Hired Attorney 2017-2020I would like to take a moment to share how Larry Ruder superseded our expectations as our attorney. He is absolutely amazing, hard-working and 100% dedicated to his clients. My mother and niece were involved in a high speed police pursuit, which led to a tragic accident. Due to the accident, my 13 year old niece lost her life, and my mother suffered numerous serious injuries. We met Larry through a friend of the family, and he immediately took time out of his day to personally come and visit us in the intensive care unit. When he first visited us, he never mentioned that he was taking on our case, which is uncommon because most attorneys lead with that. On the other hand, he was very compassionate and offered his condolences for our loss. He is such a kind-hearted individual who truly cares for his clients and their families. Even though we were in the middle of a chaotic point in our lives, he provided us with a sense of calm whenever he accompanied us, and acted as if he were part of our family. Throughout the process, he kept us informed and updated us regularly, he always picked up his phone each time we called, and he responded to our messages in a timely fashion. Larry worked countless hours to ensure our family obtained some form of justice; although, what we truly wanted was for this tragedy to have never occurred. We cannot thank him enough from the bottom of all of our hearts for his dedication and hard work, enduring sleepless nights, fighting for our family, and for simply just being here for us in our time of need.

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.
