Nicole O. November 22, 2023
Best in the business! Cannot thank Stephen enough for his work. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He is THE BEST in the business. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Mr Rue got my case dismissed within a few weeks, something that another lawyer couldn’t make happen in a year. I’m so incredibly grateful!
H. Dulcamara January 21, 2022
True Professional 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 mat ters
