I was extremely pleased with Ruth and her staff when she represented me during my divorce. She is knowledgeable, an excellent listener, very sympathetic, and she conducted herself in the courtroom with grace and poise, unlike the belligerent opposing attorney. Even today, several years later, I can email or call her with a question about my circumstances and her reply is always prompt. A court bailiff reaffirmed my opinion when he stopped me after a hearing to tell me I had an excellent attorney.

Maggie Nowell has proven to have the knowledge and experience needed to represent clients going through family court matters with the confidence and work ethics required to get results. Maggie was my attorney for our Custody Modification case involving my son, she was extremely thorough and diligent in her efforts and I could not be more pleased with not only the outcome of my case but in her abilities and dedication as well, I can highly recommend her to anyone needing a GREAT attorney.

I used The Ruth Cate Law Firm when I went through a very traumatic time of divorce when my ex-wife decided to have an affair with another man and progressively escalated downward in drug use even all along while our children where 5 and 6 years old. Ruth Cate seen that a system that was normally set up for the protection of mothers in divorced situations, was actually going to hurt me and my children whom I was more than glad to raise by myself if necessary. Ruth Cate is at the helm and controls all that goes on with compassion and care that is second to none. She actually practices the law the way it is supposed to be done. She and her team dots every i and crosses every t. The results I got has made The Ruth Cate Law Firm a lifelong friend that I will always seek my legal advice through even if it is to be directed to another firm for services not specialized in. Thank you Ruth for you contribution to the human race and the care that you administer it with.

Working with Ruth and her staff was truly good. Divorce is a tough thing to go through and through it all, Ruth was calm, supportive, and knowledgeable. She truly helped me through a difficult time. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a good attorney.

I have worked with the attorneys at the Cate Law Firm and can say with great sincerity - "They are fantastic"! Maggie Nowell is wonderful. She is professional, personable and cares a great deal about her clients. I would highly recommend the Cate Law Firm.

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.

Maggie demonstrated a keen knowledge of Child & Family Law in SC. She also has a clear grasp of what the Judge will be looking for and provided sound suggestions for moving forward. Although the case is ongoing, I am confident that she will be the first counselor we have hired in this eight year battle that will be able to bring about real justice for mother, child and their entire family. We are very happy that we found her and the Cate Law Firm. Fees were extremely competitive and we felt appreciated by everyone we met in Maggie's office. Wish we had known of Cate Law Firm sooner.
