Why Choose Rubin Law

Why Los Angeles Trusts Rubin Law, P.C.

When your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line, the attorney you choose matters more than anything else. Rubin Law, P.C. is trusted by clients throughout Los Angeles County because we combine daily courtroom presence with aggressive, strategic defense — never shortcuts, never cookie-cutter approaches.

  1. Los Angeles Courtroom Experience

    We appear regularly in courthouses across Los Angeles County — including Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, Van Nuys, Airport, Metropolitan, Compton, and Inglewood. Knowing how specific judges and prosecutors operate lets us anticipate strategies, spot weaknesses, and act fast when opportunities arise.

  2. Search and Seizure Challenges

    Many criminal cases rise or fall on whether police followed the Constitution. We aggressively file PC 1538.5 motions to challenge illegal traffic stops, unlawful searches, defective warrants, and improper arrests. When law enforcement cuts corners, we move to suppress evidence — often leading to reduced charges or full dismissal.

  3. Diversion and Alternative Sentencing

    Not every case needs to end in a conviction. Where appropriate, we position clients for PC 1000 diversion, Proposition 36, Mental Health Diversion under PC 1001.36, and Veterans Court. These programs can replace incarceration with treatment — and in many cases, lead to a complete dismissal of all charges.

  4. Serious Trial Preparation

    Prosecutors know which defense firms are willing to go to trial — and which will take any plea deal offered. We prepare every case as if it is headed to a jury, giving us real leverage in negotiations. If the case cannot be resolved on fair terms, we are fully prepared to fight for an acquittal in court.

If You've Been Arrested

Arrested in Los Angeles? What You Do Next Matters.

The moments after an arrest are critical. What you say — and who you speak to — can determine whether your case ends in jail time, dismissal, or reduced charges. At Rubin Law, P.C., we move quickly to protect your rights and take control of the situation before the prosecution builds its case.

  1. Do Not Speak to Police Without a Lawyer

    Law enforcement is trained to gather evidence — not protect you. Anything you say can and will be used against you, even if you believe you are helping your case. Invoke your right to remain silent immediately and ask for an attorney. Say nothing else.

  2. Immediate Evidence Review

    As soon as we are retained, we begin reviewing body-cam footage, police reports, lab results, search warrants, and arrest procedures. We look for errors, inconsistencies, and constitutional violations that can change the outcome of your case.

  3. Suppression & Diversion Opportunities

    Many cases fall apart when evidence is challenged properly. Illegal stops, unlawful searches, and defective warrants can lead to evidence being suppressed under PC 1538.5. Where appropriate, we also position clients for diversion programs that avoid jail and can lead to full dismissal.

  4. Charges Reduced, Dismissed, or Fought at Trial

    Our goal is always the best possible outcome — whether that means dismissal, reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or a full jury trial. We prepare every case with leverage and are fully ready to fight if that is what it takes.

Arrested or under investigation? Speak with a defense attorney before you speak with anyone else.
