I offer the highest possible recommendation for Mrs. Cate. I was in a very difficult situation involving a complicated divorce and a heart-wrenching custody battle when I met Mrs. Cate. I was terrified of the entire process. However, from the moment I met Mrs. Cate she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She listened attentively to everything I had to share and unlike other lawyers, I had consulted with; she showed genuine empathy for my situation and for the well-being of my son. She was always considerate of what was important to me and my family and took the time to explain the process until I felt comfortable. I felt as if Mrs. Cate and her entire staff were truly vested in my case and fought for my son as if he was their own. She was also upfront and honest with me each step of the way. I was never shocked or ill-prepared for any situation we faced. Her experience, rapport with judges, professionalism, knowledge and out-of-the-box thinking resulted in a positive outcome for me and my son beyond what I believed could be attained. Throughout my case, she maintained honesty and integrity which was very important to me. I had researched and met with many lawyers prior to choosing Mrs. Cate and I was well aware of her great legal achievements and capabilities, yet she still managed to exceed my expectations. I cannot express in words how grateful I am that she was tenacious, aggressive when necessary, and fought for me as if I were family; but simultaneously showed compassion, kindness and a sincere concern for not only my physical and emotional well-being but also my whole family’s through this critical time in my life. Ruth Cate truly cares. She is not only a phenomenal lawyer, but she is also a beautiful human being inside and out and I would recommend her to anyone in need of representation.
