Excpetional attorney , goes above and beyond to accommodate his clients , his hard work ethic , passionate spirit , and appetite for justice separates him from the rest other attorneys. Highly recommend.

Mr. Rutherford has always been very professional and very knowledgeable. He takes time to get to know his clients and learn every detail of their situation. Clients can rest assured that Mr. Rutherford is very honest, trustworthy, and attentive. I absolutely recommend him.

Worked hard with my best interest in mind, Highly recommend!!

Great attorney without a doubt!

James Rutherford is a phenomenal attorney. He really works for the people. I know this because he personally would call me himself to provide details on my case. He managed to get my case dismissed. He understood my legal situation and managed to have it resolved. His retainer fee was not bad either, and he worked with me and accepted payments. Great guy and a heck of a lawyer.

Easily the best lawyer you can get in New Hanover County. He knows what he's doing and he was able to get my case resolved with a better result than I could have ever dreamt of. Very easy to deal with- seemed more of a friend than a lawyer. Anytime I hear of someone needing a lawyer, I recommend them to him. 10/10 highly recommend.

Coolest lawyer on the planet and really good at what he does

Absolute genius criminal defense lawyer! I was very lucky to hire him to represent me. He was able to get my charges all reduced or dropped completely. If your needing someone to represent your rights in New hanover, Brunswick, Pender, or surrounding counties, then James Rutherford is the best! When it comes to your case, choosing the right lawyer is detrimental to getting the best outcome. So don't risk it, hire James Rutherford ASAP!

Mr.Rutherford is amazing. He treats every case like you are the only one who matters. Mr.Rutherford is a master at his craft. He seeks Justice for all, and that's hard to find.

Mr. Rutherford is a fantastic attorney, he truly what's what's best for you.... I've never called any attorney after I saw how dedicated to heloing his clients issues result in the very best outcome possible. Okay great. Amazing attorney.

He took on my case ProBono. I had no money. I was homeless.
He took my case, and defended me until the D.A. dropped the charges! He has been a blessing!

Mr. Rutherford handled a speeding ticket for my niece and did a fantastic job. Melissa his paralegal kept us updated throughout the entire process and the end result was just what we were looking for. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an attorney.

Hands down best attorney in Wilmington

I came across Mr. Rutherford from doing an online search. I didn’t know what to expect because I interacted with other lawyers before I came across him and the ones I found were only out there for one thing...money. I understand it’s a business but if that’s the first thing that comes out of one’s mouth when a client contacts you, the trust factor is tarnished. Mr. Rutherford was very personable and professional. He was very respectful and even made great connections with me by relating my kids to his own. On top of it all he didn’t charge me an arm and a leg like some of the other lawyers who I spoke to prior. He did a great job with my case and even got it dismissed on the first court date. Thank you. I would recommend Mr. Rutherford to anyone.

Compassion is the foundation for great people skills - Mr. Rutherford truly cares. His dynamic personality and professional demeanor combine to make this attorney ... SIMPLY THE BEST! Anna Burgess

My husband and I had a superior experience while working with Mr. Rutherford. He is very knowledgeable of the law and guided us through each step of our proceedings with a steady hand.
Not only do I highly recommend him to others, I would without hesitation, seek his services in the future.

Mr. Rutherford has represented me twice now and I can't say enough great things about him and his staff. Although I've been the plaintiff each time with I've heard his skills as a defense attorney are also undeniably amazing. His secretary/paralegal is very helpful, kind and caring which is not always the case when dealing with others in similar professions. This team has made sure my family and I felt comfortable and were educated about our options each time so we knew exactly what to expect. Regardless of the outcome with my pending domestic case I feel that he and Melissa are caring professionals that want the best for me and they aren't driven by making a profit off misfortune. I've never reviewed an individual online but had to in this case because anyone looking for quality representation in New Hanover or Brunswick counties doesn't need to look any further. Best of Luck to All Searching for an Attorney, Cheers!!!!

Very friendly and helpful!

He is extremely knowledgeable and takes whatever time is needed to help answer questions and such. If you need a competent attorney, Mr Rutherford is who you need to call.

Mr. Rutherford handled my case completely, without my presence. I reside out of state, 1000 miles away, and couldn't have accomplished anything better than what he has. His great knowledge and expertise is above reproach. Friendly and attentive, and if I ever need anything legally in New Hanover Co. I will be retaining his services!

Mr. Rutherford is fantastic! He is prompt, professional and looks out for the best interest of his clients! Highly recommended && very much appreciate his hard work!! Thanks again!!

My husband and I had a great experience with Mr. Rutherford as our attorney. At our initial consultation he was realistic and honest about the parameters regarding our case. Moving forward he prepared us both for the proceedings and made the experience as stress free as possible. We are very happy with the results from our case and would highly recommend Mr. Rutherford.
