Clifford Law Offices PC
Clifford Law Offices PC is a Chicago trial firm on LaSalle Street, founded by Robert A. Clifford, whose own site bills it as a leader in personal injury, aviation litigation and wrongful death cases spanning medical malpractice, train, bus, construction and transportation claims. The firm says it has recovered over $5 billion for clients across its history.
Reviewers describe the firm handling claims against insurance companies and, in one case, a union negotiation following a workplace matter. Attorneys named in reviews, including Craig Squillace, Matthew Moyer and Joe Murphy, are described as responsive and hands-on through cases that in some instances ran for months.
What people praise
- Wrongful death is named on the firm’s own site as a core practice area, not an add-on
- The firm says it has recovered over $5 billion for clients across its history
- Also handles aviation litigation, a specialty few local firms take on
- Reviewers consistently describe attorneys as responsive and available outside normal hours
- Multiple reviewers report settlements that exceeded what they expected going in
Our take: Clifford holds the Featured placement here, and the reason to consider them is the case type rather than the star rating. The firm positions itself around fatal and catastrophic claims against institutions: hospitals, transport operators, construction companies, airlines. Its Google record, 4.4 across 68 reviews, is the thinnest review count on this page, which is what usually happens to firms that take a small number of very large cases instead of a high volume of claims, so read it as a different business model rather than a weaker one. The $5 billion recovered figure is the firm’s own claim rather than an audited number, so treat it as marketing. Ask on the initial call which attorney would actually run the case day to day.
