Extraordinary Experience!!

Top notch performance by a total professional! Mr. Ruiz has a positively infectious attitude coupled with an unparalleled command of the law.

It is with extreme confidence that we whole heartedly endorse Freddy Ruiz for any litigious situation, he consistently met and exceeded our expectations!

Great Lawyer, very logical, takes the emotion and drama out of a Divorce. I was fortunate to have Freddy represent me during a complicated divorce in 2008 involving custody and another military (now ex) spouse. During the entire process he remained enthusiastic, upbeat, professional and avoided tak...ing cheap shots at the ex or opposing attorney. His main focus was preserving my mood, preserving the relationship with my daughters, and preserving my estate. Now almost 10 years later, I am on civil terms with the ex-spouse and wonderful relationship with my daughters!!! I would definitely recommend him for anyone going through a similar process.

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Ruiz assisted me throughout my divorce process. I was referred to him through a friend of mine that uses his services. It was the best decision I've ever made. He worked with me throughout the whole situation and was completely honest with me. He took his time to explain the process and what to... be expected with all the options. He was always available and was so patient to respond all my questions. He was punctual, always returned my phone calls and always kept me informed and worked with my schedule. I couldn’t ask for more :). I am very pleased with his services and outcome of my case. The outcome was better than I expected. I definitely would recommend his professional services.

Fantastic. Honest. Ethical. Honorable.

Freddy was my lawyer during my divorce process. He was the perfect partner in this battle. He’s a veteran and so am I. That shared military background influenced our process heavily. Freddy ran the process like a military operation. He spoke my language and kept me informed. He’s exactly the p...erson I needed at a horrible time. Freddy kept saying during the process that we will keep things ethical, honest and transparent. The other side didn’t do that. When we finished, my integrity was intact. You can’t put a price on that. I would recommend Freddy without hesitation.

Honor and ethics

I hired Mr Ruiz to represent me in my divorce proceedings. Throughout the process, he's been absolutely ethical and honorable. No matter what the opposing side tried, said or did, we always operated with honor, integrity and transparency. That defines who Mr Ruiz is and how he operates his practic...e. I would recommend him without hesitation.
