Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
I’ve been represented by both Derek Rudman and Timothy Smith in separate cases, and each time I was very happy with their service. They are very quick to respond to any call or text, and that is an attractive quality in any attorney. If I need more representation in the future, I will definitely be calling them first!

I have engaged the services of Rudman & Smith Law many times over the past 15 plus years. They are extremely professional, effective, and talented in their representation of their clients. I could not have asked for a more responsive group of attorneys who are extremely knowledgable of the law and who have met my legal needs time and time again. They are a pleasure to work with, have reasonable prices, and each time they have been able to help me tremendously achieve what I needed. I give them the highest recommendation possible and are the only representation I will ever use.

Derek Rudman was my attorney for a issue I had. He started on my case before covid-19 started and in the middle of all of this the pandemic hit. Derek was very responsive when it came to keeping me updated on the many delays that happened and always looking out for my best intrests. Derek was fantastic and not only did he get me what he promised but he made it better then I imagined. My hats off to the Rudman and Smith law firm but most of all, Derek Rudman. Thank you very much for everything. I don’t plan on returning to Derek in the future because and only because I don’t plan on getting

I was in need of legal advice and guidance in a situation. And Mr. Rudman was available anytime i needed and was able to explain the process as it went along for about 10 months. And he was always very efficient at handling and question or issue I had. He was able to get answers when I was ignored and really made a horrible accident and process much less stressful. I cant thank him and his firm for all the guidance and carw i was shown. I highly recommend this firm if you are in the need of legal help. Thank you all very much!!!

Let's face it, if you are hiring an attorney, you are probably dealing with a difficult situation. You want to know that the firm you are hiring has the experience your case deserves and will always have your back. The Attorneys Rudman and Smith are all experienced consummate professionals.
Dealing with the court system is a scary and confusing experience.
In my experience, Rudman and Smith has always been responsive and good at communicating any situation. I have always known where my case stood and what the next step would be.
Over the years, they have handled several cases for our family

I had a very trying case that Mr. Rudman helped me through every step of the way. He provided guidance through the court system, legal advice and ensured that I was aware of all of my legal options. He stayed on task and even helped to make sure I stayed focused on what was most important. Mr. Rudman is, in my opinion, one of the most capable attorney's in the St. Louis area. That was eight years ago and I still maintain contact with Mr. Rudman today as a trusted resource and advisor.

Rudman & Smith Law is a small minority-owned firm that offers top tier legal representation capable of going the distance and succeeding even against much larger multi-billion dollar corporations' legal teams. I've had the opportunity to work primarily with Doug Rudman a WASHU law school graduate; Doug believes in justice and will work diligently to help you attain justice and resolve in your case. Probably one of the best firms to go to if you've experienced injustice and Doug Rudman is probably one of the top attorneys you'll find in the whole St. Louis Metropolitan/Eastern Missouri region, seriously

This law firm is very professional, well mannered and attentive to their clients. Attorney Timothy Smith assisted with a legal case and handled business! He went above and beyond to make sure my case was resolved. During the process he was professional, respectful, kind, alert, and communicated everything to me, every step of the way. There were never any grey areas. Definitely recommend his services, you won’t regret it.

Mr. Rudman has been representing me in all of my legal matters for several years. From traffic fines to drug-related offenses, he has handled all of my charges, and all at a very reasonable cost. His team is professional, quick, and effective. I owe the firm all of my gratitude for their amazing representation. If, heaven forbid, I run into any more legal trouble, they will always be my go to firm!
