If you want the best there is this is the place, Ruth Cate is one of the smartest and best attorneys in SC may be in the world. I would never trust anyone to represent me in court other than her and her amazing team. Team Cate!

When searching for a divorce attorney, I received two very strong independent recommendations for Ruth Cate. The first was from a senior therapist in a reputable counseling practice who said “Ruth is the only attorney in town that you want to have”. The other referral was from an attorney in one of the preeminent family law practices in Charlotte who described Ruth as “a tough opponent”. Indeed, the outcome in my highly unusual case exceeded my expectations. In addition to her legal knowledge, Ruth’s years of experience in the upstate court system give her tremendous insight into how to advance the case (through the courts) and how to construct arguments and substantiating evidence that resonates with judges and challenge opposing counsel. Julie Mostiler was the lead paralegal on my case, and she was exceptionally easy to work with, responsive, and always available via phone or e-mail. I would also note that the front office staff knew me by name, which made me feel welcome and that the entire practice was there to support me.

Absolutely the attorney to have!!! Ruth is great to work with. She really fights for her clients and knows how to keep things moving. She’s no-nonsense and doesn’t waste time or drag things out as other attorneys will. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.

Ruth Cate was my attorney over 5 years ago and she did a phenomenal job representing my family. I still keep in contact with her and email her about once a year with an update on life!

I hired Ruth Cate as my attorney at the recommendation of a friend who said she was the best in the business. While she has been my only attorney, I can honestly say that she did an awesome job for me. I was scared but knew I had to file for divorce to get child support for my kids. Ruth took immediate action and although we had to go to court to do it, I was able to get child support pretty quickly. The divorce was not easy, but she was there for me the entire way. She always responded to my emails quickly and never hesitated to meet with me if I wanted it. I was very pleased with the outcome and I do believe it was a result of her hard work. The cost of the divorce was hard for me, but Ruth was willing to work with me and was extremely supportive and understanding of my situation. My divorce was final a year ago, but she did not hesitate to meet with me recently to go over some issues that have come up. One thing is for sure, if you are honest and give her all the facts, she will fight hard for you. I am very grateful.

What a team at the Cate Law Firm. From my first visit with nervous anticipation, I experienced each and every time over the course of a year the expertise of each person in the firm. Beginning at the front desk I came to know that there would always be a kind and personal greeting. The paralegal’s tireless energy and resourcefulness were constant and dependable. The business office always gave me quality answers to my questions. As time went on, other team members of the firm contributed with me in mind to the efficiency, timeliness and cost-effectiveness of my case. During my first visit to Ruth’s office, I knew that she would be the attorney to guide, advise, counsel and work on my behalf with vigor, kindness, sensitivity and most of all integrity. Her work ethic, knowledge of the law and professional manner is only out measured by her willingness to listen and learn the heart of her client. The team at the Cate Law Firm is a great expression of a family law practice that is established and operates by both professional and personal care for their clients.

Ruth Cate and her associates were superior handling my divorce. To date, the most emotionally challenging period in my life, but Ruth and her team supported me throughout the entire process. I was always given all the information and preparation I needed every step of the way. I may have asked a thousand questions, but I received a thousand highly professional and supportive answers in return. I am grateful to Ruth and her colleagues for guiding me through the chaos onto the next phase of my life. I am most pleased with the end result and am grateful for what she accomplished for me and my children.
