Great Attorney

Paul Rudder is a great guy, what I like about him is that he doesn't sugar coat things. He tells you all the things you don't want to hear. Which sucks at the time but ultimately it helps you plan for the inevitable. I enjoy talking with him and he was always right. Divorce with a child is terrible, ...especially when you have a crazy ex. He made it real by being honest with me which ultimately made the process a lot smoother. I would recommend him to anybody and would certainly use him again.

Best attorney you could hope for !

Paul Rudder was my attorney through an ugly case regarding my child. Mr. Rudder received me with a warm greeting and understanding, constantly keeping me informed and reassured about the case. He is always professional and knows how to fight for you. Upon being successful in what we wanted to achieve..., it was almost as if I had made a friend with lots of legal knowledge. He will help you make the best decisions and be prepared for anything that may occur. I hope it is never necessary, but on the occasion that it is, I wouldn’t think twice to hire him again!

Paul Eric Rudder - Excellent divorce attorney in NYC

I found Paul online and I knew I was in good hands when I first met Paul. He is very experienced and professional, he pays attendtion to details and he really cares about what is good for me and my best interest. Paul has a big heart. I knew because I met lawyers who care more about their own interes...t. Not only Paul knows how to get me in a very fair divorce and in a very dignified way. if you have to go through this most difficult time, Paul might be an important person you should meet in your divorce life. His guidence may change your life. Definitely he changed mine. I highly recommend Paul as an excellent divorce attorney in NYC.

Excellent attorney

Paul is an excellent attorney and a warm, caring human being. He handled my case skilfully and obtained a favorable, balanced resolution, while also managing to make the whole painful process bearable. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul - I cannot think there is a better divorce attorney in New Yo...rk City, or maybe anywhere.

Excellent Family Lawyer

I had a personal issue few years back that I will not wish to my worst enemy and looking desperately for a lawyer I was referred to Paul and I'm glad I found him at the worst time of my life. I found Paul very responsive and knowledgeable but most of it very concerned by my situation. The case was r...esolved in my benefits in a little more than a year and during that time Paul was always available to take or retuned my calls to answer all my questions. Very knowledgable in his field of expertise. I knew all along all my options and Paul always listened to me, the way I wanted it to be done and did all his best to defend me and succeeded in the outcome of this situation. I will gladly recommend Paul to anyone looking for the right lawyer.
