Posted by JGM | March 31, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Highly recommend.

Jim has updated wills for my husband and me as well as for my elderly parents. He is very personable and did a wonderful job taking complex legal aspects of our documents and explaining in layman's terms so we understood completely. He answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. The staff at ...his practice is friendly and professional. My family and I highly recommend Jim Rutledge and his law office.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
