I was very impressed with both Mr. Rudolph's depth of knowledge as well as his professionalism and kindness. This was quite a convoluted mess of a case, one with several outside hearings going on at the same time, sometimes interfering with the matter at hand, but once Mr. Rudolph took the time to research the validity of my concerns, he never wavered in his confidence and trust in me. He figuratively then literally stood by my side as my advocate the entire time, most impressively during mediation where I tended to get a bit heated. This case is just now coming to a close (1yr, 7 months since filing) with my desired results. The charged party used delay tactics in order to have me give up. Mr. Rudolph dealt with each delay in a calm manner, letting them know his client (me) would not back down, and finally resulting in a satisfactory settlement agreement. I recommend him without reservation.

Great Lawyer to Work with
I approached Mr. Rudolph for a potential labor violation case. He ended up taking the case and we were successful. He put in many hours of work into my case. He is very thorough and confident. I appreciate all he has done. He has helped me close a chapter in my life.

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.
