Took my money and quit case

I don't know who is worse this lawyer or the judge who let him quit after he took my money.... his defense consists of demanding that you plead guilty and there's no other option he doesn't even meet with anybody he sends a text message complaining about my non-existent criminal record to the DA and ...then saying that I had to go get fingerprinted and plead guilty otherwise I would have to spend a week renting hotels while they sorted the case out... I said I'd take the hotels and then he quit the case ...and the judge ALLOWED him to. this man should be disbarred.

The Judge allowed me to withdraw based upon your disgusting antisemitic remarks, and noted that you "fired" me in her Order allowing withdrawal, wherein you called me, inter-alia, a "Yarmulke wearing shitbag", "Jews will not replace you", and a multitude of blood libel you got from your antisemitic sources.......THE COURT NOTED YOUR CONDUCT AND WORDS IN THE ORDER ALLOWING ME TO WITHDRAW FROM REPRESENTING YOU FOR REASONS SO OBVIOUS, STEVIE WONDER CAN SEE IT. YOU ALLEGE JEWS ARE MONEY OBSESSED, THE EVIDENCE HERE SUGGESTS YOU ARE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM, AS YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH $750 FROM TWO YEARS AGO. THE COURT ORDER AND YOUR ANTISEMITIC RANTS ARE ALL PUBLIC RECORD, WHICH I AM GLAD TO PROVIDE COPIES OF THESE PUBLIC RECORDS TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE THESE PUBLIC RECORDS TO PREVENT YOUR FILTHY LIES AND DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT YOUR CASE, THE COURT, AND ABOUT ME. I JUST LOOKED AT AND PRINTED OUT YOUR LINKEDIN ACCOUNT, AND PERHAPS YOU CAN EXPLAIN HOW YOUR REVIEW, JEW HATRED AND ANTISEMITIC RANTS MAKE YOU "a reliable, soft spoken gentleman with excellent phone manners and sales experience." Hunter Falck Labor Ready Temporary Employee at Labor Ready... Labor Ready Ulster County Community College Jensen Beach, Florida, United States Contact info "I am a reliable, soft spoken gentleman with excellent phone manners and sales experience." YOU ALSO ALLEGE YOU HAVE NO PRIOR RECORD, BUT I JUST FOUND THIS THEFT OF DONUTS AND DANISH WHEN GOOGLING YOUR NAME THIS MORNING: ARREST: Deputies from the Ulster County Sheriff's Office report the arrest of Hunter S. Falck, 27 years old, of Box 50 42nd St, Kerhonkson, NY. On 07/02/2013 at 11:30 AM. Mr. Falck was charged with Petit Larceny (Class A Misdemeanor) On May 30th, 2013 Deputies received a report of a larceny of baked goods from the Kwik Mart in Accord. Investigation revealed that after the baked goods were delivered to the store Mr. Falck stole eight dozen bagels, two dozen sub rolls and three dozen assorted danish from the delivery location. The stolen items had a value of approximately $41.70. Mr. Falck was released on an appearance ticket to appear in the Town of Rochester Court on 07/10/2013 at 6:00 PM. IF YOU WANT TO THROW STONES, MOVE OUT OF YOUR GLASS HOUSE THIS JEW FIGHTS BACK AND WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THEN FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO FLORIDA, BUT YOU ARE SPINELESS✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️.

Got things done quickly!

Working with Mike Rubin was a pleasure. He was very quick to respond about questions and concerns with my case. We were able to take care of everything outside the court room in writing. I live 2 hrs from Martin county which was going to be a pain to travel for my case but Mike took care of everythin...g! Awesome attorney and would highly recommend him. Fees were very fair as well.

Old school with new school resources

I felt when I was describing my case to Mr. Rubin, he put himself in my shoes as if he were the one charged with the offense. Immediately I noticed a service I hadn't received from previous representation. I felt his fee was more than fair, and his ability to keep me informed was magnificent. I hope ...I need not his services in the future, but he WILL be my first call.

Terrible person and lawyer

I hired Mr. Rubin to represent my son in a misdemeanor charge. He was super nice until the moment he received my 1500 dollars. He refused to send a letter to the judge that we wrote stating “ It would be against the oath he took to the Florida Bar” The letter was simply a plea to ask for him to rec...eive bond. He told me that if my son was transferred from Broward to Martin county he would send an email and ask judge to get him in court sooner. Yet when he did get transferred he refused to even try. The day before my son was set to appear before the judge, Mr Rubin sent us a text to say he was able to get the date moved up... which was a total lie because it was the date he had been scheduled for the entire time. Mr Rubin shows up in courts and looks like he slept in the suit! He didn’t even attempt to speak to me and ran out of the court room after so I couldn’t speak to him. For anyone Considering hiring this man, here is my advice.... if you are looking for someone who will be disrespectful, nasty, mean and degrading to you then this is your man. Make sure you check the Florida Bar ( which I didn’t do before I hired him) had I checked the bar first I would have know better. Yes, I will be sending a complaint to the Florida Bar! I have everyone of his nasty texts and email that will show exactly how unprofessional this man really is to his clients! Special thank you to all the professional lawyers in the court room you guided me on where and how to pickup my son for jail.

Your adult son was treated with the ultimate in professionalism and results; You retained me after your son was in jail in Broward County, because he failed to appear for court in Martin County when represented by other counsel. He was arrested on a No Bond warrant based upon his failure to appear. I immediately had him transported to Martin County, where he was brought into Court at the first opportunity possible wherein he was sentenced to time served. Your son testified in Court he was completely satisfied with my representation, and, he left Court without a criminal conviction, and a time served sentence. I respect and appreciate your frustration with the no bond that was placed on him when he failed to appear, but, the Court Ordered he be held without bond as result of his failure to appear. Had he been represented by my office from the beginning, he never would have failed to appear as scheduled, but, that's what happens when you do not use my office. I will not respond to your disparaging insults, and, hope you feel better about yourself by insulting the one person who was on your son's side.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mike and I were both prosecutors in the same office- at different times; and we were co-counsel on a case together- our client was facing 10 years and went home because we convinced the jury to convict on misdemeanors instead of felonies. Mike is a competent and diligent attorney who zealously advocates his client's causes. Anyone who decided to retain Mike mad a wise choice."
