About Jody Rudman

I am a passionate advocate for healthcare clients who face enforcement and compliance issues. In and out of the courtroom, I defend strategically, aggressively, and with care. I have over 20 years experience as a litigator. I represent clients in all phases of litigation: investigations, negotiations, mediations, pretrial matters, grand jury proceedings, civil lawsuits, criminal indictments, jury trials, sentencings and appeals. I have tried dozens of jury and bench trials in the federal and state system, argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior to joining Husch Blackwell, I was in private practice for most of my career, served as a federal prosecutor for the Northern District of Texas and was appointed by the Texas Attorney General to handle high-profile charitable trust and healthcare litigation matters for the State of Texas.
