Bringing lawsuits against corporations, railroads and insurance companies, in and around the Southwestern United States, Ed Pfiester, holds an esteemed position in the ranks of trial attorneys and is respected by both his peers and his adversaries as a lawyer who can get the best monetary damages recovery possible under all the circumstances of any case he undertakes.

My lofty respect for and confidence in the integrity of Mr. Pfiester is matched only by my fear and trepidation in regards to the skills Mr. Pfiester brings to advancing plaintiffs' causes … I have known Mr. Pfiester for more than ten years, and knew of his powerful and creative lawyering in behalf of [injured plaintiffs] even before I knew him. I have been involved in FELA litigation and have devoted my career to the defense of [personal injury cases] since 1977. My dedication to and longevity in [such personal injury] litigation, however, is far surpassed by that of Mr. Pfiester." - From the sworn affidavit of attorney Craig J. Whitney, filed in court while defending a corporate defendant in a major lawsuit.
