Cliff has also settled many cases, often during trial when the defense realizes that they are outmatched.  He recently settled a medical malpractice case involving a delay in diagnosis of tongue cancer for $3.5 Million Dollars during the trial, right before closing arguments.  The defense lawyers refused to make a settlement offer before the trial began.

Cliff graduated from The American University Washington College of Law at the top of his class (cum laude) and immediately started trying cases at a top medical malpractice law firm in New York City.  He won the first case that he tried and has continued to succeed on behalf of his clients ever since.

Duffy & Duffy is excited to announce that Cliff was recently named as a Partner at the firm.
