Excellent representation

I hired Ari to defend me in a misdemeanor battery charge. He was friendly, dedicated, and professional throughout the process and made sure there were no surprises. He communicated with me regularly, even when there were no major updates and prepared me for my eventual trial. At the trial, he did an ...excellent job of representing me and was able to secure a not guilty verdict.

A knowledgeable and dedicated attorney who works tirelessly for his clients.

Mr. Trubitt helped me get through a difficult legal situation and it was in no small part due to his extensive experience and dedicated service that we reached a favorable outcome in the end. He is always working to serve the needs of his client and it really shows. I always felt confident that Ari w...as asking the right questions and in the correct manner to reach a successfully conclusion. I am in a much better place legally and I can say without hesitation that is was because of Ari's vast legal knowledge and commitment to professionalism. I have already recommended him to all my friends and family or would gladly use him again in the future. The bottom line is that Ari is an expert in his field and will work tirelessly to help you achieve the legal outcomes you desire. He did a terrific job on my case and I am sure that he will do the same for you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
