Robert Clifford Profiled in Chicago Magazine

Robert A. Clifford, senior partner at Clifford Law Offices, is profiled in the March, 2011 issue of Chicago Magazine. Writer David Bernstein examines Mr. Clifford’s legal career over the past three decades, focusing on a case that has taken much of his attention in the last few years: the subrogation property damage claims involving the destruction of the New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The story, “Showdown on Ground Zero,” examines how Bob has worked tirelessly on behalf of those who lost property in that disaster that could have been prevented, according to witnesses Bob questioned. It has been a painstaking process, taking the deposition of hundreds of people nationwide and accounting for the fair market values of the business interruption claims and the replacement value of all of the items destroyed in the twin towers.

The article speaks of Bob’s “working-class background” to where he now sits across the table from the most formidable of opponents in the most complicated of cases, “battling corporate wrongdoers and their high-paid legal defenders.” Bob Clifford’s passion and dedication to his clients – victims of aviation crashes, medical negligence, product liability and other terrible tragedies – comes through in the words of Mr. Bernstein. The profile speaks of “the compact, no-nonsense Chicagoan who has made himself into arguably one of the top aviation litigators in the nation.”

It is clear from the lengthy article that he is always fighting for transparency and accountability in his clients’ cases.
