Known as a tough civil litigator who represents property owners in construction defect and real estate lawsuits, and employees in cases involving sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination, Kenneth G. Ruttenberg is an AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell®, the highest designation an attorney can earn, nationwide. In 2014, he was named a Southern California “Super Lawyer” by his peers, and from 2015 through 2022, has been listed among the Top 100 Super Lawyers of Southern California. Ken’s aggressive approach to litigation has earned him rave reviews for acting as his clients’ voice and fierce advocate in the legal system. One of his past clients wrote: “You will never find an attorney as qualified and dedicated as Mr. Ruttenberg. His strength of character cannot be matched.” Over the 25+ years that he has been practicing law, he has settled numerous cases involving sexual harassment, disability and racial discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination.
Similarly, on matters of construction defects, he has obtained multiple six and seven-figure settlements and awards on behalf of property owners, both in court and in arbitration. Additionally, he has obtained verdicts or settled lawsuits involving real estate disputes, personal injury, mold exposure, medical malpractice, wrongful death, breach of contract, business disputes, and insurance bad faith. He also has two published opinions from the California Court of Appeals. All told, Ken is considered one of the best civil litigators in Southern California.
Ken’s expertise in representing the owners of single-family homes, apartment buildings and condos in construction defect lawsuits comes from his years of practicing real estate law. Over that time, Ken has built valuable relationships with construction experts in all fields to assist in uncovering hidden defects and calculating damages. With all of his clients, Ken is able to win their trust and get the job done.
