About Douglas J. Rudman

I am a licensed Florida attorney and an LL.M. graduate of Temple University's top ranked Trial Advocacy Program. This academic training, coupled with my hands-on legal experience, has afforded me a strong foundation in litigation and trial practice. I am a former prosecutor dedicated to zealous and aggressive representation in Traffic, DUI, Misdemeanor and Felony Criminal Defense cases.In 2005, I was appointed as a prosecutor with the Office of the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Florida. During my time with the State Attorney's Office, I sat first chair in over one hundred criminal cases that went to trial; most of which were argued before a jury.I was first assigned to the Misdemeanor County Court Division where I prosecuted misdemeanor criminal law violations, including but not limited to, Traffic Crimes, Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Reckless Driving and Assault/Battery.In 2007, I was appointed to the Felony Division prosecuting law violations such as, but not limited to, Burglary, Drug Crimes, Aggravated Assault/Battery, Financial Crimes and Fleeing & Eluding Police. I was assigned to the Felony Family Violence Unit in 2009.My responsibilities included evaluating and rendering filing decisions on felony domestic violence arrests made in Palm Beach County. I retained and prosecuted the most serious of those offenses, including but not limited to, Attempted First Degree Murder, Attempted Second Degree Murder with a Firearm, Sexual Battery, Aggravated Battery with a Firearm and Aggravated Assault/Battery.In private practice, I have dedicated myself towards pursuing justice those who are accused of committing crimes. I advocate for, and strive to find, sentencing alternatives to jail or prison for those who are suffering from drug, alcohol and/or dual diagnosis disorders. I have addressed numerous schools, community groups and programs in order to educate both young adults and adults about the criminal justice system, domestic violence and the penalties associated with drug and alcohol related crimes.It is my experience as a prosecutor that makes me a zealous defense attorney and I am proud of my years serving the citizens of Palm Beach County. I will be just as proud to serve you, my client, with the same zeal and aggressiveness.Honors and AwardsSuperLawyers - 2013 List of Rising Stars (Florida)The National Trial Lawyers - Top 100 Trial Lawyers (Florida)The National Trial Lawyers - Top 40 Trial Lawyers under 40 (Florida)National Advocacy for DUI Defense - Top 100 DUI Lawyers (Florida)Pro Bono ActivitiesPalm Beach County Youth Court Diversion Program - Volunteer Judge, 2005 - PresentLanguagesEnglish (Primary)SpanishPortuguese

Hired Attorney

I have trusted Doug with all my legal matters since I moved to Florida. He came as a recommendation through a friend and I couldn't be happier! He is honest and professional, I always felt safe with him. He always communicated any progress or updates with my cases and never hesitated to explain things further.

Hired Attorney

I recently needed to make an appointment with the Rudman Law Group regarding a legal issue that had gone sideways. I knew immediately during the consultation that I would be retaining them. I assumed that I was hiring a high-quality criminal defense attorney, but I could not have anticipated hiring a lawyer as determined as Douglas Rudman. He was always available (weekends and evenings), never beat around the bush, was straightforward, and always treated me with respect. Without getting into detail about my legal situation, I can say the outcome of my case was not only better than I hoped but only the result of having Douglas Rudman as my lawyer. Upon our first meeting, I was struck by his calm and understated confidence. He was attentive as I explained my situation and demonstrated his breadth of knowledge as he began to construct a strategy for my case. Everything Doug and his team did was thought-out giving me the trust and feel they were working for me and my best interest.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Rudman is by far the most phenomenal attorney I have ever retained. I have hired several attorneys in the past, mostly for other people, but personally, he is hands down the most competent and also most caring lawyer in the state of FL, NY, and VA. I have a plethora of attorneys in my family but they all recommended him, which speaks volumes. Mr. Rudman is a rockstar and will absolutely help you! He truly helped me turn my life around and I am forever grateful to him. He founded a domestic violence center and helped me leave a DV relationship. If you need legal representation The Rudman Group doesn’t disappoint and if you value your life don’t shop around for the $5k low quality lawyers...retain Mr.Rudman. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
