A Fine Lawyer for Family Matters

Ruth Mendus helped me in a support case where the amount in arrears was in the six-figure range. Ruth helped negotiate a settlement between my ex and I; and then represented me in court to get the settlement entered into the court records. I found Ruth to be very capable and professional; but also ...friendly and understanding. I did not find her legal fees to be any higher than the norm. I would strongly recommend her to others needing legal help with family law.

The best attorney anyone could ask for.

With a huge amount of experience and knowlege I find Ms. Mendus to be a top notch attorney. My divorce has been very arduous and draining, Ms. Mendus did everything possible to work through the divorce with integrity, honesty and fairness while completely supporting and defending what was necessary ...for the children and spouse. She has tremendous patience and a kind heart that does not interfere when she does have to go to court. She is very reasonable priced and I find that she hold all of the values and morals a great attorney should have. I would recommend her to anyone without a hesitation.

A dream of an attorney

Ruth is by far the best attorney I could have hoped for. I feel very fortunate that I found her. She handled a every aspect of a very ugly divorce/custody battle. I never felt as if she was just in it for the money. She has been more than fair and reasonable with her time and charges, didn't char...ge me for an initial consult, and has been working with me for very fair payment plan. She's incredibly personable and knows what she is doing. I had interviewed a couple other attorneys before finding Ruth and trusted her implicitely once I found her. Thanks to her my cases were resolved very quickly and in my favor. I could have proceeded on my own, but felt much better having her there to make sure all of the t's were crossed and i's were dotted.
