I have been practicing law in Los Angeles County for five decades and still love serving my clients to resolve their personal problems or crises. I started practicing at O’Melveny & Myers, a very large and excellent firm, where I learned the importance of constant study, thorough preparation, hard work and total dedication to one’s clients’ needs.

Initially I practiced in the field of business litigation, but I have gradually evolved into a family lawyer working for the best interests of individual clients who are going through turbulent times in their lives. I believe my caring and compassionate nature suits this sort of practice very well.

About 37 years ago, a friend and I formed the firm formerly known as Rutter Hobbs & Davidoff Incorporated. It grew into a firm of more than 30 business lawyers, where I was the only lawyer practicing family law.

Very recently, I decided that my practice could be best performed in a smaller setting, so I opened my current office, Law Office of Marshall A. Rutter, A Professional Corporation. Although my office is in Pasadena, I serve clients all over Southern California.
