Attorney Sanford Rubenstein, the senior partner at the law firm of Rubenstein & Rynecki, is one of New York's most sought-after advocates for victims' rights in personal injury and civil rights matters. Described by the Melvin M. Belli Society of the American Trial Lawyers Association as one of the nation's 25 top trial lawyers, he has been described by New York Post’s Page Six as “a high powered personal injury lawyer” and by the New York Daily News a “famed attorney.” He has also been called a “legend” by television host Wendy Williams.

Rubenstein has handled numerous multi-million dollar high profile cases in which he has represented victims in tragic occurrences in New York City including the police torture of a man who was sodomized by a New York City police officer in a police precinct bathroom for which he got a $8.75 million dollar settlement and the fifty shot police shooting that killed one man the night before his wedding, and wounded his two friends settled for $7.15 million. He also obtained the highest settlement for negligence and malpractice in the State of New York for 2012, a $17.9 million dollar award for negligence and malpractice for a woman who suffered the amputation of her hands and feet.
