When the case is complicated and the stakes are high, New York turns to Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP. Over $2 billion recovered for our clients.
Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman LLP has represented New Yorkers in emotionally and medically complex injury cases since 1971. Founder Paul D. Rheingold pioneered modern mass tort litigation with a scientific rigor that shaped how the firm builds all of our cases to this day. Each practice area is led by a partner with decades of trial experience in the most sensitive areas of the law including sexual abuse and trafficking, medical malpractice, lead paint poisoning, products liability and other serious personal injury matters.
With the help of in-house nurses to review medical records, a psychotherapist consultant, a former Special Victims Unit sergeant to aid survivors of abuse, and a full roster of investigators and experts standing by to assist, all matters are examined thoroughly and treated with the utmost discretion and care.
Every case we take on is prepared for trial from day one. We advance all costs of investigation and experts, and clients owe nothing unless we recover compensation on their behalf.

Thomas Giuffra has spent his career representing survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking, including in cases involving Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Sean Combs, and Dr. Darius Paduch. He has recovered more than $250 million on their behalf, building a practice known for treating every survivor's story with the seriousness it deserves.
That commitment starts with trauma-informed representation. A psychotherapist consultant and a former Special Victims Unit sergeant work alongside the legal team, so survivors have support that goes beyond the courtroom. Many who once believed their window to come forward had closed can still file a claim under New York's Child Victims Act and Adult Survivors Act.
