"Prolific, legendary, change-maker, and even outrageous are all accurate descriptions of the renowned civil rights attorney based in New York, Sanford Rubenstein. "Rubenstein's career has been punctuated by many heart-wrenching, high profile cases in which he has represented countless victims of wrongful acts. Yet, it is Rubenstein's mastery of the trial outside of the courtroom-under the scrunity of a jury comprising the press, the public, and policymakers-that sets him apart from other civil rights attorneys."
