Ruth Lynn Estep

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...everal family law attorneys and Ruth is the very best. We live in the Midwest and Ruth handled our case in California with compassion and expertise. She made sure not a moment of our time was wasted. She ended our case quickly and expertly which saved some of the children involved from have to endure the pain of testifying in court. Another attorney in the court that day said “Ruth did an outstanding job and handled the case gently but with a hugely forceful effect. “ We agree! Ruth has our eternal gratitude for helping us through this difficult experience.

Ms. Estep thinks fast on her feet remembering details that make a big difference in court. She has been compassionate with me and my family and made us feel she was always on our side. She speaks honestly about the realities of court and prepared me for the most intelligent way to navigate it durin...g what has most definitely been the most challenging time of my life. Ruth is an assertive, dedicated, and ethical attorney. Ms. Estep was better in court than the overpriced "celebrity" lawyer we were up against!

Ruth was exactly the lawyer I needed. From the first meeting, she impressed me as intelligent and sharp. She asked questions which helped me identify my issues and more importantly, my priorities. She was also very candid about what to expect, and answered all my questions - I had a list! She pat...iently explained the process to me. My divorce was understandably stressful. She was comforting when needed and tough when necessary. Ruth was there for me and my daughter every step of the way. She kept us updated and was responsive. She was a true advocate for us and we will always be grateful to her.

Everyone wants a an attorney who has the skill, tenacity and knowledge to win their case. That's a given. More than that, what I wanted was one with integri...ty, and Ruth has that in spades.

I wanted to go about it in a way that was fair and honest. I couldn't have been more lucky that fate led me to Ruth.
