This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Reuven and his team are ABSOLUTE ROCKSTARS

I can't go into details, but they are the dream team. Reuven deeply cares for his clients, is always there when you need him, and treats his clients with passion and dedication. I found Reuven on Avvo and based on his reviews, decided to meet with him. Out of a dozen attorneys we met with, him... and his team stood out as the clear winners. Real honest down-to-earth people that simply know how to get things done. I can say with 100% certainty that should you retain Reuven, you will be the best hands possible. My first attorney really got me into a bad situation. After firing my first attorney, Reuven and Charles came to the rescue to clean up the mess and they literally got the best-case scenario outcome which seemed like a hailmary longshot - These people are simply the B-E-S-T. If you are browsing around trying to find an attorney, do yourself a favor and at least meet with him. You will be thankful you did.

A highly competent and wonderful attorney

Reuven is a truly amazing attorney. Period! He knows the system, knows who is who in the USAO, and most importantly will ADVOCATE for his clients. Reuven also has a very caring soul. He was always there when a question would arise, or it was just a more than miserable day in MDC-LA, and anxiet...y was kicking in on overdrive. He provided advise and direction through my case running it's course through the system. As another reviewer mentioned, I totally agree that he is a true professional and an even better human being.

Excellent Lawyer for Federal Cases

Reuven is an extremely talented lawyer who's knowledge of federal law saved me from 20+ years of federal incarceration. He is trustworthy, friendly, smart and an all around excellent lawyer. I would highly recommend Reuven if he is willing to take your case. Thanks Reuven, you are the greatest!
