Today marks four years since my former firm moved downtown to become the Houston office of a major firm.  I was the only person, lawyer or staff, who did not take part in the merger and go with my former firm.  Instead, I opted to start Rutledge Law Office, P.C., with quite a bit of excitement and a little bit a trepidation. 

It has been a road well worth taking.  

Indeed, four years later, we here at RutLaw continue to pride ourselves in providing excellent, responsive service, with the ability to take on any lawyer/law firm anywhere in Texas.  We remain the friend of the small businessperson, the homeowner, and those individuals and companies needing counsel in an increasingly challening economic climate. 

During the past year, we have:  1) moved our offices downstairs at beautiful Augusta Pines to suite 127W and extended our lease through 2019; 2) continued the process of digitizing our records and practice to provide the most effective and efficient service to our clients (we will finished this process in 2016); 3) provided excellent service to our clients, including the successful conclusion of a seven-year struggle to secure clear titled for a major Houston-area church; and 4) we began providing estate planning/will services to our clients, as well.  

As we move into 2016, I remain grateful to our staff, all our clients, and those colleagues who entrust us with their referrals and recommendations.  We will continue to work hard to keep your trust, never taking it for granted.  

So, here's to a great 2016.  For the 5-year anniversary next February, perhaps we will have "blowout" here at AP.  Stay tuned.
