Arnold H. Rutkin started the law firm in 1982 to assist high asset/income families in difficult times, providing them with the highest level of service by limiting the number of cases taken by the firm. Our firm has been guided by this vision since its inception. In 1994, Sarah S. Oldham joined Attorney Rutkin, and in 1996 became a partner in Rutkin & Oldham, L.L.C.
