OUR PRACTICE: At Ruddell, Stanton, Bixler, Mauritson & Evans LLP, we meet the legal needs of individuals, families, businesses, farmers, real estate developers, public entities and others throughout the San Joaquin Valley. At more than 100 years, our firm is the oldest continuously practicing law firm in Tulare County. The firm is dedicated to providing professional and effective legal services in the following areas: business and commercial law; real estate law and development; estate planning; trust administration and probate; trust and estate litigation; civil litigation; water law; and family law and adoption. With the significant changes in the community during the last 125 years, we have made every effort to adapt to the changing legal needs of the community. Although we handle traditional legal matters affecting businesses and individuals, we particularly enjoy being involved in new and innovative businesses, developments, and issues having far-reaching future implications. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: The firm has a long history of supporting the local community and staying involved in various community and charitable projects. Community and family are extremely important to all of us here at the firm. We take pride in remaining one of the premier law firms in the valley and we will continue to stay involved and give back to our local and valley community. Some of the organizations and causes we have supported include: Pro-Youth; COS Foundation; United Cerebral Palsy; Harlan Hunter Productions; Family Services; Visalia Emergency Aid; Mock Trial Competitions; Tulare County Bar Association; Tulare County Executive Council; Kaweah Delta Hospital Foundation; Sequoia Paralegal Association; Visalia YMCA; Boy Scouts of America; Arts Visalia; Tulare County Symphony; Visalia Rotary Club; County Center Rotary Club; Visalia Breakfast Rotary Club; Able Industries; Tulare County Hospice; Foodlink; and Fresno Pacific University.
