Peraza Real Estate recently collaborated with Ruth for an in-person seminar. Our clients were privvy to her expertise in wills, trusts, estate planning and supplementary documents they need to protect their assets and family. She was extremely prepared, articulated complex points, and answered a ton of real-life scenarios in real time.

It was very evident that she has the experience needed to guide families through any situation that might arise. In the past few days, multiple clients have already met with her for a consultation.

We can't recommend her enough! She's the best trust and estate planning attorney in San Diego.

Ruth is my real estate attorney and my family’s estate attorney. Ruth is an excellent human and an excellent attorney. She is very sympathetic towards her clients and also can be an amazing devils advocate. She understands every single side of the legal situation brought to her. She is sharp! She put my family and I at ease and made us feel comfortable during a very uncomfortable transition. She is a unicorn in the legal field, it is very rare that attorneys are legally creative. Ruth is a very creative attorney who has a powerful grip on the law, empathy and bigger picture. The thing that I love about working with Ruth outside of her high emotional IQ, is that she is rational and gives you polar opposites of possible outcomes. I look forward to working with Ruth for many years to come and I highly recommend her!

My wife and I recently bought a condo in Mira Mesa. We were leasing the condo from the owner for over a year. One day, the owner told us that she was moving out of CA, and hence, she was selling the condo, so she was giving us our 30 days notice to leave, or an option to buy. Since my wife and I were already considering buying, we started dealing directly with the purchase as a FSBO.

It was our first time buying real estate, so we had tons of questions, we didn't understand how the escrow process worked, neither our rights as tenants of the soon to be sold property. So we decided to look for a real-estate attorney. After speaking with Ruth, both my wife and I felt very confident that she understood our needs, so we hired her, and that was one of the best decisions we took during our purchase.

From the first call, Ruth was very patient, gave us very clear advise on how to proceed in our situation. Once hired, she immediately went over our purchase agreement, she was very thorough, pointed at errors and gave recommendations. On top of it, she had an amazing response time.

A lot of people who have dealt with the escrow process have told us that you end up signing a lot of documents, that you don't have any idea what they meant. We didn't feel that way. Whatever document we sent to Ruth, she explained carefully what it was for, and gave recommendations on how to fill it out. She also guided us over what documents we had to ask the owner, the agents, escrow officer, etc.

The purchase of the condo was finally successful, and we look forward to work with Ruth on our will.

It goes without saying that we highly recommend her.

Ruth is amazing! Yesterday I had the honor of working with her and her hospitalized client who was in need of a rushed set of documents. As she was speaking to her client on a soeakerphone, I could hear the warmth, kindness and compassion in her voice as she made sure her client understood the important points of the documents he was going to sign. The client and his son spoke of her highly to each other and to me because of the speed and professionalism in which she handled their needs. I look forward to working with Ruth in the future!

Ruth Ryan-Cruz is a true professional. My husband and I are first time homebuyers. At the time we contacted Ruth, we were overwhelmed with paperwork. Even though we were a week out from closing, we wanted to do our due diligence to make sure we didn't overlook anything.

That's where Ruth stepped in and provided a quick turnaround so not to delay our closing. In this sellers market, the home buying timeline moves fast. Unfortunately, our realtor did not take the time to provide an overview of the process to prepare us. Ruth on the other hand, was able to review all documents, explain the series of paperwork we signed, point out any issues (luckily there were none), and provide additional websites important to reference as homeowners.

The day I reached out to Ruth I was stressed and frustrated. After wrapping up our final call, I feel completely reassured and confident about our first purchase. Thank you Ruth for translating jargon and legalese into plain English that everyday home buyers could understand.

I highly recommend Ruth Ryan-Cruz Law for assistance during the home buying process!

5 star review and the highest of recommendations. I’ve had a couple of different experiences with other attorneys regarding my trademark process and general small business inquiries. Ruth is efficient, thorough and looks from many different angles. She is absolutely fantastic!
