Fred Ruotolo

Associate attorney Fred Ruotolo is a Certified Family Law Specialist who has been practicing law in Arizona for decades. He joined our legal team in 2017 and works from the firm’s Phoenix office location. Having moved to Arizona as a teenager with his family from Long Island, New York, he’s been living and working in the Valley ever since. Fred earned his bachelor’s degree from ASU in general business administration (1988). He started as an accounting major, but was so fascinated with his first business law class that he decided to become a lawyer and dedicate himself to guiding people through challenging situations. He obtained his juris doctorate from the University of Tulsa College of Law (1992) and, shortly thereafter, joined the State Bar of Arizona and Maricopa Bar Association. Fred teaches and shares his knowledge and experience of family law as a mentor with the Arizona bar association and other mentor programs. He presents legal education seminars to other lawyers and is an attorney volunteer for Community Legal Services, Fresh Start, Paiute Neighborhood Center, and others. “10 Best” Attorney by American Institute of Family Law Attorneys (2017-2022) Top 100 Lawyers by American Society of Legal Advocates (2018-2021) Family Law Top 10 Award by Attorney and Practice Magazine (2018) Arizona Certified Family Law Specialist (2015 – Present) “Top 10” Attorney by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys (2019-2021) Rate 10-of-10 by Avvo, Inc.
