Bob Ruppenthal has represented over 1,000 clients in his years as an attorney. He vigorously represents his clients and has had great success in litigated matters over the years. He takes pride in providing high quality legal services while taking the time to understand the needs of his clients and maintaining good communication and counsel.

In 2000, Bob was privileged to receive the trust of the Fayette County voters by being elected as Magistrate Judge. He was then re-elected in 2004 and again in 2008. This work as judge is an opportunity to serve our fellow citizens and provides a good and unique perspective in his legal work.

Also in 2000, Bob was appointed as the County Administrator/Conservator by the Fayette County Probate Court.

This service has increased Bob's depth of knowledge and improved his abilities to represent clients who are seeking to probate an estate, file the court required reports, establish a guardianship and/or conservatorship for a family member themselves, or make special requests of the court in managing an estate or conservatorship.

    I wanted to take a minute to thank Bob Ruppenthal for his legal professionalism. Mr. Ruppenthal is competent, responsive, and he makes folks feel comfortable. I worked with him on a multi-million dollar file, and he knew exactly how to guide us through the conservatorship. I highly recommend him.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
