When You’re Facing the Unthinkable, We Stand With You.
Nationwide Personal Injury Attorneys
Across the country, we advocate for victims and their families in matters involving hazing, sexual abuse, human trafficking, school violence, catastrophic injury, and wrongful death. For more than 30 years, we have helped shape legal accountability in some of the most serious and complex cases.
As Featured On
We don’t just win lawsuits.
We deliver justice.
Most personal injury lawyers boast about money won, but real justice for victims means more than compensation. While we have secured hundreds of millions for our clients, our attorneys have also been trusted to handle high-profile cases involving serious institutional wrongdoing. Founded in Washington, D.C., we’ve built a national practice representing clients across the country. We’ve compelled institutions to implement safety reforms, established legal precedent, and helped clients create social justice foundations to protect others.
We never defend perpetrators of harm.
We stand with survivors and people that have been hurt by others, period. Other lawyers represent criminals and perpetrators, claiming that everyone is entitled to an attorney. Not everyone is entitled to us. Our team is committed to one side of the fight: pursuing justice for those who have been wronged by negligent individuals and the institutions that enable them.
Our Practice Areas
Our firm focuses on representing clients in complex, high-stakes cases nationwide.
School &
Campus Lawsuits
We are nationally recognized for taking on schools, universities, and fraternities that harm students. We handle complex cases involving hazing, sexual assault, and school shootings, forcing these powerful institutions to answer for their negligence in court.
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
A catastrophic injury or the loss of a loved one is an injustice, not an accident. We represent victims and families in their darkest hour, aggressively fighting to secure the resources and accountability they deserve to begin rebuilding their lives.
High Profile Advocacy
60 Minutes – Washington State University Fraternity Hazing
When a freshman named Sam Martinez died pledging Alpha Tau Omega at Washington State University in 2019, his parents said the national fraternity hid the local chapter’s history of hazing and hindered the investigation into their son’s death. Eight months after Sam’s death, his parents filed suit against ATO, its members, and Washington State University. Doug Fierberg, their attorney, has litigated more than 40 hazing cases during the last two decades.
Historic Virginia Tech Mass Shooting Settlement
During this press conference, Doug Fierberg announces the settlement that was reached with Virginia for 21 families he represented. “The historic settlement agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia will result in more than $11 million in financial compensation, health benefits, and non-monetary assistance for surviving family members and victims of the April 16, 2007 massacre at Virginia Tech”.

$ Hundreds of Millions $ Obtained Says We Win
We well know that money changes lives. We also seek to honor our clients by causing dangerous institutions to reform and punish those that don’t. Our expertise has also been used to pierce the corporate veil constructed by fraternity lawyers to hide their assets from survivors of sexual assault and hazing. The millions of dollars we have obtained for our clients have helped them carry on the legacies of their children and protect others.

Uncompromising In Our Advocacy
Many famous lawyers play both sides of the fence, as if representing criminals and wrongdoers is a moral necessity. We do not share that belief, nor would we try to convince a survivor that we have their back while protecting those accused of crimes. We fight for survivors. Others can look elsewhere for representation.

There is no more ethical person.
“If you have a chance to hire Doug Fierberg as your lawyer…grab it with both hands! Any client would and should be honored to have Doug Fierberg representing them. There is no more ethical person — let alone lawyer — that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Tireless, fearless, compassionate, well-researched…and funny! Doug checks all the boxes, but he actually and truly cares about the welfare of his clients, long after the filings are done.”

A beacon of light bringing me hope.
“If you are looking for the best, look no further. You will not do any better than Doug Fierberg. In my deepest darkest depths of despair, Doug Fierberg appeared as a beacon of light bringing me hope and saved my life. His kindness, wisdom, expertise, and availability whenever I needed him, gave me the strength I so desperately needed to fight the biggest battle of my life after the loss of my son Matt Carrington who was killed in a water hazing while pledging a fraternity at Chico State in 2005.”
