Michael D. Rubin

He was handling my divorce and in the beginning he was great. I paid him what he asked and then he got the court to agree that my husband would pay any remaining fees. I was in a motorcycle wreck that took a couple years to completely heal from then I got sick ended up in the hospital with double p...neumonia and was sent home with oxygen not able to get off the couch for more than 3 minutes at a time… sick for a year and a couple months before I got a diagnosis. During all of my down time, my friend was taking care of my stuff. The attorney said he couldn’t get ahold of my ex and was supposed to file the final decree of divorce. I found out just looking online that my husband and my name was on a docket for Dallas but there was no date. I immediately sent emails to Michael and sent him a text as well. He responded to the text and wanted to know who I was so I told him. The next day (Sunday) he sent me a text saying “I am withdrawn from your case and have been for a while… good luck.” To which I replied you quit and didn’t tell me. And he said “I withdrew and followed the procedures…..good luck ………” HE DID NOT TELL ME ANYTHING! He did not email me anything. He didn’t even file my final divorce decree so now there is a possibility that it will be dismissed and this divorce was NOT CHEAP! I can not even get him to send me the paperwork so I can see about filing it myself. I thought about it being dismissed but my soon to be ex and I are ready for it to just be over with. I’ve left 4 messages with his office today trying to get them to send me the final decree of divorce as well as whatever Michael said he did to withdraw from the case and no one will contact me. He quit responding to emails a LONG time ago. Just stopped. He’s had I don’t know how many legal secretaries since I started my divorce. He is Schizophrenic and I don’t think he is doing a very good job at representing his clients. Quitting on one has to be bad for business.

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.

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.
