5 /5 Miah Shull Olmsted: Highly Recommend Stephen Rue – Responsive, Strategic Family Law Attorney
Stephen Rue provided outstanding guidance on my complex family law matter. What impressed me most was his exceptional responsiveness. After calling three other attorneys, he was the only one who offered to meet the very next day, despite it being a public holiday. This immediate availability demonstrated his commitment to addressing my urgent situation rather than prioritizing his convenience. His demeanour was relaxed and friendly. I never felt rushed; instead, I felt valued and respected.
His ability to explain legal options, mirroring my terminology, showed expertise and attentive listening skills. His initial consulting fee was below market rate, yet the advice I received was comprehensive and actionable. While his retainers may reflect the "first-class level" service he provides, this affordable entry point made high-quality legal guidance accessible to me.
During our meeting, he balanced professionalism with genuine compassion, offering a tissue when emotions surfaced while keeping our discussion focused and productive. Beyond the consultation, he provided several no-cost strategies that created significant value and shared two quality referrals for attorneys he deemed better suited to my needs.
It was well worth the time and effort I used to find him. I discovered Stephen through the Justia.com platform and used a simple Google background search — a method Id recommend in 2025. I drove an hour away to meet with him.
For anyone needing a family law attorney who combines accessibility, strategic thinking, expertise, and compassionate understanding, Stephen Rue stands out as an excellent choice!
