Great Attorney
Mr. Rubin was very knowledgeable and explained everything the whole way. I dealt with him directly no middle person to go through. Made the process so easy. Would highly recommend him to any one that needs a lawyer.

Phenomenal Lawyer
Mr. Ruben is a phenomenal lawyer that I will always use at my defense! He did all the work for me and all I had to do is show up! He got my case dismissed as he reassured me prior to my court date that everything will be fine! If anyone is reading this I promise you this is the lawyer you want on you...

Great job and highly recommended!
Mr. Rubin did a very good job representing me on a traffic ticket. Communications were proactive and frequent. He made it clear what to expect as far as follow-up by the constable, court filings, timing, what to do once a date was scheduled, etc... In the end the ticket was dismissed. Mr. Rubin e...
"James has the kind of presence that makes a jury listen and makes a prosecutor uneasy. He is very likable and draws people in with his confident, yet relaxed, demeanor. James is thorough with his analysis of a case, and has impressed me on a number of occasions in pre-trial hearings, making arguments about technical aspects of a case and having a sharp eye for details that many defense attorneys simply miss. James comes off as reasonable (even when the defendant seems unreasonable), and he has gained my respect and trust. In my work as a prosecutor, it is rare for me to meet a defense attorney like James who has both exceptional legal skills and the charisma it takes to successfully defend a case. He has the unique ability to make my job more difficult, but also more enjoyable, whenever I see him in court."
"James is an excellent attorney and one who represents his clients zealously. He is always well prepared in a courtroom and as a fairly new attorney, I was able to watch and learn from him. He is a great trial lawyer and I would recommend him to friends and family."
"James has been a friend and colleague for many years and I have had the privilege of seeing him try several cases to jury. He is wonderful in trial. Further, James is meticulous in how he handles his cases and is able to quickly build rapport with everyone in the courtroom—including opposing counsel. He is a gifted trial attorney who understands the law and is able to insightfully represent his clients’ best interests on every level. His Spanish is impeccable. Anyone who hires James is in very good hands."
"James keeps me invincible on the roads. Not only do i send him all my clients for speeding tickets, he handles all of my personal ones. and there are alot of those. He's simply the best. Magic Man."
"I have known James for over 10 years. He is a hell of a lawyer. We both practice in the same field (criminal and class C violations) and I would tell any client who asked why they should hire me over him that I don't have a good answer. James is an excellent tactician with the ability to think on his feet and make the right call time and time again. I have watched him in trial and have learned from him. He is compassionate and puts his clients first. He will fight for his clients and he will tell them the truth. His ability to convince prosecutors to give away a little bit more comes from beating many of them time and time again in trial. I would hire him I were in need of a top notch attorney."
"I have known James for about two years and believe him to be an excellent attorney. He is affable and connects well with other attorneys and jurors alike. He is a skilled litigator, always representing his clients zealously and ethically. As a prosecutor, I have seen first hand how James is always working towards achieving the best possible outcome for his client, whether in a pretrial hearing or during a trial."
"I have known Mr. Rubin for nearly 15 years, since we attended law school together. I have always been impressed with his legal writing skills and his ability to craft a winning argument. His dedication to his clients to get the best possible disposition is always his top priority."
"James Rubin is a great trial lawyer and an excellent attorney. He is a problem solver and knows the law. He always looks out for his client's best interests and does not give up until they are satisfied with the outcome of their case. I have worked with him for several years and together with him on many Criminal matters. James is professional, skilled, honest, ethical and attentive to detail. I endorse this lawyer."
"James is a amazing attorney and even a better person. I worked alongside James for over 8 years in court. He is one of the best trial lawyers I have ever seen. He always goes the extra mile for his clients. If you want an attorney who isn't afraid to fight your case then James Rubin is your attorney."
"James is one of the energetic and best prepared lawyers I’ve dealt with. I can’t imagine any scenario where anyone would feel that retaining James was anything other than the best move he or she could have made."
"I worked alongside James Rubin for several years and would recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone searching for an advocate in any type of criminal matter. He's extremely detail-oriented and excellent at connecting with juries. A client would do well to hire him and would be lucky to have him in their corner."
"I wholeheartedly endorse James. He fights for his clients zealously and wins his jury trials. Prosecutors know to either dismiss his cases or lose at trial. He has a more than 95% dismissal rate. He can handle DWI's, Assaults, Felonies, traffic tickets, etc.. He can do it all. He is very knowledgeable about the law and has a great work ethic. Truly a great attorney!"
