My practice is now primarily consumer debt and bankruptcy law matters.

Honest attorney

I met with Lawrence S. Rubin on 3/3/23 to discuss bankruptcy options. He is very straight forward and honest. He even threw in a few jokes or two lol. I was a nervous wreck about the whole process for I didn’t want to lose my home and he reassured me that everything will be fine. Thank you Lawrence for your awesome service.

I'm totally hard to please but Rubin is Top Notch

Expecting to get the runaround, unreturned calls or being dismissed. It was truly a surprise that there are attorneys that respect the solid old school ethics in their profession. Every interaction was productive. What I mostly appreciated was that he took time to explain the process. This was the most stressful period in my life and because of Mr. Rubin I have my house and car. He approached opposing attorneys as if it was his house and car on the line. Feel free to contact me with questions about my experience. I doubt if you find another attorney as knowledgeable, authentic and passionate as Lawrence Rubin.

Chapter 13 Gone Smoothly

After months of struggle and searching for someone to help me with unexpected financial issues, I found Lawrence Rubin. He helped me get through one of the hardest times of my life and was able to comfort me in the process. He did a top notch job with my Chapter 13 bankruptcy and guided me through every step of the process.

Debt collector

You won't find a lawyer that is more responsive to his clients. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and has a calming demeanor...helpful in stressful situations. I highly recommend him and would hire him every time.

Larry is great at what he does and fights hard for his clients!

I hired Larry for my case back in 2019, we are still going through the motions and this is a slow moving lawsuit. Larry has always been professional and educational throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Larry Rubin to anyone who needs legal counsel.

Knowledgeable Debt Lawyer

I highly recommend Mr Rubin for any debt collection matters. He truly knows the law when it comes to this.

Gave me my life back

Mr. Rubin helped me with a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing almost two years ago. I was drowning in debt and he helped work out a plan that was manageable that has really helped me put my life back on track. Mr. Rubin is very knowledgeable and personable and has been available whenever I have had questions or issues that need to be resolved over the past two years. I would highly recommend him if you are facing a similar situation.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Rubin is a professional and experienced attorney! He helped me to get out from a very stressful and unpleasant financial situation. Mr. Rubin completed all of the paperwork and prepared me for major testimony. With his help the whole process was much easier than I expected and I felt that I was being well represented.

Posted by Mo | March 5, 2021

Amazing results

I tried to resolve a dispute against the collection company and creditor on my own for 2 months, going back and forth without getting anywhere, to the point where I had almost given up. Then I hired Larry, and he was able to resolve the matter in my favor, in less than 24-hours. I found Larry to be highly professional, responsive, and effective in his area of expertise. Thank you Larry!

THOROUGH AND RESPONSIVE!!

I was struggling with my finances.....juggling daily life expenses, in addition to college tuition for my children. Backed into a corner and in danger of losing my home, Larry walked me through the necessary steps to avoid that. When you speak with him on the phone, or meet with him personally, as soon as you approve the submission of a document on your behalf, he has done it. I am grateful to him for all of his assistance and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

This man SAVED MY LIFE...no seriously, he rocks as an attorney and a person!

Ok let me first state that Mr. Rubin helped me way back in 2009....he was retained to do my bk and truly helped me through a long arduous process. I was completely lost and his advice helped me tremendously by directing and advising me. I ended up actually learning more about my rights for an old copyright case, something he just went above and beyond to research for me. Ultimately he is a gem of an attorney and truly has empathy and compassion for his clients.

Review

Mr. Rubin worked hard on our behalf to help us win our case. He took on a case that turned out to be more work than expected but kept at it to see it through. He was flexible with his time and always responded to my questions in detail. When things got stressful he would always find a way to make us laugh and calm our nerves. That really helped us get though some of the rougher moments. We highly recommend using Mr. Rubin.
