        I retained Stephen Rue after having an attorney that had underestimated my ex-wife and her attorney and their intent. Mr. Rue did an outstanding job and his knowledge of the law and family court is second to none. His advice has been on par and has really helped me through a difficult custody situation. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone searching for a great attorney.

        After getting a restraining order on Friday after 5pm, I started looking and reviewing a lot of lawyers in my area for an expert in Family Law. On Monday night (holiday), I called Mr. Rue and he took my call. He scheduled an urgent appointment for me the next day, after briefly explaining my case and informed him of the court date within two day. Next day, I met with Mr. Rue and he studied the case and developed a plan in a very short time and different approaches including pressuring the other party to dismiss the case. He assured me that he will do everything in his power and knowledge to end the case in my favor and all I need to do is sit back and relax. On the court day, Mr. Rue was able to pressure the other party to dismiss the case. He was able to protect my future and my reputation through his representation. Lastly, if I didn’t win the case, I might lose a lot of things such as school and job due to security clearances.

        Mr. Rue provided superb legal guidance and attorney services for a recent child custody case in X Paris LA. Highly recommended if one is in need of legal guidance regarding family law. I am sure that Mr Rue will be just as skilled in other legal matters

        Stephen Rue handled my case very well and he kept me updated on anything involving my case from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend him to someone else who needs him. I thank him for everything that he did, don’t know what would’ve happened without his help. i’m truly blessed!
