expect from him and he expected from me he didn't sugarcoat anything and most importantly HE WAS HONEST, took a real interest in the case and was able to take care of my case with a very difficult ex that even her lawyers started quitting he took care of all of it in a very professional matter. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mr.Ruiz and have recommended him to family and friends. I thank him for the peace of mind he has brought me and my family. Thank you Freddy
