Grossman Yaffa Cohen (GYC)

At Grossman Yaffa Cohen, we believe that truth, and relentless dedication wins. Since our founding in 1988, we have been relentless in the pursuit of justice for victims of catastrophic accidents, medical malpractice, negligence, and corporate misconduct. For more than 38 years, we have earned a reputation as one of South Florida’s most respected and accomplished law firms, securing compensation for our clients approaching $2 billion while driving systemic change that protects others from suffering similar tragedies.

Our Mission

Our mission goes beyond obtaining financial recovery. We fight passionately to hold wrongdoers accountable and to shine a light on the systems that enabled their negligence. In many of our cases, this commitment has resulted not only in justice for our clients but also in meaningful changes to laws, corporate policies, medical procedures, and safety standards that improve lives across Florida and beyond.

A Record of Excellence

GYC is widely recognized for taking on some of the most complex and high-profile cases in recent history. Our attorneys have guided individuals and families through their most challenging moments, standing up for those harmed physically, emotionally, and financially by catastrophic events. Notable cases include:

• Champlain Towers South condominium collapse
• Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting

Through cases like these, our firm has not only delivered significant verdicts and settlements but also influenced real-world reforms. Our work has led to improvements such as mandatory pediatric cardiology reviews of children’s EKGs, bans on police chokeholds in Miami-Dade, requirements for law enforcement presence at major construction sites, SWAT oversight for certain police warrants, and the removal of toxic pesticides in the agricultural industry.
