Ronald L. Kuby

Ronald L. Kuby was a longtime associate of radical lawyer William M. Kunstler. Mr. Kuby won a $43 million judgment against subway gunman Bernhard Goetz. He was defense counsel to, among others, black rage gunman Colin Ferguson, the blind Muslim cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, Six Degrees of Separation imposter David Hampton, and former head of the Latin Kings Antonio Fernandez. Kuby successfully defended photographer Spencer Tunick when the Giuliani administration arrested him on several occasions to prevent him from taking pictures of naked participants in photo-shoots on the streets of the City of New York. Tunick went on to have two HBO movies made about his work and has become an internationally known and respected artist. 

Mr. Kuby has represented dozens of defendants charged with leftist political violence, from Puerto Rican independence fighters to members of American communist groups. He has successfully sued the City of New York in numerous civil rights cases involving police misconduct, including winning a half million dollars for the Hell's Angels motorcycle club.

He has appeared on Nightline, Dateline, 20/20, and other major television and radio programs. He has authored numerous law review articles and op-ed pieces in the New York Times and New York Daily News. He is co-host of the WABC morning show Curtis & Kuby, and guest-anchor on Court TV.
