“David and his firm were very easy to work with and offered great advice while I was going through a difficult time. I would highly recommend.”

“Alyssa was great to work with. She was responsive to my request to review vs. redo my divorce settlement agreement and also provided helpful advice on refinancing my home. I will definitely recommend her to others.”

“I was very happy with Alyssa Schlafstein attorney at law at Ruben law firm. I sent in a request to have my Will redone. Alyssa contacted me. She was on maternity leave, but took care of me. Alyssa asked a lot of questions and wrote a will for me I am very satisfied with. She listened and delivered. I was not happy with my old Will or attorney. I am so glad I made the change. I highly recommend her.”

“I called asking for a consultation about how to handle an upcoming Peace Order hearing that I had and Corey guided me through understanding what can and cannot be presented as evidence as well as additional information I could use that I was unaware of. His guidance lead me to getting my peace order without much difficulty. If you are reading this Corey thank you so much!”

“It's a good feeling when you notice your attorney knows the names of and is friendly with everyone who works at the courthouse. I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional representation from David and everyone at Ruben Law. The whole team combined legal brilliance with genuine compassion, making me feel supported during a challenging time. They were always available to answer questions and address concerns. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking competent, compassionate legal representation!”

“David and Corey were exceptional in handling my family law divorce case. From start to finish, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in achieving the best outcome for me and my family. They took the time to explain every step, answered all my questions promptly, and provided expert guidance with confidence and professionalism. Beyond their legal skills, they are genuinely great people who made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend David, Corey, and the larger staff at Ruben Law to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. Thank you!!”

“I really appreciate Alyssa's guidance in helping me with my living will. Alyssa's work ethic and attention to detail are impressive. The process went smooth.”

“I cannot begin to describe how thankful I am for David and his team. When I was initially looking for a lawyer, I had a consultation with another one who recommended David because he was closer to me. Everything happens for a reason. From day 1, David has always been transparent and honest with me about expectations. Being my first go round in the court process with my ex, it was overwhelming at times. David never backed down from trying to fight for what I was asking for. His court room manner is superb and you can see the extensive experience he brings to the table. His paralegals are extremely thorough and helpful as well. It was a lengthy process but ultimately at the end of the day my son is with me primarily. I can't thank David and his team enough. I am eternally grateful! Nichole Sadler”

“Highly recommend this law firm. I retained David Ruben more than 2 decades ago and Alyssa Schlafstein more recently for different types of legal matters. Alyssa is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, up-front and focused--you DO want to work with her on legal matters! Ditto for David. Those two people are cut from the same cloth, --they take care of their clients and you can trust them. The administrative staff who fielded my calls and inquiries were very helpful and professional--the best. I truly appreciate all of you, and have no reservations recomending Ruben Law Firm. Thank you!”

“I have known David for years. He helped me navigate my divorce easily, always giving several options for next steps and letting me identify which made the most sense to me with my situation. I've recently had to get back in contact with him due to some changes in my custody/visitation arrangement. He has been more than available by phone, email, and in person. Always patient and understanding, I'd highly recommend him for anyone if they need guidance or counsel.”

“I am very thankful to have met Mr. Ruben. I was in need of legal assistance for my family situation, and he helped me through everything. Thanks for his professionalism, knowledge, and assistance. I was able to get the legal help I needed. I am forever grateful to Mr. Ruben and would highly recommend him to anyone!”

“I had a free consultation (so appreciated) with Alyssa, who clearly had expertise in her specialty. She provided me with so much helpful information- including telling me that I should talk to another lawyer who specializes in a different area. She didn’t try to sell her services (she knew I might need someone with a different focus) but answered so many questions for me - free of charge. She was also so kind, easy to talk to, and able to explain “lawyer speak” in a helpful way. I really wish I could work with her, and will reach out to her again, if it turns out my needs permit me to do so. I will recommend her to everyone I know who is looking for an attorney with her specialty. I also found her fees reasonable. And, my entire experience of reaching out to Ruben Law was positive. David Ruben responded to my online inquiry so quickly, and was also very helpful. I appreciate the kind and helpful service!”

