Ruth E. Brock: Experienced Trusts and Estates Attorney


Ruth Brock is the founder of Brock Zettle. Initially, Ruth practiced law with a firm in downtown Dallas, working mainly in commercial and real estate litigation. Over the following years, her practice evolved into a transactional practice with an emphasis on ensuring deals were successful and enhancing client understanding of their legal transactions.


While Ruth has conducted both non-jury and jury trials and has argued before the Texas Supreme Court, she discovered that her true interests and abilities lie in the transactional field. She enjoys focusing on language refinement to create clear and concise documents and educating her clients on their responsibilities under the documents she prepares.


Ruth places a strong emphasis on collaboration and enhancing client understanding of the law and its processes. She is highly skilled in drafting clear, concise legal documents and has experience in both jury and non-jury trials, including arguments before the Texas Supreme Court. She is passionate about transactional law and client education.
