Posted by Carrie | February 19, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Professional, Knowledgeable

Ruth and her assistant Chris helped me out with a breach of contract case and it was settled in my favor. She is professional, nice, and has reasonable fees. I enjoyed working with her and would hire her again if I needed to.

Posted by Otto | May 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Excellent attorney for real estate and business

I have a tax lien business and Ruth was always available to answer questions and worked hard on my case. I hired Ruth for foreclosure, real estate, and contract work. She is knowledgeable and capable. I recommend her whole heartedly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
