DO NOT HIRE

Attorney Rubin will ask for a retainer then within a couple of weeks request more money then within a couple weeks request even more money then Rubin filed with the courts after messing up your entire case that his attorneys fees were less than the first retainer and you will never receive the remain...der of your retainer back. I should’ve done a better Internet search on his reviews before hired him because this exact situation has happened to a lot of people that have hired him. Document filings that should take 30 to 60 days will take a year to year and a half. You will not receive phone calls or emails back you will not be prepped for hearings and in the end your case will be so messed up you will have to hire a different attorney to try to fix your case. You’ll get phone calls late at night from Attorney Rubin‘s mother saying that your case has to be postponed this will happen numerous times. Save yourself a nightmare experience any attorney is better than hiring attorney Rubin. All he wants is money and more money and more money will not show up for court will not do your filings will mess up your case will not send you billing and will not return any of your unused money.

do not hire him

Wasted an unbelievable amount of time and money with this law office. they screwed up my case pretty bad. didn't prepare me for any hearing. I had to hire another attorney just to correct all the mess and mistakes they made. I do not recommend him to anyone.

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”
