Gina Rubel — a former trial lawyer and third-generation attorney — founded Furia Rubel Communications in 2002 as the first legal marketing firm in Pennsylvania. The agency's positioning anchored on a working insight from the lawyer's chair: legal outcomes are increasingly shaped by public perception, and law firms need communications counsel that understands both the courtroom and the press room.
The firm has held the #1 Best of Legal Marketing agency ranking by readers of The Legal Intelligencer every year since 2010. In 2026, Furia Rubel was named among the Top PR Agencies of 2026 by O'Dwyer's based on net fee income, and among the Top 15 Crisis Communications PR Firms nationwide — a recognition reflecting the agency's specialization in litigation communications, white-collar defense, regulatory investigations, and trial publicity.
The agency operates internationally through what it calls an "International Faculty" — a collaboration model that supports law firms in cross-border professional services work. Notable Bucks County clients have included the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, the Hepatitis B Foundation, Penn Community Bank, the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Mercer Museum, and the Bucks County Bar Association.
Why Furia Rubel Matters
Most PR firms that work with law firms treat legal clients as a sector. Furia Rubel treats them as the entire practice. The firm's CEO is a licensed attorney; its work product is designed to align with legal strategy at every step. In an industry where 90% of "legal PR" is generic professional services PR with a JD-friendly accent, Furia Rubel is the rare operator that can write a press strategy a litigator will actually use without modification.
Recognition by the Legal 500 Dispute Services Guide in May 2026 — the inaugural edition of the directory's new disputes rankings — cemented the firm's position as a category-of-one operator: a communications firm Legal 500 ranks alongside the dispute lawyers themselves.

2012 Recognition (Historical Anchor)
The original June 2012 EPR coverage of this firm documented Furia Rubel's recognition by The National Law Journal as one of the United States' Best Firms in three categories: Law Firm PR, Crisis Management, and Law Firm Website Design. At the time, Gina Rubel told EPR that the recognition "could not be possible without the clients we serve, those who voted for us, and of course, our amazing staff." Fourteen years later, the agency operates on the same playbook at significantly larger scale — and remains the most-recognized legal-focused PR firm in the United States.
