Experience
Originally from the East Coast, Ruth began her legal career in New York at Brooklyn Law School; however, family and life brought her out to Texas where she practiced for many years, even serving as a Municipal Judge for over a decade. When her daughter applied to law school in Boston, Ruth took the opportunity to return to her roots and returned to the East Coast herself, joining the Massachusetts bar to continue her practice. Now, she has found a home with Melcher Law, P.C. and is part of a great team, focusing on helping people in their times of need. Ruth’s passion is family law. She finds it very rewarding as it provides the opportunity to give back to the community, helping mothers and fathers achieve the best results for their families. Ruth focuses primarily on Family law and Divorce. Ruth is a Principal Attorney at Logan & Logan LLP, an Estate Planning and Family Law Firm in Quincy, Massachusetts. She is Of Counsel to Melcher Law PC.
