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.

The Best Attorney Ever!

Attorney Phillp Rutherford is an awesome family law attorney! He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and trustworthy advocate for his client. Mr. Rutherford helped every step of the way with my divorce and address all my questions after the proceedings completed. You will not find a better atto...rney that will fight harder for you and your family.

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.

Highly Recommended (Divorce)

Phillip Rutherford is Amazing! Even with this COVID-19 Pandemic going on he was always there answering my calls, replying to my emails and returning my calls. Going into this Divorce process from not knowing exactly what to do, fill out he explained it to me very thoroughly. His fee’s are very reason...able for sure because I called around just like everyone else and he definitely beats the price and does the work. He listens and gives you the best advice. He took care of everything and I just waited for my Court date. I couldn’t be anymore thankful. I would definitely recommend Mr. Rutherford. Call his office for that consultation you will not be disappointed.

Exceptional

Working with Phillip was amazing. I never hired a lawyer before and wanted to know if he was doing a good job. I did my homework and consulted with multiple lawyers and had them look at my divorce case. This included lawyers who offered free consultations as well in hopes of gaining new clients. ...They each affirmed and admitted to his work as being thorough and competent. I was impressed. The outcome was desirable:) :) :) I would recommend his services to anyone seeking legal representation.
