David Rubin Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Carlsbad

Former Prosecutor and Experienced Trial Attorney Working for You. As a sole practitioner and small business owner, I make myself available to my clients when they need me.  When you hire me as your attorney you’ll be able to communicate with me by phone, email and text so that you’ll never be left guessing what’s happening with your case.. All my personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis – so you don’t pay me (costs or fees) unless and until I get you money.  Criminal cases are a flat fee, which you’ll know before signing up.. What to expect at your free consultation:. Bring whatever paperwork you have from your case and come with a list of questions.  I’ll do a lot of listening for the first part of the meeting – and will have some questions of my own for you.  We’ll take as much time as we need – and you’ll never be charged for the time we spend at that initial meeting.. The consultation is my chance to get to know your case, and your chance to get to know me.  It’s important for you to feel comfortable with me as your attorney – we’re going to be discussing personal details of your life  - and it takes time to build that kind of relationship.  While it’s true that cases are better the earlier you get an attorney involved, I will never pressure you into signing a contract and will give you the time you need to make this important decision.. At the end of our consultation you will walk away knowing more about the legal issues in your case, with an understanding of what next steps to take and a plan on how to get the best outcome for your case.. If somebody has to keep telling you how good they are, its probably a sign that they’re not.. Maybe there’s a case that’s made better by chest pounding and bluster – but I haven’t seen it yet.  The bark of the self-appointed “pitbull” attorney always seems to quiet down when they’re faced with sound legal arguments.  The idea is simple – at some point in every case you’re going to ask the other side for something – whether it’s money in an injury case or a charge reduction for a criminal defendant.  It’s a lot easier to get them to give you what you want if they like you.  That doesn’t mean I won’t got to the mat for you – it just means that when I find the argument that’s going to win your case, the other side is not going to know about it until its too late.
