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.

Ruth and her staff were caring, kind and compassionate during my divorce. She returned calls promptly. My ex tried to drag the divorce out longer than necessary, but she was always quick to respond to inquiries and was able to push through some of the attempted stalling tactics of the other side.

Ruth gave me the confidence and protection I needed to get me through a very hard divorce. She was able to take the weight off my shoulders so I could concentrate on myself and children. Her firm did a fantastic job protecting me and my children.

R.

Ruth and her staff truly went above and beyond when handling my divorce case. She answered email promptly, once while she was being transported to the ER with a hurt knee. During one court session, Rachel came to represent me, and the bailiff stopped me on the way out of the courtroom to tell me I had an “excellent attorney,”. I have personally recommended her to family and friends that were in need of a family law attorney.

At a time when my mental/emotional state was at its limit because I was concerned for my children’s future wellbeing, Ruth Cate not only dotted every I and crossed every T, she and her team provided a top-notch team for my benefit. Her teams attention to detail and guidance made up for my desire to fight for my children and see things to the end and they today have a better future and chance of being successful life-loving boys. God Bless Ruth Cate and her outstanding team.

Regardless of your situation, you want a good, professional, caring attorney. Ruth Cate and her staff are that and more. They will show you compassion, professionalism, and help you achieve your goals. If not, they offer outstanding advice and consultation. I could not have hired a better attorney and will “sing her praises” forever.

R.

Ruth and her staff were tremendous to work with! My case was complicated and through it all, she was calm, knowledgeable, and supportive. I could not have asked for a better attorney and her staff is great too.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. Totally agree with the other reviewers, Ruth and her team are the best. They care, they are honest and dependable and you can’t ask for better representation. Through thick and thin, they’ve been there for us. The old adage of ‘you get what you pay for’ isn’t always true with lawyers, you can spend a lot to get the runaround. As the others said, she’s worth every penny.

K.

Thank you Ruth. You helped me come up with a plan when I thought nothing would work. Then you executed the plan beautifully. And it succeeded. I am so grateful. And throughout the process you were kind and patient. You always kept me informed of the status of my case and answered my questions. And your staff was fabulous.

I can not say enough about Ruth Cate. She was my attorney for almost 2 years. I met with another well-known attorney before meeting with Ruth. He was very cold and did not come across as very nice. I met with Ruth and instantly felt I was in great hands. As friends and co-workers found out who my attorney was going through my divorce, they all had excellent things to say about Ruth. I am so glad I met her because she fought for me with class and respect and kindness. As you can imagine when you’re going through a divorce your life and emotions are upset side down. Ruth helped me make clear decisions even when I could not make sense of what was happening to my marriage, my life. I would tell anyone, she is wonderful and she will fight for you. Do not doubt her or her staff. They are on your side all the way. Ruth was there for me. Normally divorces are over in 3 to 12 months. I got to know her over a 2-year span and I talked to her or her staff daily about my case. Ruth was patient with me and could personally understand my situation. I just went back to her office recently to say hello and to thank her again for everything she did for me. She gave me a great big hug! We won my case back in Dec 2014 and I could not be happier with the results. I look at her with such strength and dignity and respect. I would use Ruth for any legal case. Ruth does care about her clients and she showed that to me. She is a great attorney and she clearly works well with other attorneys. She is a perfectionist with her work and it shows. I give Ruth Cate a 10 !! all day long.
