Extremely rude and doesn't seem to care about his clients.

He was always very short with me the times I could actually get a hold of him. When deciding what to do with my case and explaining the plea offer he neglected to tell me multiple things that were in the offer including restitution payments. I asked him multiple times if I was loosing my licence and ...he told me no even though in the deal I was loosing it for 1 year. He neglected to tell me about A WHOLE charge that I was being charged with. I asked him if he would counter offer the deal asking for the DA to drop the felony to a misdemeanor, he came back saying they said not at this time but that once I successfully completed probation it would drop to a misdemeanor. He told me it was a good deal because it was a package and so I was only paying fines on one charge and there was only probation on one charge. Only after I plead in court and the judge was reading me back the details of the deal did I find out about there being fines and probation on both charges, restitution and the extra charge. When I brought it up to him he was extremely rude to me saying that the only reason I was saying anything was because I was about to get sentenced, admitting that he had neglected to tell me about the restitution fees but he wasn't sure about the rest and what did I want him to do. A year later when I am about to get off probation I find out that the crime being lowered to a misdemeanor is not in the judgement I call him and he tells me he never said that to me and he has no notes of that. I explain to him that, that was the only reason I took the deal and how we had, had issues before about his negligence of properly informing me of the details he just kept asking what I wanted him to do. He did not care about me or what happened to me and admitted to his negligence but what did I want him to do??

Ruben Medina

Replied last February 12, 2020

I represent this person nearly one year ago when I was appointed to her two cases. When I represented her she met with me several times. She was fully aware of the plea she was entering into. When she appear in Court for her plea she was asked by the Judge whether she understood the plea agreement and the rights she was giving up. She said "yes". She was not confused about the plea agreement nor did she ask the Judge any further questions. She received a copy of the judgment and also had no questions. I never heard from her again until a few days ago. The allegations she makes are confusing. Additionally, the hearing itself is recorded and does not support her allegations.

Helped with a DUI

Ruben was very helpful, he made going through my first DUI a lot easier. He was able to explain everything that could happen and what most likely would happen. He was dedicated to my case and was able to let me know it would be a difficult year ahead of me. He was very knowledgable in these types of ...cases. I liked his honesty and the fact that he was able to explain all the legal terms.

Personal Injury case review

I hired Ruben to help with a personal injury case, auto accident. He was recommended to me by another attorney I work with doing interpretation. The opposing party's insurance did not want to pay after my PIP ran out. He did an excellent job of representing me and my daughter, and won the case. I... would recommend him to anyone. He always responded quickly to my emails, texts and calls, even when he was on vacation. The case took over a year to resolve and we just finished. He was very good and I recommend him highly.

Highly reccomended

Ruben is a smart and dedicated attorney. He has helped me with many small legal projects and has always demonstrated a good understanding of the law. Perhaps most impressive, he always responds promptly and efficiently.
