About

With a background in social work and 17 years of litigation experience, Jennifer B. Ruben, is passionate about working alongside individuals who are going through a difficult, pivotal time in their lives and guiding them through the legal system with dignity and respect.    A seasoned litigator, Ms. Ruben began her legal career as an assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York, prosecuting some of the most violent, complex, high-publicity Domestic Violence and Sex Crimes cases in New York City.  Because of her background in social work, her approach to litigation has always been to truly connect and understand the victim’s point of view, and then vigorously advocate for them in Court.  During her seven years as a Brooklyn prosecutor, Ms. Ruben only lost one trial, and became known within the office for winning “unwinnable” cases.    Upon moving to Arizona in 2010, Ms. Ruben worked for a non-profit, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, to deliver legal services to Indian tribes.  A year later, Ms. Ruben was hired by the Yavapai-Apache Nation, where she served as the Chief Prosecutor for over six years.    Ms. Ruben began her career in the court system as a Victim Advocate in Columbus, Ohio, where she supported victims of stalking as they navigated the criminal justice system.    She earned her undergraduate degree in Social Welfare from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, and her law degree from Georgetown University, in Washington, D.C.   Ms. Ruben was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. An avid outdoor enthusiast, Ms. Ruben worked as a backpacking and canoeing guide during college, and has backpacked in almost all 50 states, including Alaska. Ms. Ruben also loves international travel and has lived in West and Central Africa for years and spent significant time in the Middle East.  Ms. Ruben speaks several languages.

Jennifer and her Team, including Melissa, were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are warm, friendly, non-judgmental, professional, and courteous. They made amehat could have been a very acrimonious divorce fair and equitable for both parties. I will highly recommend Glazer Hammond to friends and family.

Jennifer Ruben was an absolute pleasure to work with, she managed to make a difficult situation much easier to deal with. Jennifer was so supportive and very fair the advice she gave. The most impressive thing about Jennifer is that she brings a "human" touch and was empathetic during a very stressful time. I highly recommend Jennifer and her team!

I alm still going through a divorce, and it has been a very complicated case. Jennifer and Melissa have been compassionate, informative, professional, responsive to my needs and questions, and very knowledgeable of the law. They are ethical and up front about how I can best participate too. I often feel like I am the only case they are working on, fully aware of numerous other clients they are serving. I always feel heard and recognized in my concerns. I have no doubt my case will end in justice and fairness due to their counsel and service.

It is not common that I write reviews. That said, my experience with Jennifer Reuben and her team at Glazer Hammond was exceptional and one that I am grateful for. The compassion, guidance, wisdom, knowledge, hard work, and communication were impeccable. The quality of her services enabled me to move through this difficult time with expediency and ease. I interviewed over 10 attorneys throughout the Flagstaff/Sedona area and Jennifer Reuben was the last I interviewed. It didn't take long to make the decision to choose her, her understanding of the process and her guidance through it gave me a Judge's signature in 4 months from the date I decided to work with her. While I can't promise you that your divorce will be this fast, I can promise that her integrity is remarkable. While going through a divorce is difficult most of the time, and if I ever need another one (I hope I never do!), my first choice would be to contact Jennifer Reuben.

I hired Jennifer Ruben to represent me in court regarding the parenting plan during my divorce. She was extremely helpful in the process. She listened to all my needs and concerns and was very caring and respectful to me. She also called my husband and spoke with him in a caring, helpful way. Jenn showed attention to the details of our situation and that made all the difference in our ability to come to an agreement. We are on track for a positive parenting experience post-divorce due to the steady, diligent support of Jennifer Ruben!

I had the opportunity to be represented by Jennifer Ruben during my divorce process, this review is for her. Divorce is difficult and hurtful enough but add in a significant history of domestic violence and it can feel like you are in a battle for your life and for your sanity. Jenn is the only attorney I would turn to if you need help navigating your way out of an abusive marriage. From the first moment I met Jenn at her office, she was jumping into action to secure mine and my son's safety. She was by my side through every twist and turn, and every curveball that got thrown my way. She quickly gained my full and complete trust. She prepared me for all the hurdles and chaos with professionalism and the kind of level-headedness needed for dealing with the intense and traumatic moments that sprinkled my case. Multiple times Jenn was able to make split-second decisions that proved paramount to the outcome of many court rulings in my favor. Because of her background prosecuting domestic violence cases, she was compassionate, understanding, and empathetic of my situation and very mindful of my emotional well being. She had insights and knowledge that were very specific for handling my case and because of this I feel that I achieved the outcome I wanted for my divorce. She is an incredible attorney and I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be represented by her. She is the kindest and warmest soul you will ever meet, but she is fierce and unstoppable in the courtroom. She will be by your side fighting for you when you feel like you aren't strong enough to fight for yourself. Thank you to Jenn, Melissa, Jake, and all of the Glazer Hammond attorneys, paralegals and staff that helped with my case. Andiamo and paperclips.

Jennifer was professional and wonderful from day 1. I was in such a tough bind, any other firm that I had called would only listen to the first few words and told me they couldn’t help. When I first called Glazer Hammond, they listened to my whole situation and gave me an amount they’d work with. Yes it was quite a bit of money, but we are now done, and all I can say is, the work that was done for me by Jennifer was worth every last penny. I never had a bad experience with Glazer Hammond, everyone in the office was professional and kind. I would recommend their services. Thank you Jennifer and her assistant, Melissa, at Glazer and Hammond for doing such wonderful work for my family and I. Because of you, we were able to start our new beginning as a family.

My daughter was struggling to remove herself and her children from a volatile, negative relationship after many years. My daughter is on the west coast - I am in New England. As a mom, I worried about her long distance. My daughter retained Jennifer Ruben for legal advice and assistance, and I am so thankful she did. Atty. Ruben has assisted her in maneuvering her exit from the relationship with sound legal advice. It has been very reassuring to me that my daughter is being advised and guided appropriately and wisely through a very tumultuous situation. I cannot thank Jennifer Ruben enough for the guidance she has given my daughter.
