Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr. Rubin the later part of August 2019 to handle my divorce. I knew after my consolation Mr. Rubin would do exactly what I needed for him to do. After representing in my custody hearing Mr. Rubin was able to get everything granted by the judge that I ask for with the exception of two things.... I’m beyond thankful for Mr. Rubin and his team. I know going forward in my divorce he will make sure everything will be handled professionally. He will quickly respond to you and try to get everything you ask for and more. Thank you so much Mr. Rubin for all your hard work!

Michael dominates in court

I hired Michael as my my divorce attorney. My soon to be ex and I had a certain plan within which we were going to get a divorce. An ugly event occurred Involving my children, therefore I found Myself scrambling and researching to find someone to help me. I reached out to Michael and immediately he ...came to my assistance. I’ve lived under a narcissistic, emotionally and verbally abusive husband for years. I didn’t even know it was occurring. He not only manipulated me but Also my children. A narcissist in The public eye is loved and respected. That was not the case at home. How does one protect and defend herself and children against one thar has such Control, power and connections? I’m still in the process of working through the divorce with Michael. The family situation was complicated and we ended up having a closed court hearing for a few hours with multiple cross examinations. For the first time in my life, my ex was humbled, speechless. He used his eloquent words and charisma to answer questions. Maybe that would have worked elsewhere? But with Michael that absolutely did not happen.. My ex was his own worst enemy and Michael was able to definitively show the judge The harm he was doing to his family. My ex was brought to his knees and actually was unable to communicate for days. He needs psychological help and Michael is working towards the betterment of his health despite his wrongdoings. I’m currently waiting for temporary orders. Michael covered all angles and guided me during a time of confusion. I was just realizing I was a victim of abuse without fully realizing it for years. I will Finish this review as the case closes. No matter how nervous or scared you may be as you walk into that court room, take comfort because Michael will take control. I walked out of the hearing confident and amazed For he accomplishes what no one else could.

Best Lawyer in Dallas!!!!

Mr. Rubin is the type of attorney you want by your side in a court room. He helped me with a child custody case that involved my niece. Each time we went to court, he was prepared, confident and didn't take any crap off the other attorney or the mother of my niece. Long story short. He's an excel...lent attorney. My family has used him numerous times and we have ALL been happy with our outcome. Thank you Mr. Rubin for being an excellent attorney!!!

Wonderful Attorney

I hired Mr. Rubin to handle my divorce because after consulting with him, I knew he would be able to handle my future, ex-nightmare. I was overwhelmed and needed to act rather quickly. He responded to my questions with compassion, helped me understand the process and got things moving right away. H...e knew what to do and earned my trust. I never felt like just another client, just billable hours or ignored. He always acted in my best interest. He and his assistant, Nicol responded quickly and with patience when I had questions. He knew what I was up against and dealt with it in a timely manner. He knows what he's doing, I would highly recommend him.

Be on the winning side....

Michael represented me in my divorce almost two years ago. Very little could be decided out of court so we ended up going to trial. I was dealing with all of the emotional aspects of the divorce and relied on Michael completely. I was very nervous for the trial because my ex-husband was also an ...attorney and he had that advantage over me. Being in a court room was quite comfortable for him and not for me. Michael calmed my nerves and gave me the confidence to answer truthfully and be well prepared. My ex was not very cooperative with providing all the documentation that was provided, didn’t show up for our first trial that was set, but that didn’t stop Michael. He was well prepared, pouring over countless emails and financial statements in the last minute. He got my everything I asked for: maximum child support, spousal support, custody, debt that was in both of our names was required for him to pay. So in all, I was absolutely pleased with the outcome. My absolutely favorite thing about Michael was his relentless approach during trial. When he got my ex-husband on the stand he asked him the hard questions and DID NOT BACK DOWN when my ex tried to use his own experience as a trial attorney. The judge even stepped in at one point and told my ex, that he might be use to being in a courtroom, but this was not HIS courtroom today, it was hers and he needed to answer the questions. Some refer to Michael as a shark, but I feel that term is a negative way to describe him, instead he gets the job done and he does it very well and will not back down. I wasn’t prepared for the fact that Eventhough the divorce is final and there is a decree, I would have to continue to fight for the things in the decree. But Michael has been there to answer questions for me. Unfortunately we moved back to Colorado or I would have taken my ex back to court with Michael. Thank you for a job well done.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2024.

Disability Suspension issued in TX, 2024

updated on 06/13/2024

Disability Suspension means the attorney has lost his or her license to practice law as a result of a mental or physical disability.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2015

updated on 09/07/2016

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Michael’s comment:

“All the discipline is a result of having to shut down my practice. It is complicated shutting down an practice and mistakes were made. Prior to this-I have never been in trouble with the law or any other organization. Since starting to work again-I have limited my case load and if you see my reviews on Thumbtack you will see that my clients are very satisfied with my work. These incidents occurred in late 2012-early 2013. Nothing has occurred since then. Michael Rubin”

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2015

updated on 09/07/2016

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Michael’s comment:

“In December of 2012 I became very ill and had to shut down my practice. I did not work for 8 months. Mistakes were made in closing the practice. None of the discipline had anything to do with my competency as a lawyer. These events occurred in 2012 and early 2013 but the cases were not resolved until 2015. I would ask that you consider my client reviews here and on other sites. Please also call me to discuss any concerns you may have. Thanks Michael Rubin”
