Warner Partner Emily S. Rucker Honored by Grand Rapids Bar Association

Emily S. Rucker, a partner at Warner Norcross + Judd LLP, has been selected for a Grand Rapids Bar Association 3 in 10 Award.

The 3 in 10 Awards are presented to three attorneys each year who are in the first 10 years of practice and have demonstrated outstanding professional achievements, exceptional public service and significant contributions to the legal profession. Rucker will be honored this evening at the Grand Rapids Bar Association’s Annual Meeting.

She represents clients in the automotive, manufacturing and construction industries in a variety of disputes involving breach of contract, contract termination, construction lien and defect and delay issues.

Her public service includes successfully litigating a pro bono prisoner’s rights case for a man who required a soft-foods diet due to severe dental issues and procuring a favorable settlement for a pro bono bankruptcy debtor.”
