Posted by anonymous | August 29, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Paul Rudder, Esq. was an excellent choice to help resolve my legal dispute , accomplished with great skill and decency.

As I am retired from the practice of law, I am unable to represent anyone in a legal matter. I have therefore been asked on occasion if I could recommend an attorney. Without hesitation I recommend Paul Rudder Esq. I am submitting this as a recommendation of Paul Rudder, Esq. based on my personal exp...erience of having hired Paul Rudder, Esq. as my attorney to help resolve a bitter and nasty dispute. As one attorney assessing another attorney’s representation, I found Mr. Rudder to be knowledgeable and thorough with a common sense approach to defuse the egregious situation for which he was hired. I was also pleased that he was accessible to me the client, too often not the case. What better endorsement could there be of Paul Rudder, Esq. than one based on my own experience of using him as my lawyer?

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.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am an attorney specializing in Estate Planning and I often refer clients to Paul. He is professional, has over 35 years of experience and is very well liked by judges and fellow attorneys. I always receive extremely positive feedback about Paul and he is a pleasure to work with. When I have a difficult case I often call Paul for advise as well and his advise and guidance is invaluable. I recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for extremely professional, ethical, and very experienced (and not overpriced) divorce attorney."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
