EVERYONE DESERVES ACHAMPION.
The stakes are high. The other side is prepared to fight. That's when you need a true champion by your side.
“I'm here to be your champion.”
For 46 years I've represented people during the worst moments of their lives. After a crash. After a fall. After a hospital or doctor made an unforgivable error.
But throughout those years I've learned it's not enough to simply represent my clients. In their most vulnerable moments, they are looking for someone to go beyond representation, way beyond, to be their advocate and champion.
What do champions do? They make it personal. They do everything they can to make sure you and your family get what you need. They are not a machine that grinds through cases to get a “good deal.” A champion is the empathetic friend that leaves no stone unturned to get you justice and the settlement that you require and deserve.

Your champion for:
The lifechanging accidents and catastrophes that can derail your life, and the lives of your loved ones and family.
What it looked like for families like yours.
A landscaper's brain injury could have bankrupted his family. Instead his lifelong care is paid for.
A woman struck by a CTA bus faced a lifetime of unpaid care. It's paid for.
An emergency room missed what mattered. The family wasn't left carrying it.
A young woman was killed by a speeding semi on the toll road. A jury put its real value on the record.
Winning against a system designed to pay you less.
Three things I'll walk you through before you sign anything.
I'll help you know what you're up against.
Carriers dispatch investigators and reconstruction experts to the scene — often before the police report is filed.
An offer arrives while the bills are still coming in, before the full cost of the injury can be known.
Statutes of limitation and delayed responses run on a schedule that favors the party that isn't injured.
Insurers track which lawyers take cases to verdict and which do not, and account for it when valuing a claim.
I'll take you through the counter-moves that champion your case toward the best settlement.
Crash report, black box, and cell records are secured before any of it disappears.
Nothing is signed until the full cost of the injury — including future care — is known.
A case prepared as if the jury will see it removes delay as a source of leverage.
A lawyer the carriers recognize as one who tries cases, factored into every offer they make.
What to do in the first 48 hours to protect a fair settlement.
Deny the machine its head start.
Champions never quit.
Let Ruder Law be your champion.
