Paul Eric Rudder
Paul Eric Rudder ESQ is a full service Family and Divorce practice in NYC.
Paul Eric Rudder, ESQ is a Family and Divorce attorney in New York City committed to providing the highest quality legal services in the most cost-effective and straight forward manner for over thirty years. My goal is to guide my clients through the difficult process of divorce and present a realistic view of the process, potential outcomes and effects on the family. Because of the diversity and number of the cases I have been involved in, I have a realistic perspective on the process. During the initial consultation with each client I explain divorce laws of New York State and outline the rights, duties and obligations of the parties, both economic and parental, when appropriate.
I understand the emotional and financial toll dissolution of a marriage and family unit takes on my clients and I am sensitive to these issues. I am also committed to protect my client's rights and get the best settlement I can in each and every case.
I also have an impeccable reputation with judges, and I am known to be responsive, accessible and prompt with all client requests. When you work with my firm, you work directly with me. I have earned the highest regards from both clients and peers.
I have been selected as the “Top Lawyer” in the Divorce Law field from 2007 to present by the New York Times Super Lawyers Section. I have also recently received the 2024 Martindale Hubbell Award with an AV Preeminent Attorney Rating for “Highest Possible Rating in Both Legal Ability & Ethical Standards.” I was also appointed to the New York City Bar Association Matrimonial Committee as of August 2015.
