David Ruben was an outstanding custody lawyer . His fact finding and expertise leadership won the case for my daughter and grandson favorably I was extremely impressed with his endless work ethics We are so grateful to him for everything !!!!!
"David Ruben, Esquire is a highly regarded attorney in the Baltimore legal community. I first met David over 20 years ago when we attended law school together and have had the pleasure of working with him on many cases over the years. David is smart, dedicated and passionate about advocating for his clients and bringing their case to a successful conclusion. David's character is beyond reproach and his professionalism and compassion is greatly appreciated by his colleagues, clients and the judiciary. You will be very happy that you hired him to represent you."
"I have known David as long as I have been practicing law. and we have had many cases against each other. David is one of the best attorneys in Anne Arundel County and the state of Maryland."
"I have now had the opportunity to work on two matters with David - we were able to settle one; the other needed to be tried. David is a skilled negotiator, and when the situation requires it, a formidable litigator. I highly, and without qualification, recommend David to anyone looking to hire an attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. David is a terrific attorney and I am sure his clients and colleagues find him knowledgeable, assertive, and effective. David and I were on the opposite sides of a case recently. David fights for his clients, and is very assertive of their rights while still being a pleasure to work with as an opposing attorney."
"I recommend David Ruben because his peers and his clients hold him in high regard. Having someone as experienced as attorney Ruben is critical. I endorse this lawyer."
"Dave is a fine attorney and an all around great guy. Although my experience with him ha been in family law, I know he has an extensive practice in bankruptcy law as well. He is highly recommended."

"I endorse Mr. Ruben strongly. He and I had a contentious matter with some unique legal issues. He was able to walk the fine line of being professional yet effectively aggressive for his client at the same time."
"Having know David for close to 30 years, I and can say – without hesitation – that he is one of the finest attorneys I have even know."
"I've had several cases with David, and he is a pleasure to work with. What clients don't tend to understand (or like) is that it's much better to have a good working relationship with your opposing counsel than to go at each other's throats over every little thing. I enjoy working with David, and he's a good advocate for his clients."
"I have known David for many years. He is a wonderful advocate and always puts the interests of his client first."
"Mr. Ruben is an excellent trial attorney. He works hard for his clients and I endorse his work. He has a wealth of experience and is a zealous advocate."

"I have known David for more than 20 years. He is a strong advocate for his clients. He is well versed in the law and is an effective advocate for all of his clients."
"I have worked with Mr. Ruben as opposing counsel on many cases. He is easy to work with and very knowledgeable in the area of family law. Mr. Ruben is a true advocate for his clients."
"Mr. Ruben is an excellent and well respected attorney in the community. I have opposed him in family law cases and he is professional and knowledgeable. I refer bankruptcy matters to Mr. Ruben regularly. He takes very good care of his clients, and knows the law."
"David is a highly intelligent, well-respected attorney in the community whom I have had the opportunity to work with both as co-counsel and opposing counsel. While zealously advocating for his client, David remained respectful to me, my client, and the Court when on opposing sides of a case. Additionally, I would not hesitate to be co-counsel with him in another matter."
