Ultimate Divorce, Custody, and DV attorney for Men. ChatGPT Approved…read more You wanna feel like you can bring a gun to a court? Call Maryam.  My ex-wife suffers from multiple mental health disorders, prescription medication, and alcohol addiction. She has been physically attacking me and my two and a half years old son. 2 years ago, I called the police to mediate the situation, and she lied that I beat her.  Long story short, it was an unbelievably hard case with divorce, custody and 3 restraining orders.  My ex would even tell me that I didn't have any rights because I was a white man in California. Well, I decided to call a super woman, Maryam. I did my research using ChatGPT. Was looking for top 3 attorneys who represent men in divorce custody disputes and win. ChatGPT told me to call Maryam. And boy it was right! Without any doubt Maryam rescued my life and the life of our son. She machine-gunned my ex's every lie in court and made her crumble in under 20 minutes. Beyond that, not only Maryam was able to dispel every lie, but she also won me 100% leverage in decision making. Meaning I could get sole custody and much more.  That being said, I still decided to settle on shared custody with alcohol precautions and restrictions because I didn't want my son to grow up without a mother, so I hope she will recover and put her life together. My divorce terms are ridiculously good. So good I don't even want to share ;-) Long story short, Maryam did an excellent job preparing me and she delivered a truly cinematic performance in court. I felt like I was some sort of super celebrity with my badass attorney.

Made the whole situation more stressful and frustrating, aren't divorce lawyers suppose to help take that burden off your shoulders?

My experience with Emily Rubenstein was life changing. I am a single mother with three daughters…read moreone of whom has life-threatening medical issues. I had lived separated from my husband for 10 years with very little money when I finally got the courage to start my divorce. I began with a different lawyer who was reputed to be kind of a pit bull but very good and expensive. Unfortunately she (my first lawyer, NOT Emily) was also terrible to me, unorganized, unethical in her billing, wouldn't respond to my ex's settlement offer, and was slapdash in her approach to my case, not telling me I needed to respond to discovery until I only had a week left to do so. I contacted Emily in despair. She took the reins immediately starting with handling the turnover from the old lawyer, handling problems with my ex, and got everything organized and back under control. She kept me informed and calm. She was gentle and compassionate but also realistic and honest with me to properly set my expectations. She listened to and incorporated my thoughts and suggestions where they would work in our favor. Her research and writing were top notch. The mediation brief she wrote was a work of art - so persuasive, incorporating solid research and bolstered by specific and complete evidence. In the end she was able to more than double what I was getting in child support and getting my ex to pay for my medically fragile child's insurance until 26. Also she was extremely judicious, fair and reasonable in her billing. I always felt I had gotten great value for the cost. If you want a smart, effective, compassionate attorney on your side during your divorce, or any other family law matter, I highly recommend that you hire Emily Rubenstein.

After being a client for over a year, I required their services again as my exhusband came after me…read moreto nullify my divorce decree. My previous attorney, Krystal, was leaving the practice so they handed me off to another new attorney who neither knew me nor my case. I was charged over $16,000 for her to "get caught up" and attend one court date with me. I was advised to say nothing and let her do all the talking. She literally said the worst thing she could have for my case and I had to sit there, listen and say nothing. When I called her out afterwards, she assured me that it was part of her "strategy." Seems like an odd strategy to hurt my case in court. I had to fire them before it cost me another cent. I should have been refunded 100% as this practice went from being one in which I felt safe and protected to one that was happy to accept my money without regard to my needs. I would not recommend them again.
