Your Attorney
Hector I. Rodriguez, Esq.
A proud Rutgers man through and through, Hector I. Rodriguez earned his undergraduate degree from Rutgers College in 1975 before going on to graduate from Rutgers School of Law. That foundation launched a career spanning more than 42 years of private practice in New Jersey.
Mr. Rodriguez has served as both a municipal court prosecutor and a municipal court judge, giving him a rare perspective that few attorneys possess. He understands how the other side thinks because he has stood on both sides of the courtroom.
His boutique practice model means you work directly with your attorney, not a paralegal. Every phone call is returned. Every detail is scrutinized. Every strategy is tailored to your unique situation.
From the courtrooms of Middlesex County to the appellate courts of New Jersey, Mr. Rodriguez brings the preparation, persistence, and skill that your case demands.
