Great Experience

I have nothing but wonderful things to say regarding Mr. Rubin and the job he did on my case. If you care about your lawyer being honest, knowledgeable, upfront about difficult decisions, and most of all showing integrity throughout the whole process...Jim is your man! I didn't know what to exp...ect with this being the first time I've had to deal with courts & lawyers. Jim made the experience as pain free as possible, all the while making sure to have my best interests at hand. I will recommend Jim to any, and all, acquaintances that may need help with legal matters dealing with employment and labor law. After winning our case and dealing first hand with Jim, I'm not surprised by the fact that he was recommended by several people prior to my first meeting with him.

Cured my phobia

I never liked the idea of working with a lawyer before. I always hated seeing the commericals for "if you were" and thought the worst. But when I needed someone to explain the law and repersent me Mr. Rubin was there. I not only like how he kept me informed, but how he ineracted with me and asked me ...how I was doing as I was going though this all. I will consult James Edward Rubin the next time I need law assistance, and know that if it is not his area study, he would refer me to someone of his caliber. Thank you James. Lonnie Johnson

Why would you use anybody else?

After a fairly lengthy selection review process, I retained Jim to provide legal advice and guidance for an employment dispute with a previous employer. I found his subject matter expertise was invaluable and his intuition regarding our case strategy was "spot on" and definitely not something the ...average attorney possesses or can simply learn in Law School. In addition, I found him to be very personable and throughout the entire process, I definitely felt like he was serving and advancing my best interests.

The guy you want on your side!

This man is extremely knowledgeable in matters of employment law. From our initial meeting, I found that things went exactly as he predicted. Mr. Rubin constructed a powerful, and airtight case from my legal claims. He is an expert at strategizing, and he seemed to know what the opposing council woul...d do, before they did it. I had great confidence in him at all times, and he came through by bringing about a just and satisfactory settlement for me. You will rest easy with this guy in your corner, and I would be very uneasy to be going up against him.
