Practice Areas & Specializations
Camille Reifers attorney concentrates her practice on civil defense litigation in high-exposure cases where the stakes are substantial and the value of a seasoned litigator is critical. Her areas of practice include transportation defense, insurance defense, trucking defense, wrongful death defense, toxic exposure litigation, eminent domain and construction law, and whistleblower and employment litigation under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Title VII, and the Equal Pay Act.
Across these disciplines, Reifers is known for thorough case investigation — including hands-on site visits to client facilities — and a willingness to take cases to verdict rather than simply managing toward settlement. She maintains a strong record of pre-trial dismissals and summary judgment results, and regularly advises clients through complex, multi-million dollar negotiations. Most recently, she secured a defense verdict in a high-exposure civil case tried in Cook County.
