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 stepped in as my counsel midway through my divorce. She was quick to get up to speed and familiarize herself with my case. I and found her to be more than competent with every matter concerning divorce and child custody. She is a hard working and dedicated attorney with a true heart of gold.... She is well respected, knowledgeable, and responds quickly to any concerns or questions. She understands that this is a very difficult time in a person's life and offers honest answers and advise with compassion. I would highly recommend her to handle any family law case.

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.

I'm a former client. When it comes to children, there isn't anyone I'd trust more. I was being slandered in court and online by my ex-wife. My ex described many lies, which to this day, still leave a scar. Ruth put a stop to the insanity. My ex and I had issues, yes, and Ruth created a compellin...g argument that although issues were there between my ex and I, I was a fit parent as I sincerely placed my children first, above divorce issues. Throughout the unjust and humiliating smokescreen of "abuse" my ex's lawyer attempted to create, Ruth was the light- and navigated the judge through the smoke screen back to truth and objective reality. I was able to keep WEEKLY custody of my children, whereas my ex wanted to make me an "every other weekend dad", to gain more money in child support and to ultimately "punish me" for pushing our divorce through. My ex's anger blinded her to the fact that this would ultimately hurt the children... and Ruth insured their emotional and psychological protection. Thank you Ruth. Today, 2 years later, my ex and I are friendly (yes, it can happen!), focused on our children and have rebuilt a strong, working relationship centered on caring for our two beautiful gifts from God. Our children are doing very well on every level- and enjoy time with both mom and dad. Ruth is passionate about her work and during her arguments in court, highly regarded among her colleagues and very well respected. There isn't any other lawyer I'd trust my children's future with.
