I had the privilege of working with Ruth Goldner and her team during my divorce, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Going through such an emotionally charged time was challenging, especially with several personal factors at play, but Ruth’s expertise and compassionate approach provided the support I needed.
From the beginning, Ruth took the time to truly understand my situation, offering not only a deep knowledge of the legal system but also genuine care for the outcome of my case. She presented me with multiple options throughout the process, always ensuring that I understood the potential outcomes and implications of each decision.
What stood out most was her communication—Ruth kept me informed at every step, especially as the case evolved. She made me feel confident that my best interests were being prioritized. Ruth and her office staff were always professional, responsive, and empathetic, making a difficult process much more manageable.
I highly recommend Ruth Goldner to anyone seeking not just legal expertise, but a compassionate advocate during challenging times.

If you're going through a divorce, do yourself a favor and call Ruth! I can't imagine having survived this without her. Divorce is awful, one of the toughest things I've ever been through, but Ruth made it so much more manageable. She was incredibly kind and patient, always taking the time to answermy questions, no matter how small. And she was amazing at explaining all the complicated legal jargon in plain English. She always got back to me right away, which was a lifesaver when I was feeling anxious. But the best thing about Ruth? It was just... her! She was fun to talk to and made me laugh a LOT! It always felt like she was being real with me – like a friend helping me through it, not just some lawyer. Thanks to Ruth, I came out of my divorce with a fair outcome, and I'm feeling good about the future. Oh, and her paralegal, Celina, was fantastic too – so helpful and friendly! If you're looking for a divorce lawyer who's not only brilliant but also a genuinely good person, you won't find anyone better than Ruth. She's the absolute best!

Can’t tell you to stay away from this attorney enough. She not only won’t fight for you she fights for the OTHER person. She knows nothing about Medicare and gave me council to allow my millionaire ex to file her taxes jointly. I fought against it very hard, but it was introduced at the very end. I was told the whole thing was at risk if I blocked it from happening. Now I’m being charged $500 a month for Medicare when I shouldn’t be at all. When I called to inform her of the massive mistake I was told how easy of a fix it was and that’s it’s no big deal. My Christmas with my daughter got ruined because they took retro from my check, but it’s no big deal. Well, it turns out it’s a huge deal to fix and it’s going to cost me even more. She passed the buck when confronted. I didn’t even have enough food for the month because of her unwillingness to fight on one thing.
The worst thing she did was gang up on me with the social worker in our case. They both interrogated me for over an hour trying to get me to “walk back” my statement that the social worker had essentially coerced me into signing the parenting plan. Instead of believing me and fighting for me they both decided to try and get me to lie. I refused, and I’m glad I did. It turned out the social worker was lying, texted me accidentally admitting it in the middle of the interrogation, and quit the case the following Monday. I’m telling you coillabrative divorce is a scam to rob the poor of any opportunity to be heard. Your voice gets completely stomped on. Do not do it! Go to trial. Definitely do not hire this attorney. She’ll seem great at first, but her lack of knowledge will hurt you severely. Happy New Year.

I was referred to Ruth by a family member. Divorce can be a sad, scary thing, even if you want it. From the very first call I made to the office when Celina answered the phone, she was friendly, patient, very clear as to next steps. When she connected me with Ruth, I felt comfortable right away, she explained things clearly step by step and followed through on everything she said she would do for me. She was professional and I felt protected and guided through the process. I'm grateful to have been connected with Ruth's office so that I could get through this portion of life.

While going through a highly emotional and stressful time like divorce, it's important to feal heard. Ruth listened to me and respected my desire for an amicable divorce. She helped me strategize how to get the most out of my situation, and do so without creating a hostile environment. Her mediation approach and skills left me feeling very satisfied with my settlement outcome. Best of all, my family can still celebrate holidays together because of how the divorce was handled. I highly recommend Ruth Goldner!

My elderly father hired Ruth to assist in his late-in-life divorce. She was endlessly patient and kind, and helped him to understand all of his rights while also navigating the difficult divorce with care and compassion. My father wanted, and got, a conflict-free resolution in great part due to Ruth's representation. She was extremely responsive, always available for follow up discussions and explanation, and generally a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her for anyone going through this difficult situation.

David is really professional and good at what he does. Super friendly, respectful, clear cut communication, flexible for his clients. The paralegal who I was contacting with for schedule and other stuff is also very friendly, helpful and eager to answer any questions. I would recommend.
