The best

Mr Ruterbories is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of being represented by. Not many attorneys are honest, ethical, or care about your or your case, they are only interested in the amount of money they can make off your case. Mr Rueterbories is what attorneys should aspire to be.... If he takes your case, you can be assured that he cares. He will do his best for you, and his is above all, honest and trust worthy. He has gone above and beyond on my case, more so than any other attorney I have ever hired, or disputed. You wont be disappointed with Mr Ruterbories. When it comes to legal matters, the right attorney can make the world of difference between a positive outcome or total disaster. I only wish I had met him 10 years ago.

Reliable, Knowledgable and Hard Working

After hiring Mr. Ruterbories he was very precise and to the point about my case in a manner that was clearly understood. He maintained communications with me throughout the divorce and filed all the necessary documents within the time requirements. I have recommended him to family and friends because... of his experience and hard work and will continue to do so. I will retain Mr. Ruterbories for any future services that may arise.

John McManus-Operations Manager

We hired Jim to handle all our corporate litigation, corporate documents, and set up of our corporation. We found Jim to be excellent at servicing all of needs. He is very prompt, fair, and is very detailed oriented. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

James stepped in and took over our case only

James took over our case after our existing attorney requested we sign a settlement that was never agreed to. He kept us from signing an agreement would have effected our company and ourselves indefinitely. The final settlement he negotiated was fair and favorable to us and our company.
