Consultation Service on the Telephone

I telephoned William Rudow to request his representation for a rental property case. Mr. Rudow spent an hour of his time with me to discuss the case and provide me with direction to assist me in the case free of charge. He provided me with EXCELLENT legal advice over the phone. He walk me through ...the case over the telephone without receiving payment for his service. Rudow was very reassuring during my telephone consultation. He was very ease with the whole process. I knew where I stood the entire time. I would not hesitate to use this law firm should I need further assistance in the future

Extremely Knowledgeable

Mr. Rudow was incredibly thorough in dealing with my case. He took the time to research the law as it pertained to my case, knowing that the law is dynamic and with new cases come new rulings. He was a true advocate and fought for my cause. He also took time to speak with me and explain to me the ...nuances of my case. Excellent attorney!

Excellent, compassionate and thorough service

Mr. Rudow provides excellent service. He represented us in Orphans Court In Baltimore City. His is ethical, thorough, well versed in the law and compassionate to his clients. He is approachable and able to explain the legal process to his clients. He is committed to representing his clients in an ...intelligent and ethical manner. He spent many hours to prepare our case and it was apparent when we went to trial.

Very knowledgeable, kind hearted and honest.

We hired Bill Rudow for helping us with a landlord dispute between our landlord and our franchiser who was at that time the master tenant. Bill gave us a free consultation and even made some calls to see the position of everyone involved. Once he had a clear picture he told us our options and what ...we could expect from him if we hired him. He told us it would be a long ordeal as the landlord was not budging from their position and it may go to court. We understood our options and decided to hire him to represent us and our franchiser. After Bill Rudow had a victory with a preliminary hearing we thought the landlord may want to settle but that wasn't the case and it appeared we were going to trial. Bill did a great job preparing us for the depositions and was a great mediator and comforter with landlord's council during depositions. Then the unexpected happened, one of the franchiser's employees had a meltdown while being deposed by the landlord's council and he played right into their hands. It put a huge whole in our argument. Bill stayed calm and did a terrific job in damage control, he knew exactly what to do to overcome this huge set back. And it worked, as within a few weeks the landlord came to the reality that they may not win in court and offered to settle. Through a lot of negotiations, Bill was able to get us a new lease as master tenants. He was also very gracious to us and helped us with financing all the legal fees. It is very rare to find a lawyer who makes your case his top priority and cares about your situation. Bill not only did that but he saw us as people who were in a hard situation and took time to listen and understand us. He didn't treat us as just another job that would put money in his pocket. He was there to take every call and answer every question with clarity and gave us the hope we needed to get through the ordeal. There wouldn't be any other lawyer who I would recommend over Bill Rudow.

Debt collection lawyer | Apr 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Bill Rudow is a most impressive legal advisor and advocate, whom I "local counseled" for in a matter pending in a Michigan federal court. Our mutual client had a complex, multi-party debt recovery action involving mortgage lending violations that ultimately resolved through court-ordered faciitation. Bill had excellent control over the plaintiff's cases against the multitude of defendants and ultimately resolved the cases to the satisfaction of the client. His enviable skills and approach to litigation management and legal issues were the best!"
