Exceptional lawyer!

Paul is an extraordinary lawyer and a kind thoughtful person! I’m so grateful to have him by my side while dealing with some difficult family issues. From the very beginning, he listened, understood, and guided me with care and confidence. He made a stressful situation feel more manageable and was al...ways very honest, calm, and reassuring. I really felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared. I can’t thank him enough for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone.going through a tough time.

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!

Excellent Attorney!

Paul is very experienced and knows family law like the back of his hand. When it comes to child custody battles, Paul is intelligent, punctual and dedicated to the families he works for. Paul is confident yet realistic; he doesn't just tell you what you want to hear so will keep spending money frivol...ously in denial - he tells you the reality of what you need to know to ensure that you are always ten steps ahead of the other party. I will always look to Paul to provide legal help and would refer my best friend to him!

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.
