I limit my practice to family law in all its aspects. I seek early settlement, to save fees and avoid grief, but I do not hesitate to fight for my clients in court, when necessary.

A Championship!

When one walks in to see an attorney the first time… on the biggest life change.. I was a little numb and holding up thinking how do I begin. The moment Mr. Rutter came out of his office to meet me... I truly felt I am at the right place and in safe hands. I think anyone who has acquired or wants to... acquire an attorney.. we want someone who listens first … even if the story is an old one and he’s heard so many. He makes your story unique – an excellent advisor! Responded immediately to all my questions (some were silly )…with such great professionalism and expertise he makes it easy and suggests “the laws” in different options– which made me understand my case better and the finishing is completed the best way. Definitely a winner!!

A well seasoned, skilled, and very sensible attorney.

Marshall Rutter is an accomplished, measured, sensible and very empathetic attorney with decades of experience in practicing law. When I initially contacted Marshall, he suggested that my spouse and I try to resolve our problem using professional help instead of proceeding with our divorce. I found ...Marshall's suggestion surprising, and later, honest and helpful. Marshall was of the opinion that resolution is always preferable to a divorce. Nonetheless, seeing no solution in my blinding need for revenge, I filed for divorce. Marshall walked me through the process with patience, clarity, and compassion. He was confident that my outcome was going to be very fair. He had seen cases identical to mine, and told me not to worry. He assured me that he had dealt with much more complex cases that resulted in very good outcomes. Three months after having my spouse served, I decided to contact my spouse of 28 years because I truly did miss her. We began speaking. I reluctantly called Marshall to tell him that we were thinking about reconciling. I feared he would be disappointed in my lack of resolve, and stamina. Instead, he sounded happy for us, while at the same time, warning me NOT to sign anything, or even enter into a verbal agreement with my spouse. Everything, and anything would have to go past him for a smell-test. Marshall told me to take my time, and that he would keep my case on a hot-plate, just in case things did not work out between my spouse and me. I call that ''Being Professional'', and ''Being Ethical''. Marshall could have easily talked me out of my decision by frightening me, so that he could bill me to death. But, no. Marshall assured me again that despite all of the negative and truthful things I had said about my wife, he much preferred we resolve our differences, and change our ways towards each other. He wanted our happiness to be genuine. Marshall is a gem.

Best lawyer.

Mr Rutter is a fantastic lawyer that I would recommend to anyone. He helped me with my uncontested divorce to draw the paperwork but also gave me invaluable advice in the process. In all he made a very unpleasant process as good as it could be. I would recommend him to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
