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.

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”
