Defender of families
Gregg is a staunch advocate for the real potential casualties of divorce; the children. When you have a challenging spouse who wants to rupture the thread of the nuclear family, Gregg will fight tirelessly to protect your interests and theirs. I now have sole custody of my children due to the strength and competence of Mr. Rubenstein and Samantha Latif. I will recommend these attorneys without hesitation. Don’t hire beagles when you need mastiffs. Sincerely, Melissa Bentley M.A. retired teacher

Outstanding service and outcome
I waited for months on writing this review in order to find the words that would do this office justice. I will start by saying that your office exceeded my already high expectations, performance-wise and outcome-wise. You have delivered exceptional results, and I am still amazed with them every day. After interviewing 9 attorneys over 12 months, I went to see Gregg who straightforwardly explained the process and stressed on the fact that my children’s best interest is of more importance to him than all other parties involved. He earned my trust from the beginning. Throughout the process that lasted 11 months, Gregg and Samantha have been attentive to every detail, focused and proactive in every move and extremely diligent. Gregg tried to minimize my expenses in every way possible, worried about my budget more than I myself did, a behavior I have not encountered with any other law firm. Throughout the conflict, Gregg tried to absorb the ups and downs so I can maintain my calm. He used admirable wisdom when making quick decisions, while keeping the balance on when and how to act quickly and when to hold back and use reason. Repeatedly have I been told by legal representatives including court panelists, mediators and other attorneys that I was in great hands. I have not dealt with a more ethical and conscientious firm that maintained this exceptional level of morality and human decency at a very emotional and challenging time in my life. I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are in need of a family law attorney, go to Gregg with your eyes closed.

Outstanding attorney
Gregg was representing me in a divorce case that involved a very difficult husband, many obstacles along the way, three children, sale of the home, and court closed due to pandemic. From the first meeting he truly showed care and interest, not just for me but for everyone involved. The empathy that was present throughout the process made this whole experience less gruesome. Gregg was also on point with his legal advice, always reachable and very straightforward. He will let you know if he thinks you are taking an unreasonable position and that truly saves time in this process. You want to have an attorney that will not waste your time and money feeding into your emotionally charged requests. You want an attorney that knows what he is doing, can avoid the pitfalls of the system, can be trusted and represent you fiercely. Being in a divorce, no matter what reason, puts you in a very vulnerable position. Thankfully Gregg was there for me and if you are finding yourself in the same position there is no doubt in my mind that Gregg is the best choice.

Finally!
I wish I had this man for my divorce attorney! I found him through a recommendation from a friend and hired him for some post divorce issues involving child support. He made the process easy and helped me accomplish what was the best for my children. He was able to do this and keep me calm at the same time. Gregg is very organized and focused on his clients and their needs. He made me understand which were the important points to focus on and the ones that were unnecessary. This made for a very streamlined way of approaching the case. If there are future issues, I will be back for his assistance. Finally, an attorney I can trust to put my best interests first!

Divorce Attorney
Gregg Rubenstein was a beacon of hope to me throughout my entire divorce process. He was there for me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed completely impossible. Not only was Gregg able to successfully defend me, but his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support during a time when various challenges were presented. I am eternally grateful for Gregg Rubenstein’s service and would recommend him to everyone I know!

Amazing Lawyer
Gregg is the lawyer you want representing you. Gregg is extremely easy to talk to and he genuinely cares about his clients and their cases. Gregg's knowledge of the law is second to none and it shows in his legal documents and during proceedings in court. Gregg will walk you step-by-step through the legal process and tell you what to expect along the way. I can honestly say Gregg outmaneuvered my ex's lawyer every step of the way. Trust what everyone is saying about Gregg, he is simply the best lawyer around. I can not recommend Gregg highly enough.

Highly experienced and knowledgeable
I have been working with Gregg and his colleagues for over 2 years in a highly contested divorce. What could have been a devastating outcome, due to ex having a dirty and dishonest lawyer whose favorite hobby was to send bullying letters, turned out to be fair and equitable. I have consulted with over 5 lawyers prior and during my divorce, because honestly, I have trust issues with lawyers. That was a complete waste of my time as Gregg has been the best choice all along. Gregg was recommended to me by a co-worker and I am so grateful. My doubts and worries were needless, as Gregg knew what battles to fight, explained to me the consequences of what to and what not to fight for, was always honest and never promised me an unrealistic outcome. He cared for me, my daughters and our feelings when my ex would continually drag them into issues, in which it was more important for the ex to 'win' than to be sure loved ones feelings and well beings were put first. The ex has been irrational and reckless, using loved ones as pawns and not caring about how much money was spent while dragging out topics. However, all the while Gregg kept my fees at a minimum and even got me awarded legal fees (which is very difficult to do). If you're going through a divorce, do yourself and everyone around you a favor, lose the anger and revenge outlook. Utilizing a divorce to try to seek 'revenge' (whether warranted or not) will hurt all extended and immediate family relationships, especially the children. It will needlessly hurt financially when many of the items you are fighting for are somewhat predetermined. I also was lucky enough to be able to have Gregg's associate, Samantha Latif, working on my case. She shares much of Gregg's ideas in giving you expertise legal advice while saving you money. They are a great pair as they bounce information off of each other and share their knowledge and experience. They are always in contact with you when needed, without wasting anyone's time and money. I also have to give a shout out to Amy who works for both Gregg and Samantha. Her communication and knowledge mirrors Gregg and Sam's professionalism. They are all around great people. No one ever truly wins in a divorce. Everyone loses, even family. If you go in with the outlook to get it done to stop the suffering, while obtaining respect for each other as an individual, you'll have the right outlook and lessen everyone's suffering while saving money.

