David Rutledge is incredibly professional, diligent and responsive. He took the time to explain everything to me and reassured me of what was to come. He is quick to respond back and checked in often to exchange updates. I would Highly recommend David if you are looking for a Dedicated Lawyer.

After the shock of being released by my employer the disappointment, anger and confusion from a long and successful management career ending, David Rutledge started working my case the day I called. His professional and personal approach resolved my employment issue quickly and to my personal satisfaction. Mr. Rutledge was always available and kept me in the “loop” throughout. Not many attorneys would even accept a “Wrongful Termination” case. David Rutledge not only accepted my word, he amicably negotiated on my behalf to ensure I received a release better to my favor. Thank you David Rutledge.

David is an excellent attorney. He helped me navigate through a labor dispute and was professional and thorough throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance with any legal advice. He's an awesome guy to have on your side!!

I felt compelled to write this review even prior to even retaining Mr Rutledge as counsel. My call to.h was at 12:12 p.m., during lunch hour. My inquiry to his staff immediately led to speAking with Me Mr Rutledge himself after about a 30 second hold. This man is extremely dedicated to his practice and made it apparent, and even more so to potential clients. I am extremely impressed with his dedication. I'm today a "hurry up and wait" & "he will call you back" , he definitely is a breath of fresh air and gives hope in humanity after all!

I knew I liked David from the first call I received, I did not speak to a receptionist or paralegal, I spoke with him.. It was so nice to actually explain my situation to him and not a middle man. Also met and spoke with him and he explained everything in detail. Any questions he is just a call or email away, and always gets back with you asap. Would definitely recommend!

I consulted with, and immediately retained his services. He was thorough with info and advice. He is very honest and does what he says he will do, no delays, or excuses. He doesn't reach for the unreachable.
