I hired Ruth Goldner in December of 2017 to represent me in my custody case, and I cannot say enough great things about her. My divorce was final back in 2010 but my ex-wife still has not let go of her bitterness and has now brought me back to court twice to try taking away the joint custody I was awarded. This time was due to a relocation I made for work, however to strengthen her case, she fabricated allegations and implied several negative things about me. Ruth listened to what I had to say, reviewed my divorce settlement, and saw right through those allegations. She assured me she would represent me to the best of her ability and to say she undersold herself is an understatement. Her insight, intellect, writing skills, and articulation are nothing short of masterful. She presents herself professionally and even when faced with ludicrous challenges and accusations from opposing counsel, she maintained her composure (also ensuring I did the same) and powered through it. Her level of communication before and after each court appearance is unrivaled. Typically clients deal with paralegals for these matters, however Ruth was in direct contact with me throughout the entire 6 month process via phone, text, or email. She made sure I received copies of all documents whether drafted by opposing counsel, herself, or the Friend of the Court and made sure I understood them. She also asked for approval and review of any documents she was drafting on my behalf rather than assume she knows what was best for my daughter and I because she’s an attorney and I’m not. She never once made me feel as though I was below her like other attorneys that I have dealt with do. Billing is extremely fair and borderline generous. She’s not from a massive firm that treats their clients as a Case Number, she truly cared about the outcome in my case and there’s no doubt that is the case with all of her clients. Be open, honest, and up front about all matters in your case so as not to allow sudden surprises to surface in court and she will impress you the way she did me, I highly recommend Ruth Goldner. From the bottom of my heart, I cannot thank you enough.
Ruth and David are special when it comes to lawyers. They took the time to break down and explain legal terms so that I could understand. They were down-to-earth and had great personalities while maintaining professionalism. I love how they are not your typical lawyers. Even their office is a soothing place. They were there for me every step of the way to calm my fears, frustration, anger and tears. I would highly recommend them.
I helped my brother divorce (many reasons, different story) his now ex-wife. I wholeheartedly recommend Ruth Goldner as an attorney. She is professional, talented, empathetic and best of all got the job done! Everything and everybody at Goldner|Deeg PLLC was a pleasure to deal with. From my first call to my last interaction everything was pleasant and beneficial to my case. The legal work made the divorce easy and the billing (which is an instrumental part of the process) was straight forward. No surprises at all. Like I said Ruth is the lawyer you want.
Ruth was very clear in their communication and explanation of the process (divorce). We were able to come to a favorable outcome and I didn't feel lost or confused during the process.
Ruth explained all the procedures for my case, and was very patient and kind.
Words simply cannot express how incredible of an attorney and a human Ruth is. I was hesitant at first to retain an attorney for fears of expensive litigation, however, I was glad I chose Ruth to represent me. Divorce is an incredibly difficult situation, emotionally and financially, I was in over my head trying to handle it all on my own. Ruth’s kindness, sound legal mind and steady hand helped me navigate this horrible life experience with ease. She truly holds herself accountable to her client’s best interests. I am forever grateful all the hard work she put in, not only in my case but also to become the mindful attorney that she is. Her work is truly sound. If you’re considering retaining an attorney for your situation, look no more! She saved me so much pain and anguish. I cannot say that enough. The world is truly better because of humans like her. Thanks a bunch Ruth & Team.
Ruth was the only reason I kept a steady mindset during my divorce. She was kind and always willing to listen about all that comes from a divorce. She is knowledgeable and always gave advice that made sense and helped throughout the divorce process. During the process she was always available and answered any questions within minutes. She also helped after the divorce process when some snags came up during the sale of the house. Ruth is an amazing human who will not let you down. She works hard and smart and will help you through the entire process. She also works with an awesome group of people who are kind and courteous and willing to help with anything. Everyone at the office that interacted with was helpful and understanding.
Ruth is the perfect blend of professional and relatable. She explained things clearly and concisely, and I always felt heard when discussing my case. Her representation was both efficient and effective. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I was referred to Ruth through a friend and reached out to her in regards to my divorce. She took the time to really listen and understand my point of view. I loved that she was so genuine. She cared about me and my family, and worked hard for the outcome I desired. She was a great resource and hard worker. Her dedication to me was shown throughout my case. I would high recommend working with her!
Ruth was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy place! She explains everything clearly and includes possible outcomes including financial ramifications. She is focused on getting the job done and what is in your best interest! I would recommend her without hesitation... as a matter of fact if you do not hire her you have made a mistake! Her assistant Celina is fantastic and just flat out gets it done! Thanks Ruth!
