About Rubin Guttman

Rubin Guttman, based in Cleveland, Ohio, is a committed advocate for the injured and disabled. As the first in his immigrant family to attend college and law school, Rubin relocated from Brooklyn, New York, drawn by Cleveland's diverse and hard-working community. His family history, marked by the threats faced by his father and grandfather under Nazi Germany, inspired him to champion the rights of the 'little guy' against government and corporate injustices.

At Rubin Guttman and Associates, Rubin specializes in representing clients in personal injury, medical negligence, trucking, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, as well as wrongful death claims. His personal passion for cycling, riding over 100 miles weekly on Cleveland streets, gives him a unique perspective on the dangers faced by cyclists, making these cases particularly personal to him.

Rubin's dedication extends beyond the courtroom. He has contributed to building several schools and educational institutions in the Cleveland area, reflecting his commitment to giving back to the community. Despite the demanding nature of trial law, which often requires working nights and weekends, Rubin is unwavering in his pursuit of justice for his clients.

Supported by his wife, Eileen, and their three grown children, Rubin finds fulfillment in his role as an equalizer, striving to secure justice for those who might otherwise be overlooked.
