Robert Christian Rutledge, PC - Rome, GA

I am a dedicated attorney with a robust background in both criminal defense and personal injury law. Having established the law firm Robert C Rutledge, PC, in Rome, Georgia, my practice encompasses a host of criminal defense matters, from DUI and misdemeanors to felonies such as murder.

Since my early days at the University of Georgia School of Law, where I began advocating for the defenseless at the Criminal Defense Clinic, I have been passionately committed to justice and the rule of law. My legal journey started in 2003, and upon earning my Juris Doctor in 2005 and a master’s degree in Latin the following year, I immediately immersed myself in representing those in need of a strong advocate.

Being rated “Excellent” on Avvo, I believe in thorough preparation and active investigation, ensuring that every case is trial-ready. This meticulous approach has often resulted in dismissals and favorable negotiations for my clients. My courtroom experience is extensive, having tackled complex issues such as immunity from prosecution and the insanity defense, instilling in me the confidence to persevere through trials when necessary. In addition to criminal defense, I have a proven track record in personal injury claims, helping clients navigate the aftermath of car accidents and falls, among other incidents.

I hold my practice to the highest standard of client-centered representation, understanding that the repercussions of legal issues extend far beyond the courtroom, affecting personal lives, careers and reputations. I listen and advise, offering personalized service that is both zealous and strategic. My roots are firmly planted in Georgia, and my commitment to the community is reflected in my membership with the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association and my involvement with the Coosa River Basin Initiative.
