About Benjamin
Biography
Attorney Benjamin (Benji) Rubin joined Rubin Law in 2010 which has, for more than 30 years, been limited to Special Needs Legal & Future Planning for our fellow families of children and adults with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, and mental illness. Benji’s older brother, Mitchell, has Autism. Having Mitchell as a brother profoundly shaped who Benji is today, and thus the type of law he chose to practice. His personal experiences as a sibling offer a unique perspective into the responsibilities that come with caring for a sibling with special needs. Now, as an adult, those sometimes present and future responsibilities he will have regarding his brother’s care, are a concern that he shares with all brothers and sisters of individuals with special needs.
