I am so thankful Michael Rubas worked tirelessly to get my DUI case dismissed. He is an incredibly understanding and personable individual who helps you navigate the case without feeling overwhelmed by the legalities. Mr. Rubas went above and beyond to ensure the issue was handled correctly, which led to the court's dismissal of my case.
