Careers at Rutkowski Law Firm
About Us
We are a fast-growing, client-focused estate planning and elder law firm serving families across Michigan. Our mission is to give families peace of mind by making complex legal planning clear, personal, and actionable.
We combine top-tier legal expertise with a Disney-level client experience: warm, approachable, and always centered on what is best for the client.
Fast-growing. Values-driven. Client-obsessed.
At Rutkowski Law Firm, we believe in building something bigger than ourselves. Every team member plays a vital role in helping Michigan families protect what matters most.
What We Stand For
Our Core Values
We run on EOS and are guided by clear values that shape how we serve clients and support each other.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
We believe no plan is a "set of papers" created in a vacuum. We win because we collaborate across departments to ensure the Asset Shield is fortified. Whether you are an attorney or a client success coordinator, we move as one team to move money into accounts and close the gaps that other firms ignore.
Dynamic Chameleon with a Growth Mindset
The legal landscape in 2026 moves fast, and our team moves faster. We expect our team to adapt to new search tools and changing 2026 Michigan numbers, like the $12,216 penalty limit. We do not stay stagnant; we evolve to stay ten steps ahead of the law and the competition.
Owner Mentality
We do not give "homework assignments," not to our clients and not to each other. Having an owner mentality means taking responsibility for the Done-For-You promise. We finish the job at the bank so our families do not have to, and we expect our team to bring that same level of completion to every internal task.
Family-Focused
We are Michigan protectors. We understand that behind every trust is a family worried about nursing home costs or probate delays in Oakland, Wayne, or Washtenaw counties. We plan because we care deeply about the people who carry the legacy.
The Disney Experience
We provide a premium, white-glove service that feels effortless for the client. From the click-the-blue-button simplicity of our virtual meetings to our meticulous attention to detail, we aim to make legal planning feel like a world-class experience rather than a transactional chore.
Don't Act Like an Attorney
We lead with Professional Simplicity. We cut through the fluff and eliminate the jargon. We speak with the Candor of Protection, offering calm, expert leadership without the ego or the "lawyer talk" that confuses the families who need us most.
Our Culture
What Makes Us Different
We do not operate like most law firms. EOS brings clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement into every part of how we work. Everyone knows their role, what success looks like, and how they contribute to the bigger picture.
We are intentional about culture, client experience, and growth and we expect every team member to take ownership in all three.
