Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Great person, great firm. I highly recommend the Cate Law Firm. Highly.
Ruth was genuinely sincere and concerned for my welfare and worked
very hard for me to learn everything about my case and get the best
results for me.
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.
I received two very strong independent recommendations for Ruth Cate. The first was from a senior therapist in a reputable counseling firm who said "Ruth is the only attorney 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". Ruth's strength is her ability to construct court presentations that resonate with judges and challenge opposing counsel. My case outcome exceeded expectations.
Ruth and her staff are the best. You can read the rest of why I say that but that's all you need to know. She's served us for several years through a very difficult situation. Ruth, Maggie and the rest of the staff are top notch. Ask any atty, Ruth Cate is hands down the one you'll be told to go to from her peers & clients. She's honest, professional and does what she says. Her staff is equally excellent. If you have a family court issue, she's the answer to whatever problem you have
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. Well done!
Ruth and her team have helped us out more times than I can count. We found out about her by asking several attorneys in town and every single attorney we asked said essentially, if you want the best family court lawyer , go to Ruth Cate. They were right. The Family Court system here in Spartanburg is slow and is often described as a meat grinder - you want to never be in it. If you find yourself in it, you do not want to skimp, you want the best and that's Ruth, Maggie, Rachel & their team.
Ruth Cate Law Firm is a highly professional team. The one thing that stood out for me was the feeling that they understood. I entered her office in tears and left with a smile. I never once felt judged or looked down on. Ruth, Marla, Rachel and I fought a long hard battle for 14 months. But it is finally over and I am ready to live again. Ruth stood up for me when I felt unable to fight anymore. She didn't give up and we were victorious in the end. I would highly recommend Ruth Cate.
Ruth and her staff were totally supportive and understanding. I felt like my best friends were supporting me through the entire process. I would recommend Ruth to anyone who is in need of a Family Court attorney.
I highly recommend The Cate Law Firm to anyone getting divorced or custody battle. Top notch and very professional!
