I have been a Family and Divorce attorney in New York City committed to providing the highest quality legal services in the most cost-effective and straight forward manner for over thirty years. My goal is to guide my clients through the difficult process of divorce and present a realistic view of the process, potential outcomes and effects on the family. Because of the diversity and number of the cases I have been involved in, I have a realistic perspective on the process. During the initial consultation with each client I explain divorce laws of New York State and outline the rights, duties and obligations of the parties, both economic and parental, when appropriate.
I understand the emotional and financial toll dissolution of a marriage and family unit takes on my clients and I am sensitive to these issues. I am also committed to protect my client's rights and get the best settlement I can in each and every case.
I also have an impeccable reputation with judges, and I am known to be responsive, accessible and prompt with all client requests. When you work with my firm, you work directly with me.
I have been selected as the “Top Lawyer” in the Divorce Law field from 2007 to present by the New York Times Super Lawyers Section. I have also recently received the 2024 Martindale Hubbell Award with an AV Preeminent Attorney Rating for “Highest Possible Rating in Both Legal Ability & Ethical Standards.” I was also appointed to the New York City Bar Association Matrimonial Committee as of August 2015.

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, ...
