After 6 years of owning our bar, my wife and I genuinely believed that we had turned a corner. Heck, we thought we had made it! We had to recalibrate after Covid, but we picked right up where we were before March of 2019. Smiles all around!
Then – just as we were getting into a solid and safe routine – a fellow tenant right above us brought in our landlord to complain about cigar smoke leaking into their suite. The landlord was swift and destructive. Doors locked and a permanent (potentially) do not trespass. Any attempt to gain understanding with the landlord, and their legal team, was met with a complete lack of compassion of any kind.
We needed a lawyer. Robert Rutila has joined the chat! Robert proved – from moment one – to be the perfect attorney for us. Perfect parts lawyer, psychologist and friend…he handled us (me) perfectly! The emotion that the very entity that should be looking to serve their tenant was actually looking to shut a business down was terribly unsettling.
Robert treated this case as if it were his business. Even while conducting another trial, the communication with Robert was exceedingly excellent. Wildly skilled, we always felt taken care of. This had a lot of texture and subtleness. Robert made sure that we were more prepared than the other side. It went from a permanent shutdown to back in business in a week.
We sold 2 years later and 2 things remain forever…
That landlord is everything wrong with conducting proper business.
Our attorney, Robert Rutila, is the ONLY reason that we got to reopen.
Robert is a fantastic legal mind, but he is an even better person. Consider yourself blessed if you get into a legal entanglement because Mr. Rutila is your secret weapon! We wholeheartedly recommend Rob Rutila.
