Melvin Rube

2660 W Shaw Ave #100 , Fresno , California 93711
Practice Areas: Estate Planning, Litigation, Probate
I was born and raised in Fresno, California and have lived in Fresno all of my life except for a two year period (1970-1972) when I lived in Goleta, California attending the University of California at Santa Barbara. I am the grandson of immigrants.  My paternal and maternal grandparents are Volga- Deutsch (Germans from Russia) having immigrated to the United States from the Volga Region of Russia just prior to the Russian Revolution. I am married and have two daughters, two step-sons, one grandchild and two step-grandchildren.  My hobbies include beginning  photography, walking, reading (legal and political thrillers, history, biographies) and legal career has been quite varied.  Upon my admission to the State Bar of California in November of 1978, I opened a private practice.  I then joined the Fresno County Public Defenders' Office in late 1979 where I was a defense attorney until late 1988.  In 1985, the Calfornia State Bar certified me as as a Criminal Law Specialist.  While at the public defenders' office I tried over 50 jury  trials and represented defendants in cases ranging from petty theft to the death 1989, I joined the Fresno Office of a state wide law firm now known as Ericksen, Arbuthnot where I was  the Assistant Managing Partner of the Fresno Office from 1989 to 1994 and  the Managing Partner of the Fresno Office from 1994 to 1996.  During that period of time I practiced civil law and represented defendants in product liability cases, medical mal-practice cases and wrongful death and catastropic personal injury cases. I started my solo private practice in 1997 and currently limit my practice to estate planning (drafting wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, first party and third party special needs trusts, durable powers of attorney and health care directives); probate; trust administration; and trust and estate litigation representing the fiduciary (executor or administrator of a probate estate or trustee of a trust) and the benefriciary of a probate estate or of a trust. I am a member of the State Bar of California and its Wills and Trusts Section; a member of the Fresno County Bar Association and its Probate Section; a member of the Fresno Estate Planning Council; a member of the American Bar Association; and the Fresno County Better Business Bureau.  I was a past  member of Kiwanis (1995 to 2001 and then again from 2004 to 2009) and the President of a local Kiwanis Club from 1997 to 1998 where I was awarded the Distingusihed Service Award for the year 1998 to 1999.  I was a member of the Board of Directors for Lutheran Social Services for Northern California from 1995 to 2000 and on the Board of Directors for the Fresno Branch of the American Diabetes Association during the latter part of the 1990's.  I have been practicing law for 37 years and have no current plans to retire.

Michael Gaddis

Firm: The Law Offices of Michael Gaddis, APC
6104 Innovation Way , Carlsbad , California 92009
Practice Areas: Estate Planning
The Law Offices of Michael Gaddis, APC is a law firm dedicated to helping distressed homeowners save their homes.  Helping distressed homeowners was a natural progression for Michael Gaddis who is also a California NMLS licensed mortgage broker.  In 2008 Michael Gaddis was busy assisting homeowners to refinance out of 2 and 3 year adjustable loans into 30 year fixed interest rate loans when lenders stopped stated income financing and 100% LTV financing.  Since Michael Gaddis understood the ramifications of the inability for these homeowners to refinance out of interest rates that were adjusting from 6 & 7% "teaser rates" to 8 to 10% adjustable rates Michael Gaddis began to approach the legal departments of the various lenders in an attempt to find a resolution for these homeowners.  Michael Gaddis has been helping homeowners ever since and now has successfully modified well over 1,500 home loans.  What makes Michael Gaddis so unique is his amicable relationships with most lenders.  These lenders respect Michael Gaddis' knowledge and ability to speak to them in their own "language", the language of underwriting and finance.  Michael Gaddis' philosophy is simple, learn the policies, procedures and underwriting guidelines of every lender and then hold them to their own rules.  Michael Gaddis is very proud of his accomplishments and posts many of his loan modifications in his "trophy case" on his website.  Michael Gaddis also negotiates short sales and settlements on delinquent junior liens.
