Highly Recommend

I just finished working with David Rubin concerning a personal injury case. I can’t say enough good things about his professional attention to every detail throughout the whole process. I would recommend him 1000%. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him if you’re ever in the need for an expert attorney.

You couldn't hope to find a better attorney!

I just chose David because he was near where I lived and I just "hoped for the best". I am happy to tell you that I was so happy with my choice! From day ONE, David began answering my numerous questions, explaining everything in easy to understand language. He never made me feel like I was wasting h...is time! I had never thought about suing anyone before and we exchanged emails and phone calls for at least a couple of weeks before I felt comfortable enough to proceed. I didn't think the "little guy" had a chance against a big Corporation and my case was far from a slam dunk. During that time, David never once pressured me to sign an Agreement and he always got back to me the same day to answer my questions. The fact that he would invest so much time in me without even knowing if he would get paid eventually told me he is someone who really cares about people. He worked so diligently on my behalf and he never once failed to keep me posted on how things were going and if he wasn't sure of the answer to something, he always knew how to find out what he needed from other colleagues he had a working relationship with. David is an honest, down to earth attorney who would never put his own interests first. His clients can have confidence in his abilities and never doubt he is going to do his very BEST for them. He negotiated a settlement we both felt was fair and he made sure I was happy with everything before he accepted the offer on my behalf. He respected the decisions I made and he never made me feel like he thought he was "superior" to me in some way like some attorneys do. He is exactly the professional I needed at the right time and I highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking of filing a personal injury suit. Thank you so much David.

A pleasure to work with!

Attorney Dave Rubin was a pleasure to work with. He was not scared off by my somewhat unique PI case. He handled the case well, was very informative on the progress, was very reachable with calls and emails etc. His vast legal expertise was a huge asset to my case. I would be happy to work with h...im again, and highly recommend him to anyone needing help.
