Firm Information
Overview
Since 1984, Clifford Law Offices has served clients in Chicago and across the nation, handling serious cases with exceptional results. Our practice areas include medical malpractice, car accidents, construction accidents, truck accidents, class action lawsuits, explosions and fires, premises liability, transportation accidents and aviation litigation. Our attorneys are recognized leaders in personal injury and wrongful death law, and we are consistently ranked among Chicago's top firms and included on U.S. News & World Report's list of Best Law Firms.
Aviation is where our reputation is most firmly established. Under the leadership of founder and senior partner Robert A. Clifford, we have represented victims and families in nearly every major U.S. commercial airline crash of the past four decades, along with numerous general aviation accidents. We acted for the families of more than 70 victims of the 2019 Boeing 737 MAX 8 crash in Ethiopia, with Mr. Clifford serving as lead counsel in the federal litigation in Chicago. Today, we represent nine families affected by the January 2025 Potomac River collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Eagle jet, advocate for families in the UPS Cargo Jet crash in Louisville and support those seeking justice after the Air India Flight AI-171 tragedy. Our earlier matters include Turkish Airlines at Schiphol, United Airlines Flight 585 and US Air Flight 427.
Our work speaks loudly, and the legal world has taken notice. The National Law Journal counts us among the nation's 50 Elite Law Firms, a distinction no other Chicago firm holds, and ranks us among its top 10 litigation boutiques. In 2020, we added another milestone when we were crowned Aviation Law Firm of the Year.
Honesty is the first thing we offer every person who walks through our door. We have a dedicated intake team that carefully examines each inquiry and tells you plainly where your case stands, with no false hope and no wasted time. And if we take your case, the financial burden is ours to carry. We cover every expense along the way, and we collect a fee only when we win compensation for you.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury or loss, we invite you to contact Clifford Law Offices today. We offer a free initial consultation, available in person or by virtual appointment, and we accept major credit cards for your convenience. Allow us to review your circumstances and provide a confidential evaluation of your case.
