Robert A. Clifford founded Clifford Law Offices in 1984,
and it has grown to a nationally recognized personal injury
and wrongful death firm based in Chicago that consistently
obtains multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements for
its clients. U.S. News-Best Lawyers selected Mr. Clifford
as one of the top lawyers in plaintiff’s personal injury
litigation, and the firm received a national ranking in
plaintiffs’ mass tort litigation and class actions. Cancer-
causing talcum powder, defective Pella windows and
sexual harassment / sexual abuse cases are just some of
the areas in which lawyers at the firm excel. Mr. Clifford
currently represents 30 people who were injured or killed
in the tragic 2017 Amtrak derailment between Seattle and
Portland. The firm also was on the Plaintiffs’ Steering
Committee in the litigation involving the crash of Alaska
Air Flight 261 that crashed in the Pacific Ocean in 2000 as
it headed to San Francisco. Mr. Clifford also was the lead
negotiator in the $1.2 billion settlement of numerous 9/11
property damage claims following the collapse of the Twin
Towers in New York.