“I had a great experience with Alyssa this morning when I was dealing with a mix-up at the hospital regarding my dad. She was not only friendly but also quick to get me the right contacts to help sort things out. If it weren’t for her making those calls, I’d probably still be stuck trying to get answers from the hospital’s mainline. Thanks, Alyssa! You truly saved me a lot of stress, and I wish you all the best!”

“I am currently working with Alyssa Schlafstein from the Ruben Law Firm to handle my mother's estate, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Alyssa demonstrates a profound understanding of estate law, which provides me with great confidence during a difficult time. What impresses me most is Alyssa's exceptional communication skills. She takes the time to explain every detail clearly, ensuring I fully understand each step of the process. Alyssa is always available to answer my questions, no matter how minor, and responds promptly to any concerns I have. Alyssa approaches everything with the utmost professionalism, making a potentially stressful situation smooth and manageable. I truly appreciate her thoughtful and thorough approach, which ensures that all aspects of my mother’s estate are being handled with care and according to our wishes. I highly recommend Alyssa Schlafstein to anyone in need of an estate attorney. She provides not only expert legal advice but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing your affairs are being handled with care and precision.”

“I worked with David Ruben on a prenuptial agreement for my upcoming marriage. David was not only prompt in getting in touch with me following my inquiry, but he also explained everything in a way that I understood and cut through a lot of the legal jargon. He was knowledgeable, offered great suggestions and was extremely easy to work with. I would highly recommend David for his services as an attorney and plan to use him for any future legal work that I may need.”

“I received punctual, courteous and thorough legal assistance from Ms. Schlafstein and her staff in regard to my mother's estate planning needs. She explained everything really well and was happy to answer the questions we had to make sure we had full understanding. We would recommend this firm.”

“Best law firm in the state of Maryland! Very professional staff and super competent and highly qualified team of lawyers! Special shoutout to Gayle. She is amazing! She made my day today!”

“David Ruben handled my divorce approx 20 years ago and I was in need of a copy of the final decree . (I misplaced it) I contacted his office via a live online chat and the rep forwarded my question to his office. I was not expecting anyone to answer, but to my surprise, David himself answered me, very promptly! I tried to contact the civil court, with no success and asked David if he had any suggestions.... he offered to pick up a copy for me while at the courthouse and mail it to me! WOOOOHOOOO! wow! 20 years later, great service! thanks David Ruben!!!! UPDATE! , one month later, turns out I needed another paper, and once again, David Ruben stepped up! Cant say enough good things about the communication and service I received! Once again, thank you David!!!!!”

“I workd with David in my capacity as a church mentor for a domestic violence survivor who was dealing with a visitation issue. David was right on point. He made sure he had the critical information to advocate effectively. David asked the tough questions in a kind way and was also extremely responsive to emails. He was supportive of his client and her teenage daughter during this difficult time. Thanks to David, our church member had a successful outcome to her situation.”

“David Ruben has provided me with exceptional service during the most challenging time in my life. His professionalism throughout the entire process helped me feel reassured that I was in good hands from start to finish! He always took the time to answer any of my questions. I would definitely recommend David’s services to anyone seeking legal representation in family law.”

“I can't thank David and Corey enough for all their help through a very difficult and stressful time in my life. I can only say, I wish I have contacted the Ruben Law Firm sooner into the process. They made this whole process so much more bearable through their patient, honesty, and open communication. Corey stayed on top of my case and provided constant updates, and was available when I have questions or concerns. I could not have asked for better counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend my friends or family to the Ruben Law Firm. Thank you David and Corey again for all your help!”

“Very respectful and responsive team! Great results too!”

“This Law firm is great even being a little behind on payment. This law firm took the necessary steps to put me first & I am forever grateful. Ms. Gayle was also like a counselor for me and had my back. Love you guys”

“Had a fabulous consult call with firm. Provided excellent advice and recommendations for a very difficult situation. Totally agree with other reviews. Wish i would have gone with them during the initial legal process. Thanks. Highly recommend!”

