After practicing law for three decades, Marty Rutberg founded Rutberg Personal Injury Law in 1999. Started in Poughkeepsie, the firm was quickly recognized as an established and well-respected member of the legal and business communities. In 2014, the firm's talented senior associate, Larry Breslow, joined Marty in ownership and leadership as the firm came to be known as Rutberg Breslow Personal Injury Law. Although the firm has expanded into other parts of New York, with offices in Monticello, Utica, Middletown and Albany, our dedication to personal injury law has not changed. With more than 100 years combined experience as skilled personal injury lawyers, the sole purpose of our attorneys is helping injured people and their families throughout the state of New York. Our firm looks for more in an attorney than technical ability and integrity. Those are common currency of the legal profession. To be an attorney at Rutberg Breslow Injury Law, something exceptional is required. The very nature of our practice dictates the distinguishing characteristics necessary for excellence in our work: We represent people in the aftermath of serious injury and death; Our attorneys must have compassion, patience and fortitude. Tragedy knows no schedule; Our attorneys must live their lives ready to respond at any time; We prove our cases through the records and testimony of physicians, nurses and rehabilitation therapists; Our attorneys must be able to understand medicine in addition to the law. Personal injury law is adversarial; Our attorneys must be competitive, centered and diplomatic. We only stand on the side of victims of negligence — we practice no other area of law besides personal injury. Personal injury is what we do. We value truth and integrity, especially when it comes to helping you and your family recover financially from a life-changing event that’s been caused by someone else’s carelessness.
