A second-generation lawyer, Brother Rutter made a name for himself taking on insurance companies for large corporations on behalf of injured workers. Just three years out of law school, he made his mark with the firm’s first 7-figure settlement. That’s a record he broke again and again, winning multiple multi-million-dollar verdicts in several states, including the, at-the-time, largest Wrongful Death verdict in Virginia history in 2002.

His business model integrates the core values of integrity, reputation, and accountability, and underscores the importance of kindness and self-agency both personally and professionally. Rutter Mills stands apart from many traditional firms by operating with a client-first approach, empowering attorneys to make the best decisions for their clients’ outcomes, rather than being constrained by the needs of the business. Brother Rutter built a team of innovators, creating a culture that drives both growth and employee satisfaction through empowerment and generosity.
