Ron Kuby
Ronald L. Kuby Lawyer. Born 1956 Cleveland, Ohio
Kuby is a criminal defense and civil rights attorney. Among his better-known clients are:
- Colin Ferguson (The LIRR spree killer) and Sheikh
- Omar Abdel-Rahman, convicted of masterminding the first World Trade Center bombing.
His work has not always found favour in certain quarters and he has survived a murder contract put out on him by Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano, the mafia "turncoat".
Kuby was expelled from junior high school for publishing an underground newspaper. He graduated from Cornell Law School third in his class, magna cum laude, in 1983. After college the well known civil rights lawyer Bill Kunstler asked Kuby to join his firm. Kubys eventual partnership with Kunstler helped establish the young lawyer's profile.
Kuby is now the co-host, with Curtis Sliwa, of the popular "Curtis and Kuby in the Morning" program which is aired on weekdays from 5 to 10 am on WABC-AM 770 in New York City.
