Excellent Attorney

Ruben did a fantastic job for me. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the law and very efficient. He would constantly keep me updated on my case and was very helpful in assisting me with making necessary decisions. I would definitely hire him again. I highly recommend Ruben.

Flood Damage as a consequence of home renovation

Posted by anonymousSat Aug 12 2017

Ruben Socarras was referred to us by our cousin who is a lawyer in Miami. We had an issue of a flood from our shower as a result of renovations. Our general Contractor refused to accept responsibility and placed a lien on our property. After reviewing the file, Ruben told us that his goal was to settle with a minimum of legal costs and to avoid going to court. He succeeded in obtaining mediation and a settlement that was very satisfactory for us. We were always kept up to date and consulted. His friendly calm demeanor and honesty were much appreciated.
