DALE:
"I was stopped on an overpass on interstate 64 in the city of Hampton when I heard a loud crash and was rear ended. Immediately I noticed my arm was hurt and I could not believe someone had hit me. Within two hours I started having lower back pain. I couldn’t sleep, I was in constant pain, and I needed something to kill the pain. I ended up going through pain management and I was out of work for 4 to 6 weeks. I had no idea if I was going to go back to work. After contacting Rutter Mills, within one day I was in the office talking to the attorneys. At the beginning I didn’t know what was going to happen. Rutter Mills told me the way it was and always left the decision up to me. They are one of the top attorneys in the area, who will get the best they can for their clients. Overall I was very satisfied and I would highly recommend Rutter Mills."
REGINALD:
"I was riding my motorcycle coming through an intersection and the next thing I know a vehicle was making a left turn. When she hit me head on, I flew head on across the vehicle about 30 or 40 feet. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it happened. The doctors told me I was lucky to be here and it could have been worse. I was thinking man I am lucky to be here. I was out of work for five weeks, on crutches, on three or four different pain medications, and the bills were coming in. I was back and forth to the doctors, the copay’s were pilling up but I was blessed to have insurance. Rutter Mills took care of everything. They told me just to worry about getting better and any hospital bills to send to them. They really took care of everything. The settlement helped me a lot and I was able to put money aside. I would give Rutter Mills two thumbs up!"


"I wanted the best care for my injuries, so the people at the Union Hall suggested Rutter Mills. They knew what they were talking about! They took my phone calls right away, explained everything, took care of absolutely anything and everything I needed. They made me feel welcome and like they really cared about how I was doing. But it's not just that they're nice guys, even though that's a comfort when you're sick or hurt. They are also really experienced and really competent. They fought hard for me and got me a settlement that will take care of me for the rest of my life. That's important because I was real let down when the doctor told me I couldn't go back to work as a welder. That was my life's work; it's what I knew how to do. But Rutter Mills told me that they'd make everything OK, and they sure did. I have referred at least eight people to them… maybe more. And they have all come back real pleased and thanked me for it. Just like I'd like to thank Rutter Mills."

JOANN MATRUSKI:
Joann hurt her foot and ankle at work when a coworker accidentally ran into her. She developed back and hip problems as a consquence of the accident. Several years after her injuries, Joann still has pain in her foot and back that require ongoing care.
"I needed someone to help me get the kind of treatment that I needed, and when I went to Rutter Mills, they were able to do so. Don't feel like you are by yourself or you're alone. Go to Rutter Mills. They treat you like a person."

"The investigator came out. He talked with me. He was sensitive to my problem. He said 'You just sit back and let Rutter Mills do what they do.' Rutter Mills will always be a part of my family."

"We had never faced anything quite like this – never been in a significant accident before -- and we didn’t know where to begin. Fortunately, someone suggested we call Rutter Mills, and from that moment on, we felt completely confident. Every question was answered, every aspect of our case was handled fully. We were cared for – and cared about –throughout the whole process. It’s definitely representation we could count on."