“Mr. Ruben and his team guided me through the divorce process with wisdom and professionalism. They knew exactly what needed to be done, and how to negotiate a favorable settlement for me. You can't beat their knowledge and experience.. You want these guys on your side!”

“Corey thank you for everything, your patience and honesty helped me with my situation. If ever needed again I would differently call you. I will also recommend you and your firm to my family and friends. Thank again Deborah”

“If I could give Ruben Law Firm 6 stars, I would! I have never met a more professional group of attorneys. There services were amazing! Corey Ruben was prompt, efficient and he communicated well throughout the process; day, evening and sometimes the middle of the night. Dedicated professionals are a rare trait these days and the Ruben Law Firm is the epitome of those traits! Thanks for everything!!”

“Initially my charges were extremely serious. I explained my stand point & situation & not once did anyone doubt my innocence even though initial evidence very well did not play in my favor. I explained to the firm how I did not want something this huge to take a toll on my future. BUT this law firm assured me of my freedom & my security from the very start. I also want to mention their very kind and hard working staff I always got in touch with. Never hard to reach and Ms. Gale was entirely too sweet with communication effortlessly and efficiently she ensured my payment plan was adjusted with any hiccup that arose along the bumpy road. Within trusting them with my case we went to court ONE time after rescheduling & it wasn’t even a year at that point before my charges got dropped at my first hearing & “PBJ”. Even with a very hard to reason with Judge I left the court room a free woman with one ticket that held a $100 fine & NO points on my license. Initially I believe I had 5-7 tickets to fight including one again that held a consequence of time in jail. It felt unreal that I was facing actual jail time but my representation of this firm Mr. Corey Ruben and his team went to extensive lengths to ensure they treated me just as they would their family. They provided me with everything I needed to know and answered any questions I may have had no question was ever too large or small to ask when it came to them. With knowing my rights and what I am entitled to I was able to put this serious case from the front of my mind into thin air & I couldn’t have done it without the help of Ruben Law firm. I am forever indebted to the hard-work that was dedicated and played out in my favor. I don’t think any other firm would have carried me this way. Thank you so much!”

“I was one of startup clients for Attorney David Rubin when I suddenly needed him to represent in the court on a single day notice and there, he was representing me right in time can never forget that to this day after 6 years. I had David Rubins cell phone and would call him for a quick response whenever needed. He was always available for me. Can talk hours for him but do not leave a chance if he is accepting your case you will never regret him having your attorney.”

“I can't recommend Attorney Corey highly enough! He's professional, non-judgmental, and makes navigating the legal system much less stressful. His approach is both comforting and supportive, and he takes the time to explain things clearly so you never feel left in the dark. Whether you're knowledgeable about legal matters or find them daunting, Corey is the one to turn to. He doesn't just deliver results, he makes the journey there less intimidating. Truly exceptional service!”

“Mr. Ruben is the attorney you want on your side! He was able to obtain the desired result for my case. I want to highlight that he is not afraid of going to trial if needed, unlike a lot of other attorneys out there who would crumble on you in the last moments - forcing you to compromise! He reviewed my case and was quite frank about possible outcomes and strategized with me; which provided me a sense of calm and confidence heading into the courtroom. I would 100% retain him again for any future legal issues I may have.”

“David Ruben is my savior; very professional, straight forward; works very hard for me in my legal matters. No other lawyer I would rather have, under any circumstance!”

“David is very good attorney and he always fights for our goals and doesn’t compromise with Opposing Counsel and works towards our best interests. He is very honest, open. easy to reach and very good in responding back. I definitely recommend David and his law firm Ruben Law firm. They are very professional.”

“Rueben has been an incredible lawyer. He has helped a ton throughout my child custody concerns and his biggest strong point is his responsiveness. It was always a stress relief to see when a concern would happen and I would send an email off he would respond within a day and sometimes within the hour.”
