Rutherford Law is awesome!

I recommend Rutherford Law to anyone in need of family law services. Phillip helped me navigate an unfamiliar situation and represented me in a professional and knowledgeable manner. Because of his sound advice and expertise, I was able to make good decisions about my divorce. In a time when I felt s...cared of the legal process and outcomes, and ultimately my future, he helped me every step of the way.

Child Support Woes No More!!

Phillip is one of the best family law practitioners I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. Yes, pleasure. I’m out of state, and was owed 4 years of child support on my ex’s bonuses and commissions per the support order. Halfway through our motion, my ex declared bankruptcy!! Phillip took it in his st...ride and ensured I was accurately represented in bankruptcy court and in family court. I was able to receive priority status and funds disbursed by the bankruptcy court after 7 months of wrangling. Give Phillip a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Family Guardianship was Awarded!!

Attorney Rutherford did a fantastic job when it came to delivering results for my case. I contacted Phillip Rutherford, among other attorneys, searching for someone that can help me obtain guardianship over my mentally impaired parent. He was among the first attorneys to give me a callback and the on...ly one I felt confident about. She was a ward of the state at the time due to prior circumstances. He did not guarantee me a positive outcome and was transparent throughout the entire process. I can say with confidence that he gave me his best, even during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I am thrilled to say that I was just awarded full guardianship with his help to watch over my parent adequately. Attorney Rutherford showed grit and determination with my case. I highly recommend his services to anyone that needs an attorney for family matters.
