I would like to take a moment to share how Larry Ruder superseded our expectations as our attorney. He is absolutely amazing, hard-working and 100% dedicated to his clients. My mother and niece were involved in a high speed police pursuit, which led to a tragic accident. Due to the accident, my 13 year old niece lost her life, and my mother suffered numerous serious injuries. We met Larry through a friend of the family, and he immediately took time out of his day to personally come and visit us in the intensive care unit. When he first visited us, he never mentioned that he was taking on our case, which is uncommon because most attorneys lead with that. On the other hand, he was very compassionate and offered his condolences for our loss. He is such a kind-hearted individual who truly cares for his clients and their families. Even though we were in the middle of a chaotic point in our lives, he provided us with a sense of calm whenever he accompanied us, and acted as if he were part of our family. Throughout the process, he kept us informed and updated us regularly, he always picked up his phone each time we called, and he responded to our messages in a timely fashion. Larry worked countless hours to ensure our family obtained some form of justice; although, what we truly wanted was for this tragedy to have never occurred. We cannot thank him enough from the bottom of all of our hearts for his dedication and hard work, enduring sleepless nights, fighting for our family, and for simply just being here for us in our time of need.

I was run over by a CTA bus 6 years ago and Larry found out about my accident through my mom desperately trying to fly from Atlanta trying to get to me and it just so happened that someone in Larry’s family was trying to also get to Chicago. As soon as he found out he came to my bedside at the hospital (before my family could even make it). I’ll never forget he asked my friends who were there to step out of the room so he could talk to me. I don’t remember what he said but it was the first time I got rid of my brave face and I broke down and cried in his arms. Fast forward a few months once all the bones healed, I still felt so much pain. I was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome (also known as RSD). My life was changed I have a lifelong battle ahead of me. Larry, was there through it all. He guided me and my family when we had no idea what to do. I can easily say my case tore me apart, but Larry will not only just be my lawyer who got my case settled but forever my friend.
