Protecting What Matters Most in Rutherford County, NC
Our Rutherfordton firm is dedicated to providing reliable, client-focused legal services in Rutherford County and neighboring counties.
When you're buying a home in Forest City, settling a family member's estate in Spindale, or planning what you'll leave behind for your children, you need an attorney who knows Rutherford County, not someone staffing a remote office from Asheville or Charlotte.
At Arledge Law Firm, we focus on the two main areas of law in Western North Carolina: real estate transactions and estate planning.

Estate Planning and Wills
Estate planning, goals and objectives, will vary from client to client. Attorney Kent Baldwin and his team will work with you to ensure your final wishes will be effectively and properly adhered.

Marital Agreements
Proactively protect your assets and establish financial clarity with a thoughtfully drafted prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.
