First off I want to thank Rutter Mills for the outstanding work they continue to do. I had a case recently and it was a complex one. My lawyer, Will Nexsen did an amazing job. I would highly recommend him and Rutter Mills. I want to give a big thanks to Julia, as well, for keeping me constantly in the loop. She always texted or called me back immediately with any questions and concerns I had. I greatly appreciated that.

Shavante M.

Being involved in my first motor vehicle incident was scary and confusing (as you could imagine); but the Rutter Mills team helped me navigate everything from start to finish. I worked with Will Nexsen and his colleagues Lindsey and Denise. They made it a point to keep me informed with constant updates to my case, explaining what to expect if/when we were to go to court and just making sure I was okay and If anything was needed from them to help make this as easy for me as possible. In the end, they worked to get an offer that satisfied me and helped to keep me out of court. That was a huge blessing as I am at the end of my 1st pregnancy and not sure how the back and forth would have taken a toll on me; so my family and I are very grateful for that.

I am incredibly grateful for the unwavering support and guidance provided by Mrs. Jennah Noble and Mr. William Nexsen throughout my two-year recovery journey following my accident. Despite my impatience and urgency, they remained patient, respectful, and never once showed any aggression towards me. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and professionalism. I truly believe that their dedication to helping others will lead to continued success for their law firm. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart, and may you be blessed with continued success in all your endeavors. Farewell. Sincerely Sean
