The lawyers at Clifton & Singer today have a combined experience of more than 50 years of practicing law. The firm’s special emphasis is in protecting clients’ legal rights in personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, catastrophic injury and wrongful death as well as in residential real estate, family law and criminal law.

Clifton & Singer understands the importance of the court and trial process in representing their clients’ legal rights. Each of the firm’s attorneys is a competent trial lawyer. However, Clifton & Singer recognizes the increased costs to a client inherent in a trial in the form of the clients’ money, time and psychological stresses. Therefore, as a firm policy, Clifton & Singer attempts pre-litigation alternative dispute measures, wherever appropriate, to represent clients’ legal rights. The firm feels that arbitration and mediation, in addition to the traditional negotiation and trial process, enables clients to recover the maximum benefits available to them with the least psychological and financial costs, and it is the firm’s first choice in resolving clients’ disputes.

Benjamin F. Clifton, Jr. and Richard G. Singer, both graduates of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law, started Clifton & Singer, L.L.P. in 1978. After leaving larger firms over 27 years ago, Mr. Clifton and Mr. Singer decided they could protect clients’ rights better in a small firm environment. They felt that together, in a small firm, they could give clients the personal care and attention they deserved.
