About
Klein & Rubinstein, LLP, is a distinguished and highly regarded personal injury and medical malpractice law firm headquartered in the heart of Brooklyn's legal district at 32 Court St # 1401. For years, the firm has stood as a formidable advocate for individuals and families across New York City and New York State who have suffered life-altering injuries due to the negligence or misconduct of others. Founded on the bedrock principles of unwavering client commitment, legal excellence, and a relentless pursuit of justice, the firm has cultivated a reputation not merely as litigators, but as compassionate counselors and fierce protectors of victims' rights. The firm's mission is elegantly simple yet profound: to level the playing field against powerful insurance companies, corporations, hospitals, and municipal entities, ensuring that injured clients receive the full and fair compensation necessary to rebuild their lives, cover extensive medical costs, and secure their futures. The name Klein & Rubinstein has become synonymous with a specific brand of legal practice—one that combines sophisticated, aggressive litigation strategy with a deeply personal, hands-on approach to client service. What truly sets Klein & Rubinstein apart is their foundational belief that every case is a human story first and a legal file second. The attorneys, led by its founding partners, are known for their accessibility and dedication to demystifying the complex legal process for their clients, providing clear communication and setting realistic expectations from the initial consultation through to settlement or trial. The firm's expertise is sharply focused on the most severe and complex areas of personal injury law, including construction accidents under New York's Labor Law, catastrophic motor vehicle collisions, medical malpractice leading to birth injuries, surgical errors, and misdiagnoses, premises liability involving unsafe properties, and wrongful death claims. Their deep knowledge of New York's specific statutes, such as the Scaffold Law (Labor Law 240), and their extensive experience in both state and federal courts, provide a significant strategic advantage. Klein & Rubinstein's unique value proposition lies in their trial-tested readiness. While many firms seek quick settlements, they prepare every case as if it is going to trial from day one. This meticulous approach—involving early engagement of top medical experts, accident reconstructionists, and economists—builds undeniable leverage that often results in maximized settlements and, when necessary, compelling jury verdicts. The firm's physical location in Downtown Brooklyn, steps from the Kings County Supreme Court, is both symbolic and strategic, positioning them at the epicenter of New York's judicial activity. Furthermore, their diverse and multilingual team allows them to serve the rich tapestry of New York's communities with cultural sensitivity and understanding. Beyond individual case results, Klein & Rubinstein is defined by its commitment to the community it serves, often engaging in educational outreach and advocating for safer worksites and medical practices. They are not just lawyers who take cases; they are a firm that takes a stand for safety, accountability, and justice, making them a premier choice for those seeking not just representation, but a true partnership in the face of adversity.

Always very thorough and attentive to my needs. Just had my trays done for tooth whitening. Made it easy to follow the instructions.
I just had my first visit with Dr. Klein. The office atmosphere was very comfortable and I appreciated Dr. Klein's recommendation and explanation on how to better take care of my gums and teeth.
Dr. Klein was quite condescending to me whenever I asked a question. She did seem competent, though.
Dr. Rubinstein was great.
Also, they're super strict on being late and will likely cancel you're appointment if you're more than just a few minutes late. But I'm not taking off any stars for that.
