Renowned civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump has agreed to represent the estranged son of Robert Brooks, in an estate case involving his father who died under controversial circumstances at Marcy Correctional Facility.
The son, who declined to have his name published at this time, reportedly reached out to Crump over the weekend asking him to take on the case. According to sources close to the family, Crump formally accepted the representation and plans to come to Rochester in the next few days to commence his investigation.

Over the years, he has represented families in some of the most significant civil rights cases in recent history, including those of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, and Breonna Taylor.
Crump’s work often focuses on holding powerful institutions accountable and shedding light on systemic inequities within the justice system. He has built a reputation not only for his legal acumen but also for his ability to amplify cases that demand national attention.
