About Me

I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. Following graduation from The Bolles School, I studied at Duke University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy. After brief professional sports career, I moved to South Florida to pursue my law degree at St. Thomas School of Law.

I continued my public service as Assistant Staff Counsel for the Florida Bar’s Miami Office and later went on to work in the civil, criminal and family law divisions, earning a distinguished reputation as a skilled trial attorney in the South Florida legal community. In 2010, I joined Rubenstein Law to bring justice to personal injury victims. As a trial attorney, I am dedicated to originating cases and celebrating our community through outreach and involvement.

As an athlete and avid sports enthusiast, I lettered in both football and track while at Duke University and was Co–Captain of the football team led by Head Coach Steve Spurrier.

There is more to tire safety than is often realized by the general public. Visually inspecting and properly inflating tires is important, but rubberized products including tires have a limited life regardless of tread depth and use. Whether a tire is unsafe often cannot be detected by the naked eye. Manufacturers frequently blame the consumer for accidents placing the blame on old, worn tires when the cause of the tire’s failure is bad design, poor quality control, or a known pre-existing defect. The scariest part is whether you are driving fast or slow, in a flash these failures by the manufacturer can change your life.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Lawyer

Written by connect@rubensteinlaw.com on . Posted in Toxic Exposure.

What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is called “the silent killer,” because it is an odorless, scentless, colorless emission that is often undetected until it is too late. CO can cause serious illness, brain injury, and even death in humans and animals.

Carbon Monoxide fumes are produced when material that contains carbon is burned. This often happens via fuel fumes from vehicles, engines, or appliances commonly found in homes and business settings that are then inhaled by occupants or tenants. While CO poisoning can affect anyone, the most vulnerable are infants, the elderly, those with anemia, heart disease, or respiratory issues. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in the US, nearly 500 people die from CO poisoning each year. Hospital emergency rooms see about 50,000 people for CO inhalation per year.

About Me

Many of my clients describe me as a “fearless and effective advocate for people with personal injury and professional malpractice cases, including those involving complex instances of medical malpractice.”

I am a December 2000 graduate of Nova Southeastern University, Shepard Broad Law Center, where I founded the Law School Advisors Program. I was also a member of three moot court competitive travel teams, academic editor of the Moot Court, the co-editor of the International Travel Law Journal, and Executive Editor of the International & Comparative Law Journal. All of which I accomplished while attending law school at night and working a full-time position in the healthcare industry.

Prior to becoming a lawyer, I held management positions at major HMOs and insurance companies, worked as a Risk Manager to the cruise industry with a focus on crew claims and maritime acquisitions, and served as Vice President of South Florida Operations for a Florida-based commercial HMO. I am a member of the Florida Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District, Northern District, and Middle District of Florida. I am also a member of the Broward Bar Association, Women’s Auxiliary of the Veteran’s of Foreign War, and the Women’s Auxiliary of the American Legion.

Prior to representing injured parties, I represented private and public hospitals, healthcare entities, pharmacies, nursing homes, physicians and dentists, and cruise lines for ten (10) years. In doing so I obtained a wealth of knowledge on the inner workings of such companies that benefit my current clients.

In my quest to seek justice for my clients, I have secured many multi-million dollar verdicts in medical malpractice cases in courts throughout Florida. The Daily Business Review named me the most effective medical malpractice lawyer in 2013 for a $38.5 million dollar verdict and one of the most effective lawyers of 2016 in the area of medical malpractice by the Daily Business Review for a $4.3 million dollar arbitration award. Just in 2017 I co-chaired a record five (5) malpractice trials in Key West, Naples, Broward, Palm Beach, and Gainesville. I have formed trust and relationships with many insurers and hospitals to bring an early resolution to complex medical malpractice matters so that injured clients may move forward in their lives.

I believe my diverse background has contributed to great success in a variety of litigation cases. I have tried a number of complex arbitrations and complex medical cases on behalf of clients and have provided advice to physicians and medical institutions. I also handle cases involving medical and dental malpractice, wrongful death, nursing home litigation, pharmaceutical misfills, products liability litigation, and equine law (personal injury and commercial business).

I believe my unique talents give me and my team the upper hand in malpractice cases focused on finding systematic errors in the delivery of healthcare that lead to the injured persons’ damages.
