Highly recommend to anybody in need of DUI/OVI representation

Mr. Rubin was incredibly helpful and easy to work with, always available when needed even going out of his way to personally help with any questions or problems. Would highly recommend to anybody in need of a lawyer that takes their job and responsibilities very seriously, with a history of excellent... representation.

10/10

I hired Mr. Rubin to represent me in a DUI case. He was extremely professional and knowledgable as well as easy to get a hold of whenever I had any questions. He really took the time to make sure that I understood all of my options throughout the case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who i...s looking for representation.

Outstanding Advocate

Me Rubin was extremely knowledgeable and professional. Mine was a case involving multiple OVIs but he was able to secure a minimum sentencing recommendation from the prosecutor due to his tireless work on my behalf. Mr Rubin was able to effectively communicate the circumstances of my case to the city... attorney which has allowed me to move through this very difficult time in my life and go in a positive direction. I cannot more highly recommend Mr Rubin. Thank you for taking the time to read this review..... P.S. his fees were very reasonable and he earned every penny.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Rubin made himself available to my case at all times, he returned phone calls promptly and was very informative of what to expect. He is reasonably priced and highly recommended.

"Attorney Rubin knows criminal law extremely well. If you read any of his dozens and dozens of answers to consumer questions here on Avvo or his praise from fellow attorneys, you quickly realize that he has a great reputation as an attorney who thoroughly knows and understands both Criminal Law and other areas of the law and cares deeply about making sure his clients understand their rights and obligations. If his office is anywhere near you and you have a legal problem, then he's your answer and I recommend him to you."

"Attorney Rubin exemplifies the very best attributes of an active attorney and a level of professionalism, confidence and skill we should all aspire to. Honesty, dedication and a love of the law, which means. giving back to others who lack our understanding of the law and a benefit from our inherent desire to provide solutions to problems. The thousands years of combined legal experience of professionals activity participating in this forum represent some of the very best of our profession, which is after all, at its base is desire to help those in need. This Attorney’s experience and knowledge, I believe, demonstrates that there is a desire to provide accurate advice and obtain appropriate results for clients. Most importantly, this Attorney is willing to help complete strangers (as is the case in this forum) with their legal problems for which we collectively provide useful information, thereby demystifying the legal process as much as possible. I would recommend this Attorney"
