Ronald J. Aranoff
Mr. Aranoff received his bachelor’s degree in 1992 from Yeshiva University, graduating magna cum laude, and received his J.D. from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he was a David Berg academic scholar.
Mr. Aranoff joined the firm in 2002, and concentrates his practice on antitrust and consumer class action litigation. In November 2009, Mr. Aranoff won a $14.7 million jury verdict for a class of Connecticut independent automobile physical damage repair shops against The Hartford Fire Insurance Company ("The Hartford"). The case was litigated for six and one half years in the Connecticut Superior Court (Stamford/Norwalk Division), including a three week jury selection process and a four week jury trial. The verdict provided a recovery for a class of approximately one thousand five hundred independent auto body shops who, for years, had their labor rates suppressed for work performed on The Hartford’s insureds automobiles.
Other representative matters have concerned requiring the manufacturer of an ovulation predictor kit to re-label its product so that it would accurately reflect the product’s limitations, and requiring a prominent computer manufacturer to compensate consumers for a defective power adapter. Currently, Mr. Aranoff is representing clients in a wide range of matters, including, most recently, deceptive and anti-competitive conduct in the food, railroad, automotive and real estate industries.
Before joining Bernstein Liebhard LLP, Mr. Aranoff served as an Assistant District Attorney in Kings County, New York, where he tried numerous cases to verdict. Thereafter, he was associated with Slotnick, Shapiro & Crocker, LLP (now part of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC), where he represented corporate, institutional and individual clients in civil, criminal and administrative matters. For example, Mr. Aranoff was part of the defense team that defended an accused Colombian national of leading an international money laundering scheme. He also defended a prominent adult home in a civil trial alleging administrative violations levied by the State of New York.
Mr. Aranoff is admitted to the Bar of the State of New York. He is also admitted to practice before the bars of the federal district courts for the Southern and Eastern districts of New York and to the bars of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second, Third and Eleventh Circuits, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States.
