Michael D. Rubin

I hired Michael after reading most of his reviews on Avvo and seeing how long he’s been in family law. When hiring a lawyer I wanted someone who has been in the industry for a long time, has experienced all types of cases and knows the law like the back of his/her hand... and thats Michael. When I... started the divorce process, my ex didn’t have a lawyer and wanted to divorce amicably. Michael and his team were willing to work with both of us while keeping my best interest (being that I hired him and he warned me things could go south quickly). Naively, I was being very loose with the divorce decisions; not taking half of the 401k, not doing standard visitation and not wanting child support but asking for support to pay for my kids private school. Michael and his team still explained to me everything I was legally entitled to but I made decisions based on thinking I was amicably divorcing. Well that was short lived. My ex got a lawyer without telling me and Michael notified me immediately. My Ex’s lawyer came back with an even worse schedule for my kids and denying paying for private school tuition. After months of not paying me child support, not agreeing to anything Michael sent or just coming back with dumb questions. Michael ended up getting me everything I asked for in the beginning, a child support amount higher than standard child support that pays for my kids private school tuition cost, back pay for the months of missed child support and the original schedule I proposed. Michael really fights for you. You will receive emails from him day and night and you will get a same day replied. He has a fiesty attitude and demolishes any other lawyer that is trying to treat his client unfair. Being that this was my first time going to court or hiring a lawyer and I don’t have family in town to advise me and go to appointments with me, I felt really safe with Michael because he really has yours and your kids best interest. He puts things in perspective, making you realize you should request everything you want but not everything is worth fighting for. BUT he will still fight for you if you want/need him to. I will recommend Michael to anyone I know going through a divorce or in need of family law representation

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.

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.

Mr. Rubin handled my divorce and child custody. He was able to negotiate both matters with me being able to keep my finances in place and receiving child support from my ex-wife. Then 4 years later he brilliantly fought to gain full custody of my sons and receive even higher child support on a mo...nthly basis . Mr. Rubin nullified the opposing attorney and got right to the heart of the matter in my case to achieve a big win and future settlement for my sons. I would highly recommend Michael Rubin as an attorney. He is extremely personable with a wonderful disposition. He cares about his clients. Joseph Paul Dodsonjp

I noticed all his so called great reviews have since disappeared! My experience was a nightmare. Mr. Rubin showed up late for hearings. Sometimes he didn't bother to show up for court hearings. He refused to file documents in a timely manner. He even lost documents relevant to my hearing. He rarely i...f ever prepared me for court. He just didn't care about my family's well being. When I was fed up I called the state bar. State bar warned me about his disciplinary action when I called to ask about how to file a grievance against him.Then there's his grossly incompetent paralegal. She is worse than he is. She will not take your calls. She has no problem billing you for her screw ups.I won't be surprised when his license is suspended from allowing him to practice law.
