About Anthony

Biography

Anthony Rubino was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He graduated from Palmetto Senior High School in 1989. He went to college at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, graduating in 1993. After college, Mr. Rubino entered law school and obtained his Juris Doctor degree in 1996. He then took and passed both the California and Florida Bar Exams and relocated back to Miami in 1997.

Once in Miami, he began his criminal law career at the Miami-Dade County Public Defender’s Office under Bennett Brummer. During his 4½ years at the Public Defender’s office he worked in Juvenile, Domestic Violence, Misdemeanor Traffic, Misdemeanor Crimes and numerous Felony Court divisions where he handled literally thousands of cases. This broad spectrum allowed Mr. Rubino to gain great knowledge of the vast criminal law arena. While working at the PD Office, Mr. Rubino also formed many valuable friendships with fellow attorneys, prosecutors, judges, clerks, bailiffs, corrections officers, probation officers and judicial assistants that continue to be of great benefit to his practice today.

After leaving the PD Office in December of 2001, Mr. Rubino then went to work for his father, Frank Rubino, who is a very well-known criminal defense attorney in Miami. While there, he learned the ‘business side’ of criminal law and also polished his skills in aiding his father in the defense of many high profile clients. After two years with his father, Mr. Rubino started his own practice in January of 2004.

Today, Mr. Rubino has a remarkable boutique criminal law practice. Mr. Rubino has achieved the distinction of being rated as an AV Preeminent lawyer by Martindale-Hubbell with a perfect 5.0 out of 5.0 rating. He has also been recognized by with a perfect rating of 10. Mr. Rubino accepts a limited number of clients at a time and provides each client with the utmost in service and accessibility. He prides himself on ‘leaving no stone unturned’ in each case he takes on. He never takes short cuts. He always visits the scene of the crime. He takes depositions, writes motions or asks for internal affairs records where it is appropriate to the client’s defense. He watches surveillance video, checks phone and computer records and takes photos when the case calls for it. He will personally locate and interview potential defense witnesses or perform background checks on listed state witnesses. His belief is that by limiting the number of clients that he represents at a time, he is able to represent each client in the manner that they deserve to be represented.

Case Was Dismissed

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding representation provided by Attorney Anthony Rubino. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and a deep understanding of the legal process. Throughout my criminal case—which ultimately resulted in a full dismissal—M...r. Rubino was always available to answer my questions, calm my worries, and guide me step-by-step through every stage. He treated my case with urgency and care, ensuring I never felt lost or alone. His confidence, expertise, and strategic approach gave me peace of mind during one of the most stressful times of my life. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, I received the best possible outcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and I highly recommend Anthony Rubino to anyone in need of skilled and compassionate legal representation.

My review of Anthony Rubino

I had the pleasure of working with Anthony Rubino, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He demonstrated a deep understandi...ng of the law and provided clear, concise explanations of the legal process, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. His strategic approach and attention to detail was impressive, and his ability to navigate complex legal issues was remarkable. Throughout the case, Mr. Rubino was always responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. He was compassionate and supportive, which made me feel confident and reassured during a difficult time. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, my case resulted in a favorable outcome. If you’re in need of a skilled and compassionate criminal defense attorney, look no further than Anthony Rubino. His dedication, professionalism, and expertise make him an outstanding choice.

Fantastic!

Anthony is fantastic! Friendly, professional and efficient! He is very human oriented, take time to listen to all your concerns. Review your case deeply and read your case like no one else’s. My case was in hands of a different lawyer that did not see what Mr Rubino saw after the 1st study of my case.... My case was a Big success thanks to him!

Couldn’t be more pleased..

I’ve called maybe 3 attorneys before hiring Anthony. He’s the only one that took the time to research my case beforehand and made me feel confident that my case would be dismissed in a timely fashion. He already had experience working with the judge which made me comfortable and he was confident that... we could win before going to court and we did. Although, I was nervous I appreciated the honesty and care he gave my case all in my best interest. I would recommend him a thousand times to anyone in need.
