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.

R. Estep was appointed to our case by the court and we are more than disappointed. At first she seemed so light and personal, then I discovered what I can only call her dark-side: she seemed to have agenda that not only did not take into account the best interests of our child, but made the situatio...n worse for both parents. Oddly, Ms. Estep's incompetency brought me back together with my estranged husband so that we both could fight to protect our child from Ms. Estep!!! Though we could not get her dismissed my daughter refused to talk to her and she finally left by default.

I seldom take the time to write online reviews, but Ms. Estep has had such a profound impact in my life, I felt moved to post these comments. 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. She doesn't hold back, does everything that can be done, but she does it with a social grace and lack of mean-spiritedness that is rare and to be admired. I hired Ruth to help my teenage daughter, who was desperate to be free of her abusive father. I wanted my child to be safe and happy, but not at the expense of her integrity, or mine. 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. The family court system in California is a labyrinth coated in molasses, and I remain eternally grateful that I wasn't alone in that sticky mess. I would recommend Ruth to anyone in need of family law services. She is smart, capable, honest and loyal. If you're reading this because you're in need of an attorney, look no further. Your search ends here...Ruth is amazing!
