Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices in Chicago, has been named one of America’s Top 200 Lawyers in Forbes’ inaugural list of 2024. Clifford is among only eight personal injury attorneys in the nation selected to the list, and the only personal injury attorney from Illinois.
In making its selection, Forbes’ editors stated they rated thousands of lawyers through a multi-layer process and highlighted “the finest practitioners in the profession—lawyers with stellar track records in their specialties, those who have broken barriers to emerge as leaders in their fields, and attorneys most respected by peers and clients.”
In selecting Clifford to this “power list,” Forbes wrote, “Clifford chairs Clifford Law Offices, a litigation boutique that has won major cases for clients harmed by wrongful conduct for over four decades. Clifford’s cases range from aviation to personal injury, medical negligence, and mass torts. A specialist in airline crash litigation, one of his most high-profile cases was as lead counsel on the Ethiopian Boeing 737 Max8 tragedy.”
“I’m humbled to be selected to Forbes’ list of those who have had unparalleled passion for what we do,” Clifford said. “I have the same passion as the day I started, and I am privileged to have so many put their trust in me over the years when they have complex legal issues that seem insurmountable. I work for fairness and justice for all my clients.”
Forbes said about their selection process that the lawyers named, “All share reputations for integrity, records of excellence—and Forbes’ recognition as the best in the business.”
