If you’re reading reviews for attorneys right now then it probably means you’re feeling overwhelmed with how many lawyers there are and struggling with choosing the right lawyer for your needs and your budget. While I can't speak to everyone's situation, I will tell you about our problem and why ...we (after reading tons of reviews and combing through dozens of websites) chose David Ruben as our Attorney, and why we are 1000% glad that we did! In a nutshell, my 19YO son lost his mind on 1/1/2018 and managed to get clocked going 80MPH in a 40MPH (a federal $550 citation) zone on a military installation, and because it was a construction zone, he was also cited with Reckless Driving (also $550)- In totality, the tickets would cost $1100 and 11 points on my son's record, and if convicted, he would have to turn his license in because we wouldn't be able to afford the car insurance. Next thing you know, I'm doing what you're doing now...Googling traffic attorneys, getting overwhelmed, drinking alcohol, reading Yelp reviews, drinking more..Well, you get the point. So I'm going to save you time (and your alcohol) and advise you to stop banging your head against the wall and just choose David, because if you're in a jam due to traffic tickets or driving citations, he has the experience and skill to make sure you get the best possible defense to fight your dragons. David's prices were very reasonable; he was not the cheapest or the most expensive, but in this type of situation with so much to lose, do you really want to go bargain hunting? Add to the fact that David spent over $60 in parking garage fees and 2 days with us at the federal courthouse, and I almost feel like he didn't charge enough! ;-) David responded immediately to my email explaining our situation, quoted us a flat and fair price from the get-go, and was kind, courteous and knowledgeable about what to expect. He explained the process thoroughly and held our hands through the entire experience, and we felt he really had my son's best interest at heart. From the beginning to the end of the process, David maintained almost instantaneous communication with us regarding our case and it was truly a HUGE relief to know we chose a fair, competent lawyer to help save our son. In the end, the Reckless Driving charge was dismissed, and the 80/40 was placed as a PBJ with a 12 month probation (versus the usual 36 months) and my son only paid $250 fine (plus $30 processing fee) instead of $1,100.00. The outcome was even better than what we had hoped for, and we owe it all to David Ruben- He's the BEST! :-)

Excellent attorney.

Mr. Ruben was hired by me for a DUI case. After a free consultation where he took the time to listen to my case carefully, he told me exactly what he thought about the case and what he believed the possible outcomes could be. After shopping around, I realized that no one took as much time and interes...t through a FREE consultation as Mr. Ruben did. Communication was clear and constant throughout the process, Mr. Ruben would call or text me back instantaneously no matter the time or day to respond to my inquiries. In terms of results! I understand that every case is different, but this was my second DUI charge within a 5 year span. Although my first ended with a PBJ, the fact that the record was still there greatly worried me. My case was thrown out of court, and Mr. Ruben had told me that he was expecting that outcome from the get go. Mr. Ruben was also present for my MVA hearing where his knowledge of the flaws in my case resulted in me avoiding suspension and getting my license back. If you're looking for a fair attorney who doesn't beat around the bush, David Ruben is your guy.

A+++ Divorce attorney

Very competent and quick to resolve divorce matters. I retained David several years back and he was able to get the ball rolling with my divorce. David was always available when I needed to speak to him and made this unpleasant process as pleasant as can be. He is very caring and gets the job done.

Modification of Divorce Decree

David was understanding. He fought for me tooth and nail. But, when a judge has made up his mind before the trial even started, there is no turning back. The way the decree was set up, we shouldnt have lost. We should have been in and out. When it comes to a judge, its 50/50. They understand or they ...dont. David tried his best to get the judge to understand my case. You see, the opposing party had already agreed to the terms. They werent just ordered, he agreed. In the end I still believe he was a very superior Attorney. Even though I lost, Id still recommend him because regardless of a judges choice he still represented my case to the fullest. :)

Trustworthy and Honest

I never heard about the unlawful detainer law that protects a homeowner from individuals living in your home that have been asked to move especially as it pertains to a spouse. Mr. Ruben was confident this would be the best route in the removal process and he was exactly right. The case was decided ...in my favor. If you are looking for an attorney who is trustworthy and honest......look no further. (Not a cliché) Mr. Ruben will dedicate time to hearing your case and providing real answers to your questions. The reviews you read about him making you feel as if you are his only client is absolutely TRUE! Thanks Mr. Ruben for not just showing up to work for the dollars but making each dollar count through the excellent service you have provided.
