Larry L. Leifer for the last 35 years has been a leader in representing persons who have been the victims of mistakes made by medical personnel both in and out of hospitals, as well as victims of faulty or wrongfully prescribed drugs. In recognition of his efforts, which have resulted in the recovery of millions of dollars for his many clients, Larry has been chosen by his peers as a "Super Lawyer" and has also been elected to serve a term as the Chair of the Certified Trial Lawyers section of the New Jersey Bar Association. In addition, Larry has represented the Certified Trial Section in interviews by various business and professional publications such as NJBIZ, and The Star Ledger, New Jersey's leading newspaper. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice - NJ, of which he serves on the Board of Governors. In addition to being a member of the Bar in New Jersey and Florida, Larry is a member of the Bar of the United States Supreme Court, and is Rated A.V. in Martindale Hubbell’s National Law Directory. He is also listed by Martindale as a Preeminent Medical Malpractice Trial Lawyer, and is a Sustaining Member of the American Association for Justice.

Larry has tried to verdict more than 100 medical malpractice cases in addition to many product liability and personal injury cases which have relied on his scientific and pharmacologic background. He has played a part in putting back together the lives of many families which have been torn apart by medical mistakes, by obtaining for them the funds needed to go on with their lives. These include a $4 million benefit to the husband and children survivors of a mother and wife who was killed by a doctor-administered overdose of chemotherapy; a recovery of nearly $4 million for a woman who suffered, and eventually died, from a botched tracheotomy; and a settlement for hundreds of thousands of dollars for a man who suffered from a partial penile amputation as the result of a delay in the diagnosis of cancer.

These are the kinds of cases that Larry has devoted his life to, for the benefit of the families he serves.
