Michelle Ellsworth Ruderow

Attorney

Michelle Ellsworth Rudderow founded Rudderow Law in 2020 after nearly two decades of exclusively representing plaintiffs in civil actions. Her practice remains focused on and dedicated to representing individuals and families who have been seriously injured or whose lives have been cut short by prescription drugs, medical devices, defective products, medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and other personal injury or wrongful death matters.

Michelle works hard to be the calm in the chaos for her clients. No one should face difficult moments alone. She stands beside her clients with strength, clarity, and determination. She brings that commitment to every client she represents. With more than two decades of experience, Michelle approaches every case with determination, strategic insight, and attention to detail. She believes that successful outcomes occur with preparation, collaboration, and clear communication. Her clients are kept informed throughout the process and receive candid, practical, and honest guidance at every stage.

Michelle is a lifelong member of the Syracuse community where she and her husband, Chris, have chosen to raise their family.
