I have spent my legal career defending the little guy against big corporations. Everyday we help regular people fight the mortgage companies, insurance companies and the big auto companies. Without proper representation, citizens do not stand a chance against these large corporations. While taking on these cases is surely challenging the reward of helping those truly in need is unmatched.

Ben Hall has dedicated his life to service—first to his country, then to his community, and now to his clients. He served five years in the United States Marine Corps, including a combat tour in Iraq. Remarkably, while working full-time as a police officer, Ben pursued his law degree, distinguishing himself through internships with the Michigan House of Representatives, the Governor’s Office, a state circuit court judge, and two federal judges on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. After graduating cum laude from Michigan State University College of Law in 2019, Ben joined the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office. There, he prosecuted cases ranging from misdemeanors to multimillion-dollar fraud and complex criminal sexual conduct matters. This experience sharpened his ability to analyze cases from the inside and identify weaknesses in the state’s arguments. When Ben entered private practice, he immediately put this background to work for his clients. By leveraging his unique perspective as both a former prosecutor and nearly a decade as a police officer, he has secured favorable results—including multiple dismissals—for clients who once faced years of incarceration or lifelong criminal records. His reputation for exposing flaws in the prosecution’s case has allowed many clients to leave court with their freedom intact. Ben’s story has reached beyond the courtroom. He has been featured in both local and national media for his insight into Michigan’s child protective services policies and for his reflections as a veteran on 9/11. His extraordinary act of compassion as a police officer toward a struggling young mother brought him national attention, with appearances on The Real, Fox and Friends, CNN, NBC Nightly News, HLN, and more. In recognition of his impact, he was named one of CNN’s Extraordinary People of 2014. Outside the courtroom, Ben is deeply committed to his family and community. He volunteers as a coach for his son’s football team and actively supports programs such as 4H, youth sports, and Odyssey of the Mind. He also officiates high school and college football and basketball, and in his “spare time” is training toward his private pilot’s license. Ben holds a bachelor’s degree from Park University (2007), a master’s degree from Central Michigan University (2015), and a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Michigan State University College of Law (2019). He is admitted to practice law in all courts in the State of Michigan and the eastern and western federal district courts.

My name is Bob Rubin. I have represented individuals involved in automobile accidents for over 40 years. This is how my clients describe their experience with my office: “I have highly recommended Mr. Rubin to other people and will continue to do so. There is no other attorney I would call, and in fact, I still call him today for advice because Mr. Rubin will go out of his way to help.” “Mr. Rubin explained the no-fault law so well to me that I felt I could teach it to someone else.” “He was always prompt in returning calls, answered all my questions and kept me updated as to what was going on.” When you call my office, I am the attorney you will speak to; you will not be transferred to an associate. I will personally explain your rights to you under the Michigan No-Fault Law. There are a number of potential claims that you may pursue following an automobile accident. Under the Michigan No-Fault Law, your automobile insurance company or another insurance company may be responsible to pay a number of very important benefits. These include medical expenses, lost wages, mileage reimbursement, household help expenses, attendant care, and other allowable expenses as a result of your accident. To receive these benefits, it is necessary that the proper automobile insurance company be placed on notice of the claim in a timely fashion. Time limits under the No-Fault Law can be short, and it is a very good idea for you to obtain appropriate legal assistance so that all of your rights might be fully explained and protected as soon as possible. Certainly, insurance companies use their resources to quickly investigate accidents and take steps which may limit your right to receive certain benefits. This is why proper legal representation is so important. In addition to these no-fault benefits, you may seek compensation from the at fault driver or owner involved in the accident for pain, suffering, and other injury and damage suffered as a result of the accident. I would be pleased to meet with you at any mutually convenient time and place, without charge, to discuss your rights and potential claim(s). The meeting is free. The advice may prove priceless in safeguarding your rights. I handle automobile accident cases on a contingent fee basis. This means if there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. If I do recover money on your behalf, my attorney fee is one-third (1/3) of the amount recovered.
