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!

I contacted Ruth Goldner on the advice of a friend. After 29 years of marriage, I needed guidance on how to go about ending things. Ruth was with me every step of the way and waited patiently (nearly a year) before I was ready to file. She even referred me to a counselor to help me sort things out. She's done this hundreds of times, but she knows it's probably the one and only time you'll need this kind of support. We were able to craft a fair settlement and keep the entire process civil and professional. And when it looked like the agreement might derail, she had absolutely every possible alternate scenario covered. Ruth is kind, compassionate, and very sharp. She'll watch out for you during your dark days and celebrate with you when you see the light.

Ruth Goldner and David Deeg manage an outstanding practice. I’m fortunate enough to have worked with both. Hiring Ruth and then requiring David to step in seamlessly during Ruth’s maternity leave, my needs were always their priority. Ruth is a thoughtful, well spoken, experienced attorney and an excellent advisor. Allowing me understand the best options, pushing forward on well thoughtout positions and helping me stay within the “bumpers” when emotionally I was being a bit short sighted. Ruth was always honest with me, even when that meant disagreeing, but most importantly to me, she never lost sight of what was most important, my daughter, the stability of my daughter, through both short term and long term goals. She has the ability to be tenacious and firm, while being soft spoken and intentional. Ruth was always better prepared and more eloquent in explaining our position to the court than her opposing counsel. I couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend Ruth GOLDNER and David DEEG and wouldn’t hesitate to call on them again if needed.

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 engaged Ruth Goldner to handle my recent divorce, and I give her the highest recommendation. My former husband and I held the shared priority that our divorce process be kind, loving, and respectful. Though we would no longer be husband and wife, we intended to retain our friendship. In general, the legal system does not make this simple. Ruth’s flexibility made it possible. We felt no need to engage two attorneys in our divorce. Though law allowed only one of us to retain Ruth for representation, she made sure that my desires were honored as we moved through the steps of dissolving the marriage. She supported non-adversarial language in documents and correspondence, flexibility in timing of the steps (knowing that my former husband and I were conferring in the process), and an overall sense of reverence for my goals. No matter the nature of a divorce, it’s an emotional and stressful experience. I viewed Ruth more like a Divorce Sherpa than an attorney. She’s knowledgeable, thorough, professional, a clear communicator, and I’m personally grateful for the kind heart and compassion she brings to her role.

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 Goldner is the epitome of excellence, she stood true to heard word and made sure I had the most pleasurable experience working with her firm. Her knowledge, transparency, and kindness spoke volumes to the work she does. I would recommend anyone to utilize her services.

I engaged Ruth and David at Goldner-Deeg, initially to file an emergency order, then to represent me in the follow-up custody process, which was settled out-of-court, heavily in my favor. I had very specific requests/requirements, and Ruth was able to accommodate every need. She is highly professional, and genuinely invested interest and concern in mine and my child's well-being. She is detail-oriented, attentive to communications, and even the Friend of the Court counselor subsequently communicated to me "Your attorneys did an excellent job". Custody battles are often horrible and expensive, but I have to say that my money was well spent, and Ruth was absolutely great to work with. I highly recommend!
