Welcome to Rutherford Law

At Rutherford Law, family matters—deeply. For most people, family is life’s greatest priority, and we’ve built our practice around protecting and honoring that truth.

As a husband-and-wife team practicing law since the early 1990s, Paul and Wende Rutherford bring both personal commitment and professional expertise to every case. Law runs deep in our family—Paul’s grandfather, father, brother, uncles, and cousins have all practiced here in Nashville—and that legacy inspires us to focus on what matters most: families like yours.

From divorce, custody, and adoption to probate, estate planning, and elder care, we provide guidance and advocacy through life’s most important transitions. Families come in many forms—some, like ours, are built through adoption; others need protection during divorce or support in planning for future generations. Whatever your situation, we are here to help.

At Rutherford Law, you are never just a case number. You and your family matter to us, and we are committed to offering responsive, client-focused representation backed by decades of experience.
