Complaint Review: Aaron Dubin Frankel Rubin Bond Dubin Siegel & Klein P.C. - St. Louis Missouri

While most everyone complains of attorneys in a divorce setting, even the attorneys who dealt with Aaron S. Dubin were shocked by the incompetence, greed, malice, averice, lying, deceitful, criminal behaviour acted out by Dubin during the course of my divorce proceeding. Criminal charges have been filed with local police against him for attempting to defraud the court in an attempt to steal more than $6,000 of money that was not his; charges are being prepared to have this criminal disbarred from the legal profession in Missouri.



Here is a mere sampling of what this disgusting "professional" did during the course of my divorce proceedings-- and he was attorney for my ex, who fired him when HER new attorney went so far as to label his conduct as unethical and very likely criminal. In this case, EVEN HER attorney urged her to file a bar complaint, with the expectation of receiving a substantial return of the funds this man had stolen from her. But that is her story, here is mine.

This low-life filed NO LESS than a DOZEN "contempt of court" charges against me, each and every one of which was either never heard or dismissed immediately by the judge at a hearing... it was all done to generate excessive legal fees.

Aaron Dubin attempted to STEAL more than $6,000 from the proceeds of the sale of my home by torously interfering with the sale on the day prior to the closing-- I was forced to escrow more than $150,000 because he was attempting to steal $6,000 he claimed he was owed. It took me more than 16 months to get my money back, and I sued him in court to obtain the release of my money. Judge John Essneer heard my case in St. Louis County Circuit Court and awarded me ALL of the money that Dubin claimed he was owed AND Judge Essner forced Dubin to pay MY LAWYER for the costs and efforts to recover my money.

So why do I claim him to be a criminal? The way he tried to steal money was by using an Order of the Court that had been OVERRULED in the final decree and he carried the overturned order to the garnishment clerk, trying to obtain $6,000 from the sale of my house. In Court, the Chief Counsel for St. Louis County Circuit Court advised the Judge that had she been advised of the actual, final ruling, she would have NEVER allowed Dubin to file a garnishment to try to obtain the money.

At trial, Aaron Dubin made further claims, which are contained in a certified Court Transcript and are to be used in various legal proceedings against him, that he made a SECRET DEAL with my former attorney to PAY HIM LEGAL FEES AND COSTS that the Judge had RULED THAT WERE NOT TO BE PAID TO HIM. These statements were made UNDER OATH in the trial held on this matter and are clearly not true.

Among the additional illegal activities conducted by Aaron Dubin was a garnishment he placed on my bank account, which when overturned by the Court, he STILL REFUSED to submit the proper legal papers to have the garnishment expunged. The result of this illegal behaviour was that I had to go to the US TAX COURT to have the legal fees properly resolved because DUBIN REFUSED TO COMPLY with Missouri statutes that required him to make the proper filings. I am awaiting a final ruling, in my favor, from the Tax Court on this matter, having brought the case in March 2006 to a successful conclusion. Among the members of the legal team working with me on that matter, every single one advised me to file Bar Complaints and criminal charges with the St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney's Office. ALL OF THEM-- every single lawyer.

My advice-- avoid this person at all costs, watch for disbarment proceedings against him with the Missouri Supreme Court, which is responsible for hearing such matters. Mr. Dubin also claimed, UNDER OATH, that he is the Custodian of Record with the law firm of Frankel, Rubin, Bond, Dubin, Siegel & Klein, P.C which suggests that this entire law firm is suspect and should be watched very, very closely in any legal proceeding, particularly in the area of legal fees or expenses.

Good luck and be VERY CAUTIOUS in any dealings with Aaron Dubin or the law firm of Frankel, Rubin, Bond, Dubin, Siegel & Klein, P.C
