Dollar Dollar Bill

I consulted with Derrick on a simple real estate transaction. His fee structure was flat out inflated and he gave me incorrect information on the consult. He wouldn't negotiate his rates down even by a little. I went down the street to a more competent attorney. I spoke to my broker and they have h...ad some run-ins with Derrick before which weren't so pleasant. They called him a "petulant child" when things don't go right.

Outstanding

Mr. Rubin has excellent knowledge of law but far more importantly - understands exactly how judges think. Prepared me well and I prevailed in a difficult case. He set my strategy perfectly and combed through every detail meticulously. Hire him.

Awesome Real Estate Attorney

Derrick was on top of everything I needed to know about the selling of our property and the buying of our property. HE gave info that I thought was not relavent to the purchase of the house that he said it is my decision to investigate. So far I have used him for 3 properties and would highly recomme...nd him to anyone buying or selling property to be in great hands with his knowledge and his everyday (if needed) communication regarding anything. Thank you Mr. Rubin and look forward to using you in other aspects of law.

Mr. Derrick Rubin

Mr. Derrick Rubin has my utmost respect as an attorney whom not only is vastly knowledgeable and experienced in his fields of expertise, but more importantly, an honest and upstanding person whom really cares. I have never felt like just a case number throughout the four long and heart-wrenching yea...rs during my divorce litigation. It was a rather complicated case which spanning from Cairo, Egypt to Austin, Texas and finally ended here in New York. I would not have made it here today without Mr. Rubin’s help. As someone who was being forced out of a 13-year marriage with two young daughters, it was imperative for me to find a seasoned and trust worthy legal counsel to protect our legal rights from the divorce, and Mr. Rubin is that person. I truly consider a blessing to have Mr. Rubin as our guardian angel, to lead us through all the complicated legal proceedings. Contrary to Egyptian or Texas divorce law, New York divorce law actually tries to protect women and children’s legal rights in a divorce to a greater degree. Thus, from day one, Mr. Rubin had worked tirelessly to help me getting the divorce being properly/justly tried and settled in New York, under New York State divorce law. As I mentioned before, Mr. Rubin truly cares for his clients, I still remember that while he was on personal time, vacationing with his family, Mr. Rubin still took the time and check in with me to see how things were going along. Needless to say, I was touched by his dedication to my case. Although I have only worked with Mr. Rubin in the divorce arena, I have no doubt that Mr. Rubin is just as knowledgeable and professional in other legal areas. As matter of fact, Mr. Rubin will be my first and only person to go to for any legal advises if situation arises. If you are in a situation that requires legal assistance, I highly recommend you to have a talk with Mr. Rubin to see how his expertise can assist you reaching your goal. As I recall from my personal experience, the first consultation is free! Good Luck!
