My long-standing commitment to advocacy is grounded in extensive experience protecting the vulnerable. I began by supporting at-risk youth, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals facing substance abuse. My professional journey includes serving as a Victims of Crime Act attorney and progressing into public service as an Assistant District Attorney in Carter County. Furthermore, I spent eighteen months as the only Public Defender for the Chickasaw Nation in Ardmore. Having mastered both sides of the courtroom, I possess a deep understanding of the high stakes involved for my clients. I leverage this diverse background to provide relentless, strategic representation for your rights.
My legal passion comes from standing up for people in hard moments. Every challenge I’ve faced and every path I’ve walked has been preparation for the battles I fight for you today. Focusing on criminal defense and domestic/family law is not just a career choice—it is a commitment to protect your future. I combine tactical grit with genuine empathy to give you a powerful ally in your corner.
Rudd's law NO.1
We listen and we don't judge.
Life happens. Whether you made a questionable choice at 2 AM or your marriage is a dumpster fire, I’m here. I’ve had clients I once prosecuted who didn’t punch my lights out when they saw I was their court appointed attorney because they knew I played fair. My resting face might look like I’m planning a heist, but it’s just how I protect my people. I don’t judge your mess; I just clean it up.
