New York Personal Injury Attorneys Rubinowitz and TorganIn their Trial Advocacy Column in the New York Law Journal, NYC Personal Injury Attorneys Ben Rubinowitz and Evan Torgan write: “From a procedural point of view, the real goal of jury selection for the trial attorney is to preserve peremptory challenges. In civil cases in New York each side is allowed only three peremptory challenges; however, each side is allowed an unlimited number of challenges for “cause.”  This article was written in light of the recent political commentary on immigrant status. It is essential that the trial lawyer confront these issues directly or risk an adverse verdict. Unfortunately, certain political speeches have had the effect of improperly targeting immigrants. This article was written to assist Trial Lawyers to overcome such bias and bigotry.

In the wake of the domestic terror attack at the rally in Charlottesville, and the statements which provided aid and comfort to those who seek to divide and destroy us, we believe that remaining silent is, simply put, wrong.  Accordingly, we join in the chorus of voices worldwide condemning the racism and bigotry so clearly on display last weekend.  We condemn in the strongest possible terms any attempt to trivialize the hatred which fueled these events and to shift blame to the victims of the attack. We further call on all members of Congress and the Administration to denounce any statements and actions which seek to normalize and excuse the actions of groups dedicated to hate and bigotry.

For 98 years, our firm has been dedicated to helping individuals achieve justice, irrespective of their race, gender, creed, color or sexual orientation. We believe we must all remain vigilant to ensure the rights to live peacefully and justly continue to be afforded to all Americans.

New York Personal Injury Attorneys Rubinowitz and TorganIn their recent trial advocacy column in the New York Law Journal, New York Personal Injury Attorneys Ben Rubinowitz and Evan Torgan write: Too often trial lawyers fail to maximize key points that, if fully developed during cross, will serve not only to discredit the witness, but to anger the jurors so that they begin to question and doubt your adversary’s entire case. A thorough line of attack with respect to a lie does not simply prove that a witness was dishonest, but explores the thought process that went into concocting the lie in the first instance, the motives behind that lie, and the ultimate goal that the witness hoped to achieve by engaging in such deception.