Fantastic Attorney - highly recommend
I am so glad that I hired Gregg to be my attorney when going through my divorce. He was easily reachable by both phone and email whenever I needed to speak with him. He was prompt in his response time and attentive to my case. He was able to map out the process for me and followed through on his every word. He made the process as seamless and stress-free as it could be, and for that I am very thankful.

All the reviews are true
If you want to know what Gregg is like pls read the reviews. They're all true. It would be a disservice to try to sum it up in a few sentences. He gets it, doesn't waste time or mince words, and knows how to get quick results with the opposing attorneys, the courts and the process.

Great and Smart Lawyer!
Gregg was extremely understanding and very easy to work with. I had two cases back to back and he handled them with ease. When cases have to do with your children, it is the most awful position to be in. His experience with family law helped me get the exact outcomes I was hoping for. He is down to earth and extremely empathetic. If you are looking for a lawyer to deal with divorce or custody, Gregg should be your choice.

Gregg Rubenstein
One of the best thinks to have happened to me while looking for a divorce attorney was to have found Gregg Rubenstein. He was recommended to me by someone I trust. He was very sensitive with my issues, he kept me informed with everything and educated me in the processes. I never had a question that I didn't get a straight answer. Whenever I met with him I felt as I was meeting with a friend. He delivered everything as promised including the cost that I felt was very reasonable and on budget. I recommend Gregg highly just as others had recommended him to me. He's smart, compassionate and delivers. Thank you Gregg.

Professionally Focused, Transparent & Strong
Gregg could not have served my separation better. He clearly explained the process and costing. Transparently guided my best interests. His professionally strength is clearly witnessed by the respect received when in court. Gregg was focused to complete as agreed. Truly made a less than optimal period of my life much better knowing I was represented honorably.

Wonderful Lawyer!!
I met with Gregg several times during my process of divorce, and we were always in contact on a weekly basis. He always reached out to me which always showed me he is genuinely concerned. He is very professional and personable and helped me every step of the way. Gregg will always inform you of what needs to be done and give his honest advice to protect you. I would highly recommend him as your lawyer. Thanks Gregg!

Gregg Rubenstein is a very professionally attorney who is direct and tells you what you need to know and not what you want to hear. He is efficient, understanding and always provided a quick response. He walked me through every step of my divorce process and listened intently to my questions and concerns. Although divorces can be stressful and chaotic, you would be in great hands by working with Gregg and his staff.

A highly skilled lawyer who does his best to minimize cost and truly cares. 
I went through an extremely contentious divorce with a vindictive ex-wife who went out of her way to make every aspect difficult.  This was an incredibly difficult process both emotionally and financially.  Having a skilled attorney who cares made all the difference in getting through it. Gregg did an amazing job of explaining the process,  isolating the issues at hand, and negotiating a fair settlement while keeping costs at a minimum.  Gregg is a straight shooter.  He is an incredibly smart lawyer and he actually cares.  He did an excellent job of managing the other side which avoided protracted proceedings and also had a strong attention for detail for my best interests regarding some of the more complicated aspects of the settlement.  I would highly recommend Gregg to anyone and feel lucky to have him as my attorney.

I felt safe and supported throughout the entire process
Gregg is a straight shooter, compassionate and a skilled negotiator. He was my second attorney in a modification of child support/alimony and was able to defuse the tension of combative egos on the opposing side. There were no surprises because he always communicated in a timely manner and told me what to expect. His professionalism is bar none. The icing on the cake is that he is cost conscious! That's because he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares about his clients. His staff is exceptional as well.

Attorney with a heart and conscience!
Going through a divorce is never easy and the process and can be very trying, both financially and emotionally. For this reason, it is imperative to have a good attorney. Two years ago when I decided to end my marriage of 40+ years I interviewed several attorneys to find the best representation. I decided to retain Gregg Rubenstein and I was not disappointed. I found him to be extremely competent. He was experienced and very knowledgeable about divorce law and was always able to answer my questions with easy to understand explanations. More importantly, I found him to be kind and compassionate. His confidence and reassurance that things would work out well for me helped to make the grueling process less stressful. Additionally, he was mindful of my financial situation and found ways to keep legal costs affordable. There is no doubt in my mind that his priorities are always to act in the best interest of his clients and therefore I would recommend him without reservation.
