also known as Jordan Rutsky
When I went to law school, I envisioned a career helping people. I was able to realize that goal when I joined a firm that helped people who had suffered catastrophic injuries or had complex cases. There, I advanced from new attorney to partner before moving to Merson Law, a firm that shares my commitment to helping people in need, particularly in the areas of medical malpractice, complex personal injury, and sexual abuse.
My guiding principle has been to treat my clients with the utmost respect and dignity, regardless of their situation. The litigation process is scary enough for most people without the additional stress of having an attorney who does not return calls in a timely manner or treats their clients as a nuisance. My main goal is to ensure that the client understands what is happening and is happy with it. If either of those elements are not satisfied, I work tirelessly to ensure that they are.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Even if I cannot help, I can often point you in the direction of someone who can.

"Mr. Rutsky is a frequent contributor to an online community of attorneys that I have the good fortune to be a part of. I have lost count of the number of times Jordan has provided well-written and researched answers to some of the most difficult issues in our field. Exceptionally meticulous and knowledgeable, Jordan also demonstrates genuine care for the clients he represents, and hasn't lost sight of the reason we all went into this field in the first place."
"I came up against Jordan and found him to be a meticulous and skilled attorney who obtained an excellent result for his client. I have consulted with him over the years and have always found his advice to be helpful."
"I highly recommend Jordan as an attorney. I worked alongside him for 5 years and was thoroughly impressed by his relationships with his clients, his trustworthiness, and his intellectual curiosity about the law. In addition, Jordan tirelessly fights for and advocates on behalf of his clients. Again, I highly recommend him."
