			== Media Coverage ==

			Rothfeld has been featured in major national publications for his work with high-profile clients:

			* In February 2026, ''Rolling Stone'' published a feature on the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where many of Rothfeld's clients have been detained. Rothfeld provided expert commentary on conditions at the facility, explaining that "it is just one of those moments in time where there are many more high-profile individuals being indicted in the Southern District of New York." He described the facility's "4 North" unit, which houses approximately 20 high-profile inmates at a time who have been deemed low security risks or need separation from the general population for their safety.<ref name="rollingstone-mdc">[https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/luigi-mangione-maduro-diddy-jail-mdc-1235507094/ "Inside MDC, Where Luigi Mangione, Nicolas Maduro, and Diddy Spent Time"], ''Rolling Stone'', February 3, 2026.</ref>

			* In a 2025 exclusive interview with ''The Hollywood Reporter'', Harvey Weinstein spoke about Rothfeld's role in saving his life during a medical emergency at Rikers Island. Weinstein recounted calling Rothfeld when he fell critically ill, stating: "Please help me. I'm sick. I don't know what to do." Rothfeld intervened and arranged for Weinstein to be transferred to Bellevue Hospital, where he underwent emergency heart surgery the following day. Weinstein stated that "a day later and I would have been gone," crediting Rothfeld with saving his life.<ref name="thr-weinstein">[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/harvey-weinstein-prison-interview-rikers-exclusive-1236523824/ "The Harvey Weinstein Prison Interview From Rikers: Exclusive"], ''The Hollywood Reporter'', 2025.</ref>
