Ruth Ryan-Cruz

Ruth worked hard on a complicated real estate matter over several months. She communicated with us in a timely and thorough manner, and worked diligently to avoid a more costly and drawn out legal battle. I don’t know what we would have done without her professional expertise. I highly recommend Ruth....

My wife and I live in Arizona. We retained an Arizona attorney to prepare documents for our estate planning and set up our family trust. We own properties in California and needed to transfer those properties into our family trust. However, our Arizona attorney is not license in California and sugg...ested we contact an attorney in San Diego for guidance and preparation of legal documents to handle transfer of our San Diego and Imperial County properties into the family trust. We research to find an estate planning trust attorney in San Diego who could handle the transfer our California properties into our trust. We reviewed and vetted 5 estate planning attorneys in San Diego. After consideration and consultation we hired Ruth Ryan-Cruz, an estate planning attorney in San Diego. We decided to retain this firm because from initial response to our inquiry Ruth provided a business resume of what her firm could do us and cost. This answered many questions for us and we felt comfortable working with her. She prepared the Quit Deed documents for the transfer of properties into our family trust and handled filing with the Recorder’s Offices in San Diego and Imperial County. This was an immense help because it saved time and cost of not having to travel to California. Throughout the process Ruth Ryan-Cruz was professional and courteous Ruth clearly answered questions we had. She promptly prepared, reviewed and filed the needed documents. Consequently, we have no problem giving our recommendation to this firm should anyone have the need for estate planning/ family trust. Lastly, I informed Ruth that I was a Navy veteran. She gave this consideration in calculation of her billing. This was much appreciated.

Ruth is amazing. I found her while looking for lawyers to go over my commercial lease. Ended up just having Ruth help set up all of my business documents. She explained everything and made sure we understood what everything meant and what the possible outcomes could be in different scenarios. I'm a f...irst time business owner and Ruth really made me feel comfortable with all of the legal aspects of opening and owning a business with two others. She also had recommendations for other fields like payroll, insurance, etc.

My wife and I are business partners. We sought out Ruth's help during a dark period when our business faced bad problems including an impossible landlord and business debt and loans not paid to us. It took a while but we feel we finally resolved that situation with ruth's help. We're finally at a sta...ge where we're starting new business plans with Ruth's help. Very happy we found her. Recommend her beyond five stars if we could

Ruth has been immensely helpful as I've worked on starting my business. She has helped me break an old lease contract, review and edit a new lease contract, draft a business contract, and has provided other legal advice as I've needed it. Ruth makes it a point to respond promptly and to follow-up a...s needed. Her communication is clear and concise. Her services have helped put my mind at ease with a variety of business start-up items that can be quite stressful. I find Ruth's services to be invaluable, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for business legal services.
