The best of the best

If you are looking for someone that has great communication and is on top of your case in a swift manner Freddy us your guy. Freddie helped me become the primary parent to my child, he had the paperwork done so fast and was very direct and open about everything that was being done. Freddy is amazing ...and I would trust him to take care of you!

Very professional, a honest and determined lawyer. Words can’t explain the happiness and joy he brought back to me and my family. Always stayed positive and focused during my civil case. Me and my family love Freddy, he has become a close friend to us all. I highly recommend Freddy Ruiz as your next ...attorney

Magician

I hired Freddy Ruiz as my defense attorney, and I would hire him again. I was in the Marines, and Freddy was a JAG officer in the Air Force, being Veterans we clicked from the start. I appreciated the fact that he said what I needed to hear, he was straight up and honest. We need more ethical people ...like Freddy. A pet peeve I have with professional service people is lack of communication as if they ride on a high horse, and are too busy to call or text you back, Freddy is very responsive, and got back with me in a timely manner this made me a very happy client. We had a day in court and I was surprised to see how prepared he was to fight my case, after what I call a win situation, and knowing we were in the right from the beginning about our case I was so impressed I felt like he had pulled a rabbit out a hat. I would highly recommend Freddy Ruiz.

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

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.
