Louis Rubano is a Connecticut trial attorney with more than two decades of experience representing individuals who have suffered serious, life-altering injuries. Known for his relentless preparation and results-driven advocacy, Attorney Rubano has built a reputation for handling complex, high-stakes cases against municipalities, corporations, and insurance companies—and achieving meaningful results for his clients.
A graduate of Boston College and Suffolk University Law School, Attorney Rubano began his legal career in 1998 as a personal injury trial attorney in New Haven. During nearly two decades at a prominent Connecticut law firm, he helped secure more than $200 million in compensation for injured clients and generated over $50 million in attorney fees, reflecting both his courtroom skill and his ability to negotiate substantial settlements.
In 2018, he co-founded Weber & Rubano, LLC, a Wallingford-based trial firm dedicated to representing injured individuals throughout Connecticut. The firm focuses on serious accident and catastrophic injury cases, providing strategic, aggressive advocacy backed by extensive litigation experience.
Attorney Rubano’s most notable result is the historic $45 million settlement on behalf of Randy Cox against the City of New Haven. The case arose from a police transport incident that left Mr. Cox paralyzed. The resolution is widely regarded as the largest police misconduct settlement in United States history and reflects Attorney Rubano’s commitment to accountability and full justice for his clients.
Attorney Rubano has been repeatedly recognized by Super Lawyers for his professional excellence and is an active member of the Connecticut Bar Association and the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. Outside of his legal practice, he remains active in his community and youth activities, reflecting the same dedication and leadership that define his work in the courtroom.
Attorney Rubano approaches every case with a simple philosophy: preparation wins cases and results change lives. His record—including one of the most significant settlements in American legal history—demonstrates that commitment.
