Michael D. Rubin

Did everything he could to make my divorce as hostile as possible. Does not follow professional etiquette and took advantage of my ex to get a bigger paycheck. In the end, he withdrew to save his reputation because he was going to lose after filing delay after delay. Keep in mind this was written ...by his opposition.

Mike will work hard for you. He may not agree with everything you want. But he definitely will show you the path. Mike will also fight hard for you in the courtroom. He will try to save you a lot of money. This is the most honest lawyer I have ever met. I've talked to several lawyers and I shopped ...around but this guy really helped me out a lot. I was able to get 50/50 custody of my child. The opposing side was trying to do standard visitation. Im really glad i hired mike. Take care of mike and he will take care of you! Treat him with respect and he will respect you.

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

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.
