Criminal Case

Freddy helped me out in my criminal case ending in a NOT GUILTY verdict. Helped ease my mind when speaking to him. Made me feel like i was a part of his family other than just a client. Worked hard day and night working on my case. Looks at every angle that may be thrown your way. An unrelentles...s bulldog during my trial and made sure that i knew everything that was going on as the trial progressed. Hope to never be in that situation again but if so would definitely wouldn't hesitate to call him again. A+++ trial lawyer.

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.

Outstanding, honest, experienced and gets the Job Done!

Freddy is an accomplished attorney and an expert in his field. I fully recommend him and have seen first-hand how he leads his clients to successful outcomes. Freddy has supported my brothers and I through difficult legal situations. He helped seek justice for my brothers' divorces. He was abl...e to get my brothers' children back and take action where other attorneys struggled. In addition, Freddy helped my family through challenges we faced with our teenage son. He was very caring and supportive the entire time. He continues to check on our son because he sincerely cares. He is amazing to work with and always has his clients' interest as a priority. Freddy's trustworthiness and professionalism will serve any client with the expertise they need.

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.
