Excellent Experience

I filed for divorce and my previous attorney did a horrible job. I was referred to Freddy and the same day he personally returned my phone call and answered more questions than the previous attorney. In 2 months my divorce was finalized with excellent results. Everything I asked for and more was gran...ted to me. Freddy is truly professional and an excellent attorney. He was always a step ahead of the game. Communication was excellent and I was given daily updates on my case status. Highly recommend Freddy Ruiz and his staff. Jackie is wonderful as well.

Skilled fighter

Freddy Ruiz was patient with me during a time of uncertainty and stressful decision making. He was passionate in trial and dedicated himself to ensuring that I was able to achieve a positive outcome in my case. Freddy treated my concerns for my daughter’s safety as his own and I will forever be gr...ateful to him for all of his hard work and time. Thank you Freddy.

Divorce with custody

I hired Freddy to help me navigate the divorce from my ex who had made threats against me and my son. My ex made considerably more than me and Freddy was very reasonable and helpful with finances ensuring me that he would work with me so that I could finish the case. Freddy was available nights and w...eekends whenever something arose to ease my concerns and help protect me and my son. Freddy helped educate me on the process of the divorce and extensively helped prepare me to testify so that I could get primary custody of our son. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, prepared and succinct in his presentation of my case. He taught me that sometimes "less is more" and that I dont have to say everything. I was assurred throughout the process and able to divorce and get primary custody and protections to help the courts remain involved so that I could ensure safety and security for myself and my son.

Parent-Child Relationship

Freddy represented me when I went through a modification of parent-child relationship. He was available 7 days a week and responded quickly and efficiently. With Freddy’s knowledge and years of experience, I was able to stay focused on what really mattered and make decisions that not only benefits my... daughter currently but also long term. Freddy’s experience in the field greatly shined through when we went to court and other attorneys were asking him for advice. He treats every single person with the most utright respect and truly fights for what is right.

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.
