Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP consists of over sixty lawyers and a large support staff in three offices nationwide.

Since our founding in 1972, we have successfully resolved thousands of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits in state and federal courts throughout the country.

Described by The American Lawyer as "one of the nation's premier plaintiffs' firms," our firm enjoys a national reputation for professional integrity and for the efficient, aggressive and responsible prosecution of our clients' claims.

We offer our clients the following advantages:

Attentive, Personal Service

We are committed to providing the very best representation for our clients and to obtaining the highest compensation in the most efficient manner under law for their claims.

We work closely with our clients throughout the litigation process to maximize and expedite their recoveries. Each client is assigned an individual attorney who is responsible for prosecuting the case and regularly communicating with the client.

At the same time, our attorneys work as a team, drawing upon their combined knowledge, training and skills to provide our clients with decades of litigation experience.

The Strength of a National Law Firm

Representing clients in eight practice areas, Lieff Cabraser is among the largest law firms in the United States that represent only plaintiffs. Our legal skills, along with our ability to advance the costs in our clients' cases, enable us to successfully litigate against many of the country’s largest corporations and the large defense firms that represent them.

Since 2003, The National Law Journal has ranked our firm as one of the top plaintiff law firms in the nation. We are one of only two law firms, and the only law firm practicing injury law, to have received this award the past six consecutive years.

Leaders Among Attorneys

Our attorneys include some of the country's most distinguished legal practitioners, with expertise in investigating and filing personal injury lawsuits, prosecuting complex, time-consuming cases through trial, and negotiating and crafting se ttlements that achieve justice for our clients.

As a result, our attorneys are routinely appointed by federal and state courts across America to serve as the leaders in national personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Our attorneys are very active in the legal community. Many are directors and officers of local, state and national bar associations. Many write articles, give speeches and teach courses on the various firm practice areas. And a number of our attorneys have received awards and honors for their distinguished skills and successes.

An Outstanding Track Record

Our firm has played a leading role in many of the largest and most important civil cases in the United States over the last decade. Since 1995, Lieff Cabraser has obtained over $100 million in settlements and judgments for our clients in individual personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. During the same period and working with co-counsel, we have achieved verdicts and settlements in excess of $10 billion in product liability class action lawsuits.

Our most recent trial was a wrongful death action brought by the family of a young father killed due to a defect in his Dodge Dakota pickup truck. Lieff Cabraser served as lead trial counsel in the action and obtained a $54.4 million verdict for the family.

In many of these cases, we assisted our clients in persuading the corporate defendants to issue recalls or improve their safety procedures for the protection of all consumers and patients.

Currently, we are prosecuting scores of lawsuits involving injuries and deaths resulting from all types of negligent conduct and design defects, ranging from vehicle accidents to faulty medical devices. We also represent patients prescribed drugs with dangerous, undisclosed side effects or victims of negligent medical care.

A Premier Legal Team

In addition to our more than sixty attorneys, we employ an impressive team of legal nurse consultants, scientific and medical analysts, investigators and legal assistants who have years of experience with personal injury lawsuits.

Our staff works with our attorneys to expeditiously obtain and review client medical records, tabulate medical and surgical expenses, and estimate the costs of anticipated future operations, treatments and ongoing therapies.

We also have relationships with the leading experts in the fields of accident and disaster reconstruction, automotive safety, product design, aviation, manufacturing, medicine and surgery, and pharmacology.
