Getting You the Best Deal Possible
Experienced San Diego, California, Attorney
"It's not my job as your attorney to tell you what you want to hear. My job is to tell you what you need to know." — Keith H. Rutman, Attorney at Law
My name is Keith Rutman and I have practiced law in San Diego County for more than 20 years. My practice is devoted to criminal defense work, and police misconduct cases. I also handle select business litigation cases.

Whether you are facing criminal charges, have suffered a serious injury at the hands of the police, or are a small business owner engaged in a legal dispute, you deserve a clear picture of what the legal system can and cannot do for you.
