I do not write reviews but this is well deserved

David is truly one of a kind — the kind of attorney you hope to find but rarely do. Compassionate, skilled, and remarkably reliable, he exceeded every expectation I had. Like many people, I found myself searching online and just hoping I’d land on the right attorney without having to call around end...lessly. From our very first conversation, I knew I had found someone special. David didn’t just listen — he *understood*. He was honest, clear, and deeply respectful throughout the entire process. His fees were more than fair, especially considering the high level of care, follow-through, and dedication he provided from start to finish. David managed every aspect of my case with precision, professionalism, and heart. I never once felt lost or out of the loop — he kept me informed every step of the way. He was always available for questions, no matter how small, and made a difficult situation far less overwhelming. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we achieved the results we had hoped for. But what truly sets David apart is how he supported me during one of the most painful and personal times in my life — separate from the legal matter itself. I had to travel across the country to the East Coast to grieve the loss of a loved one, and without hesitation, David stepped in and took full control of the case so I could focus on my family. Knowing he had everything handled gave me the peace of mind I so badly needed during that time. That level of compassion and dependability is rare — in any profession. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only incredibly competent but also *cares*, David is the one. He treats you like a person, not a case file. I hope I never need legal help again, but if I do, I know exactly who to call. Thank you, David — for being my advocate, my steady hand, and a true professional during such a difficult chapter. L

Legal representation

I was very pleased that I hired David to represent me. He was great at keeping me informed, explaining to me my options, and giving me his professional advice. I feel like Mr. Rubin went above and beyond what was expected of him. I really can’t say enough as to how much I appreciate his services.

Great Attorney and Human Being!

David Rubin is not only a great attorney, but also obviously a great human being. I contacted other attorneys and they all basically told me, "your case is too small, not interested". But David treated me with respect, was extremely professional, prompt, and thorough. He was patient enough to walk me... through everything without trying to sway me in any direction whatsoever. Just laid out the information in a very detailed, but easy to understand manner and respected my decisions. I would highly recommend David Rubin to anyone who needs an attorney for anything. Excellent experience overall.
