Chicago’s Premier Medical Malpractice Firm

Recognized for Excellence in Reputation and Results

Best Lawyers 2026Clifford Law Offices’ team of award-winning medical malpractice attorneys has been fighting for injured patients and their families across the Chicago area since 1984. We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for our clients in the process of pursuing justice and compensation for those who face catastrophic life events at the hands of others.

When you have suffered serious injury or a loved one has been injured or died at the hands of a trusted medical provider, it is critical to have an experienced medical malpractice team on your side.

Medical malpractice often results in lasting injuries, a lifetime burden of medical expenses, or, tragically, the loss of lives. While a lawsuit cannot reverse the damage done by a negligent healthcare professional, it can provide necessary financial resources for families and, potentially, prevent similar errors or negligent actions from happening to other patients in the future.

“Our track record of handling the most complex cases means our clients can count on us to achieve justice for them.”
-Susan A. Capra, partner, Clifford Law Offices
