IRVINE, California – Thomas A. Cifarelli, principal attorney at The Cifarelli Law Firm, has been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America for his work in Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs.

Cifarelli has been named to Best Lawyers since 2011. The organization bases its selection on peer review, including evaluations from lawyers in the same geographic region and practice area. 

“Much of our work involves people and families facing serious injuries, abuse or failures by institutions they trusted,” Cifarelli said. “These cases demand careful advocacy and a clear focus on accountability. That remains the priority in every matter we handle.” 

Best Lawyers also named Cifarelli its Orange County “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs three times, in 2015, 2017 and 2023. The designation is awarded to one lawyer in each practice area and metropolitan region in each edition, based on the highest overall peer feedback.

Cifarelli practices in Irvine, California, where he represents plaintiffs in personal injury and medical malpractice matters. His practice also includes child sexual abuse litigation, and claims involving school negligence and public entity liability.

Cifarelli earned his law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and graduated magna cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles.

The 2027 edition recognizes 81,620 lawyers across 151 practice areas and 203 metropolitan and geographic areas throughout the nation. Best Lawyers said this year’s results were based on 3.8 million evaluations submitted by more than 32,000 voting lawyers.
