Areas of Practice
personal injury
Sometimes a person suffers harm to his or her body or emotional well being because of something someone else has done or failed to do. These injuries might form the basis of a lawsuit if the person or entity that caused the harm was negligence, reckless, or intentionally caused the harm. Common types of personal injury claims include car accidents, work accidents, slip and falls, assault claims, dog bites and product liability actions (i.e. a faulty product was to blame). Rubino Law can help you understand whether you have a claim and what kind of compensation you might be entitled to. If representation is the best solution, Rubino Law will take on most of these cases on a contingency fee basis.
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is a broad term that basically encompasses any case where two or more parties become embroiled in a legal dispute seeking money or another specific performance rather than criminal sanctions. This could include breaches of contract, landlord-tenant issues, employment disputes and a host of other conflicts that wind up in court.
Medical malpractice
A “subset” of personal injury, medical malpractice occurs when a doctor, hospital, nurse or other health care professional deviates from standards in his or her profession, thereby causing injury to a patient. Claims usually center on the failure to properly diagnose a disease or condition, the failure to provide appropriate treatment for a medical condition, and unreasonable delay in treating or diagnosing a problem. Rubino Law’s founder, David Rubino, spent years defending some of the largest hospitals in New York City. He knows how to help you win against doctors and hospitals because he knows how they think.
REAL estate
Buying or selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The process is a complex one and cannot be navigated without the assistance of legal counsel.
OTHER AREAS OF PRACTICE
Sometimes you aren’t really sure whether you have a legal issue or not. If you’re not a lawyer, understanding your legal rights and knowing whether you have a claim isn’t always easy. Rubino Law offers free consultations, so there’s no need to guess. Contact the office for an honest assessment of what your options are.
Wills, Trusts and Estates
Planning your estate is something not everyone does. Approximately 60% of people die without a will. That means state statutes determine where your assets go and, if you have minor children, who should be their guardian. Wills and trusts are the simplest way to plan for the future and getting them right is important.
CIVIL RIGHTS/HUMAN RIGHTS
Civil rights laws guarantee rights for individuals to receive equal treatment and prohibits discrimination in a number of settings, including education, employment, housing, lending, voting, and more. If you’ve been discriminated against, Rubino Law can help you.
