Review of Samuel Rudolph

My case invoved employment issues regarding the FMLA and Dsability Act. Mr. Rudolph was very professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, quick to respond, reasonablein his fees,, and was very detailed in his work. He was compssionate. He worked diligently and did extra research on these acts and also ...worked with the DEFH to reach a positive outcome. He was easy to work with and sougnt other colleagues as needed to further providing a positive outcome. He was very well informed and explained everything he would doing. I would recommend him to others.

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.
