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.

 

Let criminal attorney Anthony Rubino handle your case with diligence, persistence and care.

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.

Absolute best!
After countless hours and days of research, phone calls, and meetings with multiple lawyers, no one compared to Anthony Rubino’s professionalism, positive attitude, knowledge, strategies, and effort in ensuring I am victorious in my case. I had a unique and challenging case for a misdemeanor battery. All odds and evidence seemed to be against me. The outlook was not promising when witnesses, the D.A., the Judge and cops were all against me and trying to make sure I got in a lot of trouble. But that did not stop Anthony’s persistent and effective defense of my case and unique situation. He was like the super lawyer you expect to fight and stand up for you. He reminded me of the exciting lawyers you see on TV defending their clients in court with genuine passion, empathy, and effort, as well as ingenious strategies that win. Working with Anthony I had the privilege to easily communicate with him, in all ways, text, phone call, in person, zoom, etc. whatever I needed, Anthony was able to accommodate, without having to go through some legal team or paralegals or assistants. I worked directly with Anthony throughout my entire case and that was the most comforting feeling. Anthony offers a very personable and boutique experience to his clients that allows you to feel comfortable because he is in constant direct communication, and only takes a few cases at a time, so there is no confusion at all on what he is doing and what is going on with your case. In fact, he called me more than I ever called him. Which I really appreciated, that I can sit back and watch him work with a real peace of mind that everything is being handled because he is on top of everything! I had lawyers in the past be overwhelmed with cases and never get a chance to have a meeting with them, this was the opposite in my experience with Anthony. He was always readily available to talk, he was knowledgeable about the law and my case, he had connections to help us out, and he was able to work and talk with my family when they had questions. The hospitable, professional, persistent, hardworking, passion and knowledgeable characteristics Anthony Posses allowed me to have the best outcome in my difficult case. He was able to get my case dismissed before arraignment when other lawyers said it was impossible! I could not believe it, with all odds against me, Anthony truly fought and defended me in the best effort you can get from a legal representative. My investment in Anthony’s service and legal defense, completely all paid off and Anthony was worth every penny and more! He was even able to work with me on my payments, which most lawyers would not even consider. He is the all-around best lawyer in the entire south Florida area, and only if you want to win your case in the best outcome. I graduated from a top 15 University, and I know how to research and analyze people very well, and the services he is offering is elite, and he is the lawyer you are looking for when you want someone available, intelligent, well-connected, and fighting for you till the end!

I would use Anthony again and would recommend him.
Unfortunately, I found myself in a position to need sound legal advise and an attorney that had enough expertise to help me out of a miserable situation. Anthony settled all of my worries early in the process. He was honest with me about my situation and potential issues with my case. When he needed to get aggressive with the prosecutor to resolve my case to an acceptable conclusion. He did. I was very happy with the result. I had been concerned early on that it would be a much worse experience and that a potential conviction would be on my record. Anthony made sure that none of that occurred.
