Mike Ruttinger’s Expertise Mike Ruttinger brings an extremely high level of skill and expertise to class action and complex litigation matters. He is especially well-known for his ability to successfully litigate matters featuring unique fact issues or novel questions of law. Mike’s experience covers a broad spectrum of practice areas. He has, for example: -Obtained summary judgments and denials of class certification in cases filed against hospital systems; -Successfully defended class action and constitutional claims brought against public utilities, pension systems, and other state agencies; -Advanced the law by procuring preemption and jurisdictional decisions supporting the position of drug and medical device manufacturers; -Secured class certification denials and dismissals against consumer product manufacturers in cases involving warranty and false advertising claims; and Preserved key evidentiary rulings and legal errors for appeal as clients’ appellate monitoring counsel at trial. Mike has a nationwide class action practice in these areas and beyond. He advocates for clients in cases where novel legal issues and questions of first impression are entangled with complicated factual disputes, such as cases involving extensive scientific or regulatory records. There, he draws on experience gained during his federal appellate clerkship and years of federal practice to streamline the complex into clear, concise advocacy. This often helps minimize costly discovery and narrow the case. Mike joined Tucker Ellis in 2009 after having served as a law clerk for the Honorable Deborah L. Cook of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. He earned his law degree from the University of Michigan Law School, where he graduated magna cum laude and as a member of the Order of the Coif. He is a regular speaker on topics involving class action procedure and has earned recognition for his publications on cutting-edge legal developments. Mike currently served as Chair of DRI's Specialized Litigation Group for class actions. Originally from Kentucky, Mike and his family are now rooted in Cleveland. Mike is a veteran endurance athlete, having completed more than a dozen marathons and three Ironman triathlons. Mike believes that if you can face the closing miles of an Ironman with a smile and sense of humor, there is nothing litigation can throw at you that you can’t handle.
