Rubin has been a galvanizing force in shaping the consumer law movement and we applaud his efforts on behalf of low-income consumers. We share with you comments from some of his colleagues who nominated him:

 “As all of you know he has been the national leader in his field of FDCPA, and has, from the limited amount I’ve observed, been one of the most active of all consumer attorneys…”
--Henry J. Sommer (former Countryman Award Winner)

 “His principled dedication to the rights of those in our society most in need has earned him the respect of clients, colleagues, jurists and this writer.” 
--John B. Hiatt

 “His work on behalf of consumers has been exemplary.  He is regarded as one of the foremost practitioners in the field of consumer advocacy… His leadership in the founding and development of this organization [NACA] is yet another example of his successful efforts in the area of consumer advocacy.”   --O. Randolph Bragg

 “Not only is Dick perhaps one of the most knowledgeable consumer protection practitioners, he freely and enthusiastically shares his wealth of knowledge with other consumer practitioners.” 
--James B. Fishman

 “Rubin’s selfless spirit is outshined only by his acute sense of loyalty.  He is a leader consistently rallying his troops to fight on behalf of those who cannot.”
--Mitchell D. Gliner

 “This  person is a positive, contributing, important player in so many crucial consumer issues.  In what is essentially an all-out war declared by Corporate America against the interests of millions of vulnerable consumers … Dick is a battlefield commander ready and able to fight every engagement with skill, daring and courage.” 
--William J. Brennan Jr.  

 Congratulations!
