Attorney Wilkerson did a tremendous job helping me navigate a difficult time. I appreciated her emotional intelligence and ability to provide reassurance and optimism at times they were needed.
More than that I appreciated her intelligence/IQ- she understood the implications of what was being discussed and how to protect me, she was always beyond prepared, and I felt very comfortable knowing she was on my side.

I am extremely impressed with my Divorce attorney Jim Murphy and his paralegal Jessica Mitchum. They were both with me from start to finish in a very difficult high conflict divorce. I learned to trust the process and to trust my attorney. The divorce ended with everything that I asked for being honored. Not only were they there for me when I would panic, but I also felt that they truly cared about me. They work really well together to ensure that no Stone is left unturned. Jim counsels with a high degree of ethics. He is highly experienced and knows what he is doing. Jessica is also highly experienced. If I had to do my divorce all over again, I would absolutely use Jim Murphy Because he really did take care of me

I had a great experience with HP Law. My husband and I wanted a prenuptial agreement drawn up prior to our marriage and didn’t know where to start. Ruth helped guide me through the process patiently and thoroughly. She and the staff drew up a very thorough prenuptial agreement and helped tremendously through the entire process, which can be a bit confusing for someone going through this for the first time. I am very thankful I found HP law prior to my marriage and would highly recommend Ruth and the firm for any family matters such as a prenuptial agreement.

I was very fortunate to have retained Ruth Wilkerson earlier this year to represent me and my interests in a child support modification. Contacting her and arranging a consultation was a smooth process. She addressed my concerns and provided valuable advice regarding my interests. I am very thankful for her representation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a professional AND personable lawyer. 10/10. I'll retain her services again without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Ruth Wilkerson highly enough. After 36 years of marriage, I found myself navigating an incredibly contentious divorce, and Ruth was exactly the kind of attorney I needed to guide me through such a difficult time. From the very beginning, she was prompt and responsive—often replying to emails and calls immediately, which gave me such peace of mind throughout the process.
What truly stood out to me about Ruth was her ability to balance her representation of both parties while always keeping my best interests at the forefront. Her advice was clear, detailed, and incredibly helpful. She asked thoughtful questions that I never would have considered, ensuring that every loose end was tied up before finalizing anything. At times, I made suggestions that, in hindsight, wouldn’t have been wise, but Ruth patiently explained why certain paths would be better for me in the long term.
What’s more, Ruth’s approach was not just about legal expertise—she was also kind, compassionate, and understanding during a very emotional time. She was always professional, but there was a genuine care in how she handled my case. I felt supported, respected, and confident in her guidance every step of the way.
Hiring Ruth was, without a doubt, the best decision I could have made. I’m grateful for her exceptional service and would recommend her without any reservations. If you need a skilled, thoughtful, and compassionate divorce attorney, Ruth Wilkerson is the one to call!

I am so grateful I chose Ruth Wilkerson to represent me in my divorce case. She was quick, efficient and veryyy patient with me and everyone involved in my case. She understood more about what I needed than even I did! She fought hard to get the case closed and did whatever was needed to get the job done! She is also an incredible human!!
Don’t hesitate to hire Ruth. You will be so glad you did!!!

Recently, my ex-wife and I found it necessary to alter our original qualified domestic relations agreement. I reached out to Ruth Wilkerson who represented me in my divorce nearly 7 years ago and she immediately responded. She continues to offer sound advice and professional instruction along with a voice of reason that I find great value in. Thank you Ruth.

Ruth was outstanding in all matters. For my case she heard and understood the main points I was fighting for personally. And together we laser focused and got it done mine was I am sure outside the norm. But with her expertise we were able together to quickly finalize and wrap up the divorces in a very short time peroid despite custody issues.
But at the same time I knew Ruth would be ready if things went astray and we ended up in court or a contentious fight. Other laywers will be "cheaper" but whenever I needed Ruth she was there in minutes, there was never a time I went longer than even 30 minutes(if that) I can remember without a returned phonecall. I have heard from others that their lawyers took them days if not longer for a response.
Some lawyers are bloodhounds or relentless you find on Google or online when looking for laywers and only know one way to fight and come at a case. They may end up on the #1 most recommended due to that but that approach lacked the finesse that i wanted .
I stand by my assessment Ruth is like a fox. She's smart and will take in all accounts for each person and case but at the same time is ready and has already prepared if things end up needing a more direct firm approach.
Needless to say I will continue to use Ruth, if I ever have any other issues with Custody or legal problems down the road.
And will recommend her to any close friends who have issues too as I have no doubt in my mind and if you look at other reviews she really does handcraft a plan and tactics and strategy that is tailor fit to each client that is unique.
