I hired Ruth Cate as my attorney at the recommendation of a friend. 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.

I was in a complicated divorce and custody battle. From the moment I met Mrs. Cate she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She listened attentively to everything I had to share, she showed a genuine empathy for my situation and for the well-being of my son. I felt as if Mrs. Cate and her staff 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. 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.

Never would we had expected such poor service and results from a lawyer who was suppose to represent our case. We had high expectations due to her reputation but we were deceived. This was the worse experience. There was never any counseling or coaching. We had to initiate any agreement and make suggestions. Neither Ruth or Rachel were proactive, they just wanted to finish and take our money. They were rude, condescending and at times very unprofessional.Please look elsewhere if you want someone to fight for you and care about your children. This firm does not. They are quick to rush to judgement and were not interested in the true underlying cause of our case. We made a dreadful mistake in hiring this firm and the cost was catastrophic for the children involved.

My girl friend spent $5000. On this lawyer and had a great case against her children father. She blew threw the 5grand never finished and dragged it out. Only to drop her after she coundnt come up with another $2000. My girlfriend (now wife )Anniversary represented herself the rest of the way and did better and got what she wanted by herself. This lawyer sucks. And the only people you can talk to are her assistants who charge the same rate as if you were talking to her. Needs to be laws against her overcharges and incompetence...

Ruth Cate got exactly what she said she could get for me in my divorce settlement. She was truthful in what I could expect from the court, and she told me the times and ways I could lower my legal fees and then left the decision up to me on how to proceed. Any unhappiness on my part was due to SC divorce laws, not my attorney. Money well spent!
