Keith Rutman | San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer

I am a criminal defense attorney in San Diego, California who focuses on drug crimes, domestic violence, weapons charges, theft, police misconduct, and more. Each case I take on is handled with integrity and resilience and strive to obtain the justice that you deserve. I am passionate about guiding people through the challenges that they face. I am the defense advocate who will tell you what you need to know. Unlike other lawyers, I do not make false promises that I cannot uphold. I am honest and do what is in my capabilities.

I received my Bachelors of Art in Political Science from Brandeis University in 1986. After undergrad, I graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1989 and have been licensed and practicing in the state of California ever since. I am a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, the American Bar Association, the San Diego County Bar Association, and more.
