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.

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.

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
