Steven Rudd

My family hired Mr. Rudd a couple of years ago. We interviewed several law firms and we felt that he was the most upfront and honest (though admittedly blunt) estate attorney in the area.
Pros:
— He and his paralegal, Lynna, are very clear with communication and respond quickly and professionally to calls and email inquiries
— Trained at Stanford Law School
Cons:
— We had to request for 1 hour of free consultation when we were first interviewing him (it wasn’t offered until we asked, unlike other law firms)
— There were many typos, including our names (which at the very least they should get correct!), in several documents. However, we have worked with many highly rated lawyers and sadly typos seem to happen often in this industry. We were also charged for the time they took to correct these typos and had to request for that time to be deducted from the bill.
Tip: all lawyers bill by 15 min increments, so regardless of who you end up choosing, you should come to your appointment organized and ready.
I would do business with him in the future.
