Fighting for Fellow Citizens
In 2003, during his second year of law school at the University of Georgia, Mr. Rutledge began helping attorneys defend people at the Criminal Defense Clinic. He then practiced law at the Clinic for two semesters in 2004 under the Third Year Practice Act. Since graduating in 2005, Mr. Rutledge has represented people who need a strong advocate.
Mr. Rutledge has handled a multitude of criminal issues ranging from DUIs to murder trials. Throughout representation, he actively investigates and prepares for trial. At the same time, Mr. Rutledge seeks to put his client in an advantageous position for negotiation. Many of his criminal cases have been dismissed in negotiation and after successful motions to suppress. He has handled countless probation revocations. He has also litigated other issues such as immunity from prosecution, double jeopardy, incompetence to stand trial, the insanity defense, and a writ of prohibition. All this experience leads to confidence in taking cases all the way to trial if necessary.
Mr. Rutledge has also assisted in handling many personal injury claims including car wrecks, slip-and-falls, trip-and-falls, and active negligence. At a previous law firm, Mr. Rutledge sent demands and secured money for many injured people without going to court. He also litigated several cases in both state and federal court. Mr. Rutledge assisted the firm in collecting millions of dollars for injured people.
