These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“One of the best in the area.”
“Mike is still the guy many of us turn to when we have a tough issue in a criminal or OWI case. He is probably THE attorney for OWI defense in the Fox Valley.”
“The best. Always knowledgable and prepared.”
“He has been the "go-to" guy on criminal cases, and especially OWI and drug offense cases, in the Fox Valley for years. Was a member of the WACDL Strike Force. I would not hesitate to refer a family member or friend to him if they needed a defense lawyer.”
“I think that Attorney Rudolph is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced DUI/OWI attorneys in the area. I would very much endorse him.”
