Analysis Paralysis

I found David Rubin through Santa Clara County Bar Association and hired him for my 82 year old father. I have power of attorney over this case. David Rubin billed Dad for a lot of phone calls and emails to me. But never accomplished anything. David Rubin did not listen to any requests we made and a...cted like a one man dog and pony show. David Rubin insisted on talking to my lawyer for advice and arranged a phone call and email with my lawyer. And then billed my Dad. Really? He won’t send a billing statement until you ask for one which allows him plenty of time to soak up the retainer, in particular my Dads retainer without even getting a case filed. He acts like he knows what he is doing in a civil case. But clearly does not. He also consulted other lawyers advice and then billed my Dad. If David Rubin knew he couldn’t competently handle dads case. He should have told us from the beginning. Most family law incorporates civil issues into a case and David Rubin was not competent to manage this. We hired another law firm prior to Rubin and Dad had to let them go because they were ready to file a divorce for my dad. But Dads ex wife had already divorced him. David Rubin told my dad he isn’t able to get along with attorneys so should just drop his case. He also said he didn’t think my Dad would win his case. My question would be. Why did you continue to work on the case and bill Dad if you didn’t think he would win?

I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service you and your father received at my firm. I always strive to exceed my client's expectations, and I would very much like to speak with you and your father so that we can address your concerns. Please reach out to me at your convenience. I look forward to speaking with you.

David Rubin is very professional and easily gained my trust. My case was complicated but it didn't stop him to deal with issues. He is knowledgeable, has effective strategy, excellent analytical skills, and courtroom technique. I was able to get full physical custody, monetary compensation, child su...pport and many advices that helped me to deal with abusive partner's behavior. Still, if I have some questions or advice about my case, Mr. Rubin always follows up and willing to help. I'm immensely thankful for his services and recommend to anyone who need an excellent lawyer!
