Professional Experience

am very proud to be a trial-experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyer committed to achieving Justice for over 38 years. Some may say that trial lawyers are greedy and I freely admit that I am very greedy for Justice.

Justice is a virtue that assigns to every man his due and the protection of an individual’s rights is the greatest interest of every man and woman on earth.

I know from almost four decades of legal experience that lives can change completely in a tragic instant. A severe injury brings life-altering, personal, financial and emotional pressures that can seem insurmountable. The catastrophic injury or sudden loss of a loved one forever changes a family’s dynamics and outlook. If you are suffering after an accident, you need genuine compassion and skilled legal guidance to navigate the sudden new obstacles of an already complicated life. For close to forty years, Jeffrey Reiff and his law firm have fought for thousands of victims in complex personal injury and wrongful death cases.  His goal is to help people grieve, recover, and move on with their lives never losing sight of their lost hopes and dreams. He recognizes that tragedy does not discriminate and is ruthless in his pursuit for maximum justice. Behind each tragic accident, there is a complex story that is deeply personal and one’s success as a trial attorney is determined by how well the story can be understood and communicated in a compassionate manner with an ultimate focus on maximum recovery. The “Story” does not stop at the mere recitation of events leading up to injury,but more crucially on how an injury or death has not only impacted the client’s life in their day to day activities but also meaningfully understanding the collateral damage caused to their own as well as their family’s hopes, goals and dreams. In essence, when one loses hope, nothing else seems possible and life becomes perceived as a torturous journey of imposed impossibilities.Our highest priority with each case that we accept and pursue, regardless of all that has been lost, is to aid in restoring the one thing without which it is impossible to live-hope!

With each case we accept, we are well aware of our greatest responsibilities, which is to share the stories that have been so fearfully entrusted to us- and while each story is uniquely different -each one is also profoundly the same. One must never forget who they are or what they believe in.

Over the course of his long professional career, Mr.Reiff has successfully recovered a multitude of six, seven and eight figure awards for his clients.Jeffrey Reiff has been honored and  recognized nationally as well as  internationally by numerous professional organizations, publications and news organizations including but not limited to The Wall Street Journal,Newsweek,Law and Politics Magazine,CBS,NBC,ABC,Fox,CNN,USA Today,Associated Press,Reuters,The New York Post, New York Daily News,San Francisco Chronicle, The Legal Intelligencer and Philadelphia Magazine.His numerous professional awards are listed below.

He is a frequent guest, news commentator and speaker on the subject of amusement park, water park and recreation safety as well as trucking accidents and defective products that have substantially altered or ended the lives of victims.
