Ruben's conduct as an attorney was deeply troubling and entirely unprofessional. He exhibited a pattern of bullying and manipulating facts to craft narratives that could jeopardize his clients' legal standing. This behavior was not only reckless but unacceptable for someone in his position.
We als...o found his demeanor to be openly biased, as he seemed particularly dismissive and condescending towards individuals who are not male or white. His behavior towards my wife was especially concerning, as it bordered on harassment. His inappropriate comments and persistent stares made her so uncomfortable that she felt compelled to alter her wardrobe when meeting him.
After just a month of working with Ruben, we made the decision to fire him. His dishonesty and attempts to create a false narrative put us in a position where continuing with him would have risked perjury—a risk we were unwilling to take.
Ruben's toxic attitude extends beyond his biases. He displays a blatant lack of respect for his clients, seeming more interested in asserting control than in understanding or addressing their concerns. His behavior indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the responsibilities of a legal professional and the necessity of valuing the people who pay for his services.
For anyone considering hiring him, think twice. Avoid Ruben at all costs to spare yourself the frustration, discomfort, and potential harm his actions can cause.
