A class act. Professional, skilled and compassionate.
Ruth is the best attorney experience we have had. She is a true professional. She was completely prepared for our case. She truly cared about us and the children involved. Ruth is very honest and tells you what is real. She has so much experience and she doesn’t play games. I’ve (sadly) worked with s...

Ruth was my saving Grace
Like most people who are involved in a divorce, I was unsure of the entire process, worried about all the horror stories I had heard regarding divorce attorneys, and concerned I would end up a financially and mental wreck from the experience.

Helped me when others couldn't
I hired Ruth to help me with my divorce and custody. From the very beginning is was quite evident that she was very knowledgable and respected. I had worked with another lawyer in which frankly I lost all hope that I would be able to regain my son's custody. But from the very initial meeting with Ru...
"I endorse Ruth. I have worked opposite her in a post-judgment family law dispute. She is a fighter for her client but a reasonable person too. She has the rare gift of being a listener and not just a talker, and works to get problems resolved."
"I have worked with Ms. Estep on several family law matters and found her to be professional, compassionate and very knowledgeable of the law. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ruth is a very skilled and experienced family law lawyer. Ruth is a leader in the Santa Monica Family Law community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Estep has been minor's counsel in one case I had years ago and we just finished another cash today. She is hard working and fights for her client while maintaining a professional and cordial working relationship with opposing counsel."
"Attorney Ruth Estep is an amazing attorney with experience in all aspects of family law. In addition to being a highly accomplished attorney, her work as minor's counsel gives her insight, experience and relationships with other attorneys and judicial officers that most attorneys will never have, nor even the opportunity to develop. I endorse Ms. Estep."
"Ruth is a pillar in the family law community. She is a hard working, knowledgeable attorney who puts her clients needs first and is a fierce advocate."
"I have known Ruth Estep for over 7 years. We were on opposing sides re a family law matter; while we did not agree on the reasoning/approach to the various issues of this case, we did find common ground and did always respect each other, something other attys seemingly find difficult to do when there is 'litigation'. I endorse Ms. Estep as an atty who is competent and capable."
"I highly recommend Ms. Estep. We worked together on a custody matter in Santa Monica and I greatly admire her commitment to her clients. She is a dedicated, caring, honest and hard-working attorney who represents her clients with zeal. I am confident that any client would be in good hands with Ms. Estep."
