David Keeps it Real - Highly Recommended

David is someone you can count on. He can be quite busy but his office staff is really easy to get in contact with. I was harassed by a patrolman and for that I disrespectfully delivered a mouthful during the traffic stop. The citation was a no point fine, but I wanted the stop seen before a judge.... Before accepting any money, David told me time and time again that it would be cheaper to just pay the no point fine, instead of hiring him for trial representation. Not all attorneys are that integral, I know by experience. Of course a trial is higher than traffic cases, but his price for his representation is better than most firms, ALL the places I’ve called, anyway. I hired his expertise. When he saw the discovery he called me and told me that the verbal choice was not a good idea given the civilian / cop theme. I thought not even looking the cops way in court. To nobody’s shock, the cop didn’t show up for court. He took care of another case recently, similar scenario. If you are looking for proper representation, look no further than Rudoi’s Law firm. Keep it real with him, because he will do just that with you.

Best Lawyer in Town

I have known David for some time now and he has helped me with a few of my legal matters! The first interaction I had with David was back in 2013 when I needed to petition the Judge overseeing my probation to amend my probation and allow me to leave the state of MI. David was very professional and th...oughtful as how to handle this matter. Prior to meeting David I had spoke to numerous counsel but after talking with David I felt there was no other choice but to retain him. The second interaction I had with David was to have a hold released on MI driving record, over the course of the process David did his due diligence to keep me informed and stay on top of my case. The day before my actual hearing David and I met and discussed the best course of action to make it through the hearing successfully. During the hearing David asked all the right questions of me and addressed all of the concerns of the hearing officer. I left the hearing feeling very optimistic the hold would be released. About six weeks later I received notification that the hold was lifted and was able to close a chapter in my life that hung over me like a black cloud for over 10 years. I would not recommend anyone else for legal matters and give David and his staff 5 stars for there amazing legal advice and actions! Way to go team Rudoi!

Dedicated and reliable

David has represented me on a couple cases now and, I was faced w multiple felony counts on a case that involved medical marijuana and the evidence was very strong against me but Dave was able to litigate it down to a high court misdemeanor with no jail time and no probation... Fines, costs, and li...cense restricted for a year. An improbable victory and a testament to his hard work and dedication to say the least...if you want an attorney that will always answer your calls and be there for you when it matters most I think that Dave is the guy you're looking for. He works tirelessly for us... I've seen it myself and am thankful hes been there for me every time I have ever called.

"In one example, David and I co-counseled on a 2nd offense OWI case and it was eventually reduced to a careless driving after David scrutinized the Datamaster alcohol detection machine and was on the verge of suppressing it as evidence. I kept the case alive by challenging the officer and the stop, but David won the case with his superb questioning and preparation. I would trust myself in his hands."

"David is good attorney with a great mastery of the law. He advocates zealously on behalf of his clients, he is a capable trial attorney, and he is willing to put in the work necessary to get his client's cases dismissed. With great pleasure I endorse attorney David Rudoi."

"I met Dave at a rigorous 4 day trail techniques seminar in March of 2015. Although he is laid back and casual, there is a fire in his soul for his clients. Dave is serious about his role in life as an advocate for people accused of crimes. He isn't just a lawyer. Dave Rudoi is a TRIAL LAWYER. That's what people accused of crimes need in this day and age where people are often charged or overcharged by the State despite having only flimsy evidence to support the accusation. The State expects that people and defense attorneys will just cut a deal which results in the over charges going away. That's not a deal. That's selling out. Rudoi won't sell you out. Rudoi is a TRIAL LAWYER."

"There are a select few criminal defense lawyers out there who I consider to be in the upper echelon of attorneys. Dave is that lawyer. While most law students were sitting around wondering what they wanted to do, Dave was sitting second chair at trials I was doing, including major narcotic felony cases. Before he was when a lawyer, I was relying on his advice for more than just medical marijuana cases. Now that he's been a practicing lawyer for longer than I want to admit, Dave has proven to me that he's not just an excellent lawyer, he's one of the few capable of handling major felony and federal cases. Bottom line is that Dave tries more and wins more cases a year than 99% of all other criminal lawyers do in their entire career. I'm proud to say that he practiced with me when he first started and that now he's become one of the best in our profession. Dave is the guy I call when somebody in my family gets in trouble, so give him a call and let him take care of your business."

"In law school, David sat next to me in Criminal Procedure which is appropriate because he has built a name for himself as a maverick in criminal law. We've remained both friends and professional peers and I am always impressed by the exceptional results he gets for his clients. David is an excellent defense attorney working to be at the very top of his craft. I endorse this attorney."

"David Rudoi is just one hell of a criminal defense lawyer - period. In his time as a lawyer, David has already won jury trials, appeared and argued before the Court of Appeals on Michigan Medical Marijuana Act issues, zealously defended causes he personally feels are just, appeared on local Detroit news stations advocating for his clients, and had major evidence suppressed and won the dismissal of his clients criminal cases. Can you say "this guy really hit the deck running?" Well, that's Dave. When I have a criminal case I need to refer and want someone that will fight rather than talk a big game and steal a client's money, I call Dave - you should, too."
