About this firm

Trial Lawyers in Worcester dedicated to Criminal Law, Family Law and Civil Litigation matters.

At Murphy & Rudolf, LLP to Rudolf, Smith, Griffis & Ruggieri, LLP (DBA Rudolf Smith), we take the rights and interests of our clients very seriously. We understand that you are most likely facing a life-changing event – and it can become increasingly frightening if you are unaware of your rights or legal options. Our firm believes that most trials and negotiations can be won or lost based on the quality of a lawyer’s case preparation. We are fully prepared to expose weaknesses in the other side’s strategy and position in order to help you secure a positive outcome. Put the collective power of seasoned trial lawyers on your side of the aisle.

If you, a loved one or your business is threatened by a criminal charge or investigation, it is imperative that the lawyer representing the accused has the expertise to navigate the potential pitfalls of the justice system and defend your rights. The accused has an opportunity between the arrest and the filing of formal charges. That is why it is imperative that the accused involve us early on. It can make a Big Difference. If we are given the opportunity to defend you before formal charges are filed, we may have the opportunity to impact the prosecuting attorney’s office on their filing decision, and in some cases, avoid a long-term criminal record. You can also count on us to thoroughly investigate the evidence against you, perform in-depth legal research, and prepare legally significant motions. By thoroughly preparing every aspect of your case, we can build a strong defense that exposes any sort of weakness in the prosecution’s case. We are always prepared to go to trial and fight for the best possible outcome for you.

At Rudolf Smith, our attorneys bring over 70 years of combined experience to men and women throughout Worcester and surrounding counties who have divorce or family law concerns. We know living in a divided household can be emotional, tiring and financially challenging. Attorneys at Rudolf Smith understand how difficult it can be to make important decisions about finances and parenting children when you and your partner are not at their best. Our Worcester family law attorneys work with our clients to help find solutions that best serve the interests of you and your family.
