OUTSTANDING Attorney!!!

Keith is an Amazing attorney. He’s very professional, extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and thorough. He’s handled a complex civil issue for me without hesitation and formulated the expertise to get the job done in an expedient, coherent and easy way. He’s great in his communication ...with the judge, and has complete expertise in the law. Do not wait to hire him!

“Highly Recommend – Honest, Professional, and Effective”

I’m extremely thankful for the work Keith Rutman did on my behalf. He represented me in an expungement case and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From the beginning, he was honest, straightforward, and always kept me informed. What stood out most was how much he cared. He didn’t trea...t me like just another case—he treated me with respect and understanding, and that meant a lot. Because of his hard work, my record was successfully expunged, and I now have a real chance to move forward and rebuild without my past holding me back. If you need someone who knows the law, keeps their word, and genuinely wants to help, I highly recommend Keith Rutman.

An excellent attorney that gets results

Keith fights the good fight. If you are innocent and want to prove it, then look no further. Whether it is injustice at the hands of a peace officer, a misdemeanor or criminal charges, Keith delivers. He did so for me and got my case dismissed from court without a glitch. Now the plaintiffs have ...become the defendants and we are fighting the good fight together against injustice. Keith is trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and meticulous. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Misleading , worsened my case

He answers your case questions once when you hire him. But then wouldn't notify / answers your calls and emails about progress on the case. Provided me with misleading info just to get rid off me till the hearing. And then when the hearing date come up , he told me completely different scenarios of... outcome for which I sure was not prepared for based on what I heard from him previously. I wouldn't even hire him if he told me that before. What a waste.
