      I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Rubio on a case , and He and his partners were the most professional Lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with. The hours they worked on my son's case was only a blessing. Long hours, serious investigating. If I had a question they were answered within a courteous number of hours not days. Mr. Rubio makes it his responsibility to look at each case and individualize each and everyone of them. Mr. Rubio knew my family did not have any money. I am a middle class working woman , living from pay check to pay check, and Mr. Rubio has yet to ask me for a penny. If you want a job well done Rubio Law Firm is the one. Thank you Mr. Rubio, and may God give you your just reward.

      I retained Mr. Rubio to defend me on a minor drug possession charge. Mr. Rubio was diligent, professional and most importantly, always accessible and responsive to my calls and concerns. With his nearly 40 years of criminal law practice in South Florida, it was very evident how respected he was in the judicial system. He knew his way around the Dade County system very well, was tenacious in my defense and ultimately my charges were dismissed. No matter who I encountered during my ordeal, everyone knew of Mr. Rubio and assured me I made a wise choice in retaining him. He is a very well respected member of the legal community and well known by other attorneys. His professional demeanor also worked to my advantage as he clearly has earned the respect of judges in Dade county. You can rest assured you are in good hands with Frank Rubio.

      Very serious lawyer, reliable and confident

      I've been with this lawyer and i realized how he is serious and has great conduct. One of the most important lawyer ever! He works seriously and hard. I had a case that was very complicated to me. I spent several nights awaked and he resolved my problem. I used to call he all the time, and he always returned my calls as soon as possible. I can say he is the best in florida. Great influence and knowledge in Miami court. No matter what you have, he will fight to help you and solve your problem. Great lawyer with no objections. Don't waste your time hiring any attorney.

      I recently had the opportunity to work With Frank on a case. He is an absolute professional and zealous advocate. I thoroughly enjoyed working along side him and would give him the highest ratings. Great Lawyer!!!

      In 1991 Mr. Rubio had already been a successful practicing criminal defense litigator for 15 years when I became licensed as a lawyer. I was fortunate to have had the privilege of being able to watch, and learn, from such a highly skilled practicioner. Fast forward nearly 25 years (which puts Mr. Rubio at nearly 40 years in this industry) and, although he doesn't look like he could be that long in practice, he is pretty much the Yoda / Jedi Master of SoFlo criminal defense litigation. You simply will not find a more experienced, reliable and skilled litigator than Herman Frank Rubio, Jr., whom I am elated to endorse.

      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I met Mr. Rubio while I was in law school in 2000. I had the honor of watching him argue complex cases and trial. He is a consummate professional and knows the State and Federal system as well as any attorney in the State, if not beyond. We have worked on a few matters together and his legal skills and knowledge are second to none. I'd hire him in a second. He's one of the very finest attorneys you will ever find.

      I endorse this lawyer. Frank is an outstanding attorney who is recognized throughout south Florida as one of the very best!!
