Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice leverages former prosecutorial insight to protect clients facing charges ranging from DUI to violent crimes. With direct attorney access 24/7, we develop tailored defense strategies focused on charge reduction or dismissal through evidence suppression, witness challenges, and courtroom advocacy. Our flat-fee structure ensures cost certainty while maintaining aggressive representation throughout all legal proceedings.
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured by negligence in car accidents, dog bites, and slip-and-fall incidents. Operating on contingency, we handle insurance negotiations and litigation to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain suffering. Our approach combines thorough evidence collection with strategic settlement negotiations to maximize client recovery without upfront costs.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI defense includes challenging chemical test accuracy, contesting traffic stop legality, and DMV hearing representation. As a former prosecutor, we employ insider knowledge to negotiate reduced charges or alternative sentencing while maintaining driving privileges through strategic legal arguments and evidentiary challenges.
Car Accident Claims
We handle car accident cases involving distracted driving, impaired operation, and other negligent behaviors. Our process includes accident reconstruction analysis, medical bill negotiation, and comprehensive damage calculation to pursue full compensation for vehicle damage, medical treatment, and lost income through settlements or trial litigation.
Dog Bite Cases
Representing dog bite victims involves establishing property owner liability and insurance coverage analysis. We pursue compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma through homeowners' insurance claims or civil litigation, focusing on long-term recovery needs while handling all legal complexities directly.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?
Contact Rubin Law Office immediately. Avoid speaking to police without legal representation. We'll help challenge evidence, navigate DMV hearings, and develop defense strategies to protect your driving privileges and minimize penalties.
How are personal injury cases evaluated?
We assess medical documentation, accident reports, and liability evidence during free consultations. Key factors include negligence proof, injury severity, and insurance coverage to determine case value and appropriate legal strategy.
Can I afford legal representation?
Our personal injury cases work on contingency - no payment until we win. Criminal defense uses transparent flat fees. Free initial consultations ensure cost clarity before any commitment.
What differentiates Rubin Law Office from other firms?
Direct attorney access 24/7, former prosecutorial experience informing defense strategies, and personalized case management combine with proven success in both negotiated settlements and courtroom trials across San Diego County.
How long do I have to file a claim?
California's statute of limitations requires personal injury claims within 2 years of injury, government entity cases within 6 months. Criminal charges require immediate legal intervention to preserve defense opportunities.
What if the insurance company offers a quick settlement?
Avoid accepting initial offers without legal review. These often undervalue long-term medical needs. We negotiate fair compensation covering all current and future damages related to your injury or accident.
