Zachary D. Rutman is a tireless advocate for his clients, whether he's litigating for Fortune 500 companies in high-stakes personal injury cases or advising mom-and-pop businesses on compliance under California’s labor laws.
Leveraging his dogged research skills and persuasive writing, Zachary uses every means possible to secure the best outcomes possible for the firm's clientele.
Zachary specializes in defending businesses and individuals in complex, personal injury cases nationwide. These high-exposure, wrongful death and negligence lawsuits concern accidents with company-owned motor vehicles, commercial trucks, construction sites and residential care facilities. Oftentimes, he steps in during the last, pivotal phases of multimillion dollar cases as trial counsel for excess insurers.
He is also often retained to defend national and local youth-serving organizations facing sexual abuse claims. Zachary has had immense success extricating his clients from sexual abuse lawsuits with motions to dismiss the lawsuits on novel and creative theories, saving his clients millions of dollars.
A lifelong Californian, Zachary lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, daughter, and their two rescue pugs. During his downtime, he enjoys surfing, supporting dog rescues, playing golf, and traveling to lesser-known corners of the world.
