Excellent acumen, quality guidance and dedication. Highly recommend!

Words can’t suffice to express my gratitude to Mr. Ruttenberg. He is intelligent, experienced, professional, compassionate and kind. Not only his experience with civil litigation but also his knowledge of other legal areas make him so valuable in solving complex cases. I don’t know what I would have ...done without his help and support on my case.

Some attorneys still like to win!

I hired Ken just before he started his own firm to handle a breach of contract matter with a software development company. I was thrilled with the results. He keeps emails short and knows when it's better to pickup the phone or have you come in the office. More importantly he knew the facts in my ...case and rehearsed his arguments well-before the arbitration. The best part is he treats his clients with respect. Needless to say, he got every dime I was owed from the opposing party in my case. Plus he got attorney's fees, costs and pre-judgment interest. The bottom line is Ken instinctively understands the formula for winning cases and he delivers results.

Hard working Attorney, dedicated to his clients

Ken Ruttenberg is a confident, determined and intelligent attorney who has the utmost compassion for his clients. After being told by other attorneys that I didn't have a case I had lost hope. I came across Ken Ruttenberg and decided to call his office. Roxanna and Ashley, his assistants were extreme...ly helpful from arranging our first meeting until the very end when the case settled. Ken listened to my case. He asked questions and he did a lot of research. Ken called me daily to let me know how things were going even if there wasn't a change. He always wanted me to know I was a priority and things were progressing. He stayed positive and confident and reassured me even when I was exhausted from it all. His professionalism and knowledge make him an exceptional attorney capable of anything. I would recommend him to everyone and I am truly thankful to him and his staff for all that they have done for me during my case. They are people that helped change my life for the better and I am very grateful to them all.

A Great Attorney Who Will Win Your Case By Being Bright, Aggressive and Still A Real Human Being.

As a former attorney and businesswoman, I'm first to admit that I'm not the easiest of clients, but Ken, from our first meeting, impressed me not only because he was obviously very smart, but was able to build a high level of trust with me and confidence in his abilities to pursue my difficult case. ...Throughout the many, many months he represented me, I saw first-hand the respect and credibility that he garnered from opposing counsel, witnesses and even, the mediator of my case who was an esteemed, former judge. And they all genuinely liked him because he was the real deal. I felt that Ken, as a trial lawyer should, was truly fighting for my case, but more importantly to me, he knew I wanted to settle it, so despite being a litigator, he followed my wishes and pursued the case with both vigor, but also respect, grace and intelligence; qualities I see rarely in lawyers today. During settlement negotiations he took the high road, never resorting to anger or intimidation when many lawyers would and this was a very powerful way of dealing with the multiple opposing counsels. I would say that Ken is a combination of a competitive spirit that you need as motivation for a trial lawyer, but also possesses the ability to consider beating his opponent as secondary to pursuit of finding the fairest, and most elegant solution, which is my own case was the settlement that I wanted. I consider Ken and his partners and firm as my firm for life (hopefully a little later than sooner:) I give him an A+ and my highest recommendation, not only because of how he handled my particular case, but because he has a high level of expertise in many different areas of law (which is not common anymore) and I have already recommended him to many friends and colleagues who have had a wide range of legal issues which Ken was able to address with the same level of skill. I, myself, am a tough professional and perfectionist so when I write something positive, it really does mean something.

Honored and Respected

My daughter had become very ill due to a toxic mold that was in the home we were renting. After speaking with several attorneys in my local area that turned me away by saying I didn’t have a case and I couldn’t be helped, I came across Mr. Ruttenberg’s law firm online and found that he was loca...ted over 4 hours from where we lived. Due to my daughter’s condition and the distance between us I hadn’t had a chance to meet him in person right away, but I knew from the first moment we spoke we had been blessed with Mr. Ruttenberg. His passion for his work and knowledge that he had, made me feel extremely comfortable in such a stressful time in my life. It was a long battle for my 5 year old daughter and our family, however, having Ken at our side and dealing with the legal end of our situation, so I could put 100% of my focus on my child in need, gives me great honor to call him a man of knowledge and heart. He stood by us and fought the greatest fight and I can’t thank him enough for everything he did to help us when we were told we couldn’t be helped. I would and have recommended Ken any chance I get!
