Rubenstein & Rynecki is proud to announce that three of our attorneys have earned recognition on the 2025 New York Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Partners Scott Rynecki, Esq. and Richard M. Levy, Esq. have been named to the Super Lawyers list, while Associate Marc R. Battipaglia, Esq. has once again been selected to the Rising Stars list.
These honors reflect our firm’s continued commitment to excellence, client advocacy, and impactful results in personal injury, civil rights, and medical malpractice litigation.
Scott Rynecki, Esq., named to the Super Lawyers list every year since 2013, has built a career securing multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements for clients harmed by negligence, misconduct, and abuse. He has successfully litigated against major corporations and institutions, including General Motors, Home Depot, and National Freight Carriers, and is a lifetime member of both the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Mr. Rynecki has also received the Lawyer of Distinction Award from the New York State Bar Association.
Richard M. Levy, Esq. earned a place on the 2025 Super Lawyers list for his outstanding work in personal injury and civil rights law, including recovering some of the largest police brutality verdicts in New York history. Admitted to practice in all New York State Courts as well as the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, Mr. Levy also serves on the Brooklyn Bar Association Grievance Committee and is recognized for his thorough preparation and fearless advocacy.
Marc R. Battipaglia, Esq., selected to the Rising Stars list for the fourth consecutive year, is recognized for his dedication to personal injury and civil rights litigation. Beyond the courtroom, he engages in community outreach, mentoring youth, attending public forums, and advocating for justice. Before joining Rubenstein & Rynecki, he assisted in prosecuting high-profile criminal cases, including organized crime and racketeering, with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. He is also a recipient of the Schneps Media Kings of Kings Award.
The Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are compiled through a rigorous selection process, including peer nominations, professional achievement evaluations, and independent research. Fewer than 5% of attorneys in each state are named to Super Lawyers, and only 2.5% are named to Rising Stars, making these distinctions a testament to true excellence in the legal profession.
