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.

Best Divorce lawyer

Freddy was a referral from a close friend. Divorce is unpleasant to say the least and I had no idea where to start. After visiting with quite a few lawyers I found Freddy. Mr. Ruiz was extremely professional, always on point and made the process of divorce a bit easier. He was available 24/7. I am ex...tremely grateful I chose Freddy and would recommend him in a heartbeat.

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.

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!!!

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
