The firm still features some of the finest trial attorneys in the nation and is now led by Ben Rubinowitz and a core group of senior partners who consistently obtain some of the highest verdicts and settlements in NY in cases ranging from construction and car accidents to medical malpractice, sexual abuse, complex products liability claims and catastrophic injuries.

At the time the firm was representing the family of a 2-year-old girl who was fatally crushed by a portion of façade that fell from a building in front of which she was sitting with her grandmother.
