Had an appointment with the lawyer, but he was running behind, so I met with a paralegal. She was pretty cold and condescending and nasty when I asked her questions and didn't really quite understand what was being said.
You kinda get the impression you're just another of a long line of potential clients and they don't care if they get your business or not.
They said I had to do Chapter 13 and needed the $1800 up front before they could even estimate what my payment would be.
The retainer agreement she tossed at me was thrown away as soon as I got home and I found a better solution immediately.
Would not recommend.

Both professional and fast. I recommend David Ruben. His staff is also amazing.

Though I will be checking this place out and then I will update this post... ;)

I can tell you from first hand experience that Mr. Ruben and all of his associates are the cream of the crop. Everyone there has always treated me with kindness, respect and never once did I feel less than special. I have recommended Mr. Ruben and his firm to so many people I've lost count, and will continue to do so. I think this is one of the most intelligent and thorough Law Firms in Maryland. I count Mr. Ruben and Lindsay Darnes, (Bankruptcy Case Manager) as two of the finest people God has ever put in my path. If you want a Lawyer who is trustworthy, understanding, has integrity and is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of law, then call, The Law Offices of David L. Ruben. He really is the best.

I wouldn't recommend this place. They are fast talking and seems like they are always in a rush and rush you off the phone or the office. They just want your money and take on tons of cases. I ended up going else where and worked with another attorney.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge how amazing your staff has been to help me through this extremely frustrating and difficult time in my life.
I had previously filed with your office and knew that you could help this time, after finalizing a divorce. I knew coming back to your office was the right thing to do, and I was not disappointed. Additionally, i know that your job is very difficult, giving people facts and assisting them in accepting the reality of their curcumstances, takes a very special skillset.
I know that I went through a lot of raw emotions while filling out the paperwork and having to face the fact that my ex husband will get away with taking advantage of me. Your staff listened to me, guided me and were extremely patient and kind.
Although things are not always fair in life, your team has been extremely professional, supportive, informative and willing to give me time to clearly understand next steps. I, again, just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge their hard work. I am confident that should i have the opportunity to refer someone, it would be without hesitation.
Sincerely, Deborah

I could not ask for a better, more caring attorney. I've had bad experiences with attorneys in the past, so I was apprehensive, especially due to the nature of this case. As soon as I walked into the office and met with Mr. Ruben, I knew he was the man to get the job done. All through my case, he was personable, available, sincere, empathetic and considerate. He was able to make me laugh when situations became chaotic and intense. Mr. Ruben heard what I had to say and worked diligently to get the job done. At one point during the case, he worked the entire weekend prepping for the case to ensure that all bases were covered. The day of the case, I was extremely stressed, nervous and scared, but Mr. Ruben was phenomenal in getting me through my testimony and blowing holes through cross examination of the opposing party. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Ruben and highly recommend his services.

David Ruben and his staff were great to deal with throughout my legal situation. Although the process is scary and intimidating I always felt comfortable with his guidance and it made it much easier than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Ruben for not only bankruptcy assistance but divorce representation as well.

We hired David Ruben to help us deal with a tough situation....and that was the best decision we made. David and his staff explained everything clearly to us so we understood the process every step of the way. They were 100% responsive and reliable, and they made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend using David and the Maryland Bankruptcy Center -- if you are looking for a firm to help you out.

I am extremely impressed with Mr. Ruben and his entire staff. The professionalism, attention to detail, and thorough knowledge shown was a great comfort in my time of need ans distress. Mr. Ruben treated me with kindness and understanding and was quick to answer telephone calls, e-mails, etc. There are many attorneys that only see dollar signs when taking on a case. Mr. Ruben is an exception to this rule and truly understands the need for great representation without charging a king's ransom. He bills you for his work and does not pad his invoices with unnecessary charges. My only regret is that I did not meet this gentleman years ago. He has truly restored my faith in law professionals. I will be sure to keep him on speed dial should I ever require his services again. Thanks again to David and his staff!!
