One of the best Attorneys

I hired Att Rudolph twice. Att Rudolph Kuss is one of the best lawyers to work with. His counsel is sharp, on point, strategic and his expertise is impeccable with procuring evidence. I won both my cases. One of my cases was resolved even before starting a lawsuit. Att Rudolph not only helped with si...mplifying the most daunting experience of a lawsuit with his accuracy but He also negotiated and won me back what was owed and more than I could even expect. He is reliable, trustworthy works with empathy and integrity. I highly recommend his counsel. I was very pleased with my experience working with him and even his staff are extremely professional and offer the highest quality of services that superseded my expectations. If you need an attorney do not hesitate to hire him and if you are lucky He will accept your case!

Extremely Versed in the Laws of Real Estate and Construction

My wife and I had run into an issue with our contractor during our home remodel. We had never run into a situation of this kind before, which made us search for a law firm that knew the laws of real estate and construction. We reached out to Stevens & Kuss, S.C. Law Firm. After a brief phone call, we... felt Rudolph J. Kuss cared about our situation and would be the best person for our case, we hired Stevens & Kuss, S.C. Law Firm. Rudolph, "Rudy," sent us a list of the information that he needed to evaluate our situation. Rudy then sent us a document explaining how he would like to proceed with our case. From the time Rudy started working with us, he continued to update us daily, which sometimes would be nights and weekends. With Rudy being extremely versed in the laws of real estate and construction, he was able to pursue our contractor to get us an agreeable settlement. I would highly recommend reaching out to the law offices of Steven & Kuss S.C for any real estate or construction legal advice.

Great help with small case

Attorney Kuss took our case, even though for him, it wasn't going to be a huge payday. But we needed help, and probably couldn't have navigated it without him. He gave us time and attention, and kept us updated via email of how things were progressing. He was also very helpful during our negotiations.... He didn't have to spend the time for such a little return, but he did, and helped our family out in a tricky situation.

A Plus Attorney

Wow, what a breath of fresh air to meet such a wonderful attorney recommended by another respected Law Firm Affeldt Law. We had a property dispute over contracts that were not properly discloses that included permit issues upon purchasing a new home. Attorney Kuss was very knowledgeable and compassio...nate to our situation. We had a favorable outcome without going to court.

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.
