Rudman & Smith Law

Peace of mind, easy to work with, very concise. Would happily work with again.

Mr. Rudman worked tirelessly on my case and achieved results that went above and beyond expectations. He was always available to answer questions and alleviated all concerns as they came up. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend him enough for your legal needs.

As a 2L at Emory, I'm accustomed to a certain standard of professionalism, one clearly alien to this firm. My journey for representation on COVID traffic tickets, ongoing for two years due to pandemic-related continuances, led me to this… establishment. It has, if nothing else, served as a painful, $6,000 lesson: never pay attorneys 100% upfront until your case is resolved. This is basic practice, something any reputable firm in St. Louis or Atlanta—the kind that actually operates efficiently—would adhere to. Incompetence on Full Display The atty assigned didn't deign to show up for my case until June of last year – two years after I engaged their services! To then accuse me of being unresponsive after I paid him cash with the explicit understanding that my presence would be limited is not just insulting, it's a testament to a level of ethical bankruptcy you'd rarely encounter outside of a first-year law school hypothetical on professional misconduct. For $6,000, I essentially received nothing but the privilege of shopping for another attorney, a process made easier only by Georgia's thankfully diverse legal market, unlike the apparent scarcity of competent counsel at this particular address. This experience is precisely why individuals with serious legal needs gravitate towards the established, professional environments of firms like Bryan Cave or King & Spalding. They offer a baseline of competence and client service that is simply bewilderingly absent here. Save your money, and more importantly, save your sanity. This firm is, quite simply, out of its depth, and it shows.

I am so glad I found Derek Rudman to represent me. He communicated every step in my case very clearly and made sure that I understood each step of the process. Highly recommend . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I worked with Derek to resolve two tickets for a family member. The second violation was quite serious and the family member was facing a significant penalty. Derek worked significant legal magic to resolve both cases in a way that worked very well for us, and kept the related driving record free of points. He is highly communicative, timely and most importantly understands the messiness of families and was very compassionate about our situation. I would not hesitate to work with him again if similar issues were to arise.

Derek Rudman was very responsive and returned my calls immediately. He was very patient and provided the best service and outcome for our situation. THANK YOU SO MUCH Derek. He is very personable as well, he does not arrogant or seemed to be a know it all. I am a very organized person and want information if I do not understand and he followed back up with all of my concerns. Derek is someone you want representing you.

Great guy. Really helped me out. Highly recommend.

Derek is a great attorney, has great communication skills, very professional, response time is great. I highly recommend him. If you don’t know who to go to he is the person you should consider. I’d give him 100 stars ⭐️

100% unprofessional, won’t answer calls, avoids calls and not worth your time. Kept the claim for 6 months and abruptly backed out of the claim, costing us 6 months of our statute of limitations. Absolutely no reason gave at all why they were quitting. We should have known! Don’t waste your time and select another firm !

Derek is just amazing. He pulled me from a serious traffic violation situation absolutely clean. He is highly professional and reliable. He is your friend in need. I recommend him to anyone anyday.

Great group of guys, I highly recommend this guys, they strongly care about what's going on in your life thank you guys God bless you

I can't say enough good things about Rudman&Smith. If you want a knowledgeable, detailed attorney that will work for your best interests then look no further. Derek has helped me out a few times. He is always on top of things and no question is too small. I can't recommend them enough.

Derek Rudman was extremely helpful, communicative, provided me with stellar legal counsel. Thank you!

I appreciate him so much. A+ wouldn't do justice. Quick responses and promptness at all times. I couldn't ask for a better representative. Thank you again for everything!

Derek Rudman's expertise handling a 3 year long, difficult case for my family member was nothing short of stellar. He was a constant source of clarity and encouragement throughout this ordeal. I would recommend Derek a million times over. Thank you!

Ive had not just 1, but multiple tickets and Mr. Rid man has helped me so much. including back to back tickets, he’s communicated with me extremely well and has made everything super easy. I strongly encourage calling to anyone I know as well as anyone reading this.

I made one of the best decisions of my life, hiring Attorney Timothy Smith to represent me in a criminal case. Attorney Smith did EXACTLY what I hired him to do, while exceeding my expectations at the same time. I am greatly appreciative of all his efforts, and I cannot say enough about this man. If somehow you find yourself needing legal representation, Attorney Timothy Smith is THE man for the job!

I have been a client of Derek and the team at Rudman and Smith for many years and cannot recommend them highly enough. They have consistently delivered outstanding results, which has not only benefitted my professional dealings but also provided me invaluable peace of mind. Their expertise and dedication are evident in every interaction, and their ability to navigate complex issues effectively makes them a top choice for anyone in need of reliable legal counsel.

Helpful, but did not hire them..
