Freddy is awesome!

Freddy was amazing through my difficult divorce. He was always honest and gave me good advise. He would tell me what my options were and give me his opinion on what was best, but the decision was always mine. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I would for sure turn to Freddy. I have re...commended him to several friends in need and recently he also did a fantastic job for my best friend. Like I said, he is AWESOME!!!

If you don't want communication from your attonrney or a good outcome. Call this lawyer!

He handled our family matter for custody and visitation on a case that should have been done in a couple months. Due to what appears to be a lack of knowledge in family law (even though he claims he has done may) and due to minimal communication, thsi case took over 8 months and the outcome could hav...e been the same if I handled the casde myself (I am not a lawyer). He didn't listen to what I wanted as far as making or presenting any deals to the other party. He wouldn't listen to my family or friends. If you need a cheap lawyer, this is your guy! If you want a good lawyer, STAY AWAY!!!

awesome. attorney

I searched for many months for a family law lawyer in San Antonio,tX. I met with at least 16 differ ant attorneys before I finally came across mr. Ruiz. The lawyers before him would not take my case because it was too complicated. I am so happy with mr. Ruiz . And I would recommend him for any lega...l battle. He is very keen on the many rules and laws of child custody and he fought a good fight and the out come was exactly what I wanted. When so many others said I couldn't win because judges don't like to change orders if it was good enough then , its good enough now. But freddy was a beast in the court room and he won me my daughter back . Thank you sooo much Freddy.
