Personal Injury Attorneys
The most rewarding part of personal injury law attorney Michael K. Grife’s job is giving closure to people who’ve experienced a life-changing traumatic event. He restores them to a position of power and prominence, giving them an optimistic and positive outlook on life.
“When you suffer a traumatic event, you have an open wound,” says Grife, founder of The Grife Law Firm in Boca Raton. “We’re here to repair that wound as much as possible. We put our clients back on track so they can start to live and enjoy life again. We help give them closure for the traumatic event that they hired us for. They may never be fully healed, but we can help them move forward with dignity and top-level financial compensation.”
The firm provides compassionate and personalized personal injury and medical malpractice representation for clients who’ve experienced a catastrophic injury. They also represent family members whose loved ones have suffered an untimely death due to negligence such as car, trucking and motorcycle accidents, and medical malpractice events such as surgical errors, misdiagnosis and failure/delayed diagnosis. The firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients don’t pay fees or costs unless they win the case.
“We have a huge war chest with many resources since we’ve been doing this for a long time,” Grife says. “We have the skills and experience to take on the most complex and catastrophic cases.”
Recent successes include a medical malpractice case that resulted in a $10 million recovery, another medical malpractice case that brought in $3.5 million for a client, a bicycle crash that resulted in $3 million for a seriously injured gentleman and $2.9 million for a motorcycle accident where the client suffered a devastating leg injury. Their attorneys take an aggressive approach to pursuing cases so that clients get the justice they deserve to move forward in their healing. “We care about clients’ recovery financially, mentally and physically.”
The firm’s lawyers include Grife, who has been recognized by Super Lawyers, The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Best Lawyers in America; Patrick W. Knight, a Board-Certified Civil Trial Attorney with renowned trial success, can relate to his clients as a survivor of a traumatic incident; Catherine C. Darlson, a catastrophic personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer, has achieved dynamic results throughout her career. A victim of a car crash as a teenager, Darlson became a lawyer to advocate for those who were hurt by no fault of their own.
“We understand that these cases are personal for each client and they’re looking for vindication for what they’ve suffered. It’s our job to get them that vindication, so they know that the wrongdoer is taking responsibility for the harms that were caused and that they’re receiving as much compensation as possible,” Grife says. “Everyone who comes into our office has suffered some sort of harm before arriving. It’s our job and duty to put an arm on their shoulder and be an active listener and provide compassionate services.”
Taking on these types of cases and bringing them to trial involves being able to accurately explain a case’s facts clearly to a jury. “You must understand all rules of procedure and evidence that provide the most justice and also tell your client’s story in a relatable and compassionate way,” Grife says.
The Grife Law Firm office is a first-class clean and modern space with large windows and marble countertops, which reflects the high standards of the firm and legal practice.
“We’re all focused on our core beliefs and firm values to get successful results and perform our duties at a high level, providing clients with a first-class experience,” Grife says. “Clients want to know that someone is taking responsibility for the harms they were caused and that they’re receiving as much compensation as possible. At the end of the day, we want to right a wrong to the fullest extent.”
