Sharif Gray

I’ve learned that if you want real justice for your clients, you can’t default to the easy path. You take the big swings. You commit. You believe. And when the pressure spikes, you move toward trial—not away from it.That mindset has defined my career.I tried cases as a U.S. Army JAG Officer, as a Drug and Vice Prosecutor, and now as a personal injury trial lawyer. There is nothing more professionally exciting to me than preparing for trial, and nothing more meaningful than standing up for the people who put their trust in me.I care deeply about this work, and my record reflects that. Here are a handful of results from the last few years:– $20M verdict for a client who was abused by a caregiver at a residential psychiatric facility. – $10M verdict for a client who suffered catastrophic injuries in a head-on collision.– $2.7M settlement for a client with a broken femur and a brain injury after the defense contested liability and causation.– $2M verdict for a client who suffered herniated discs from a failed railing at a library.– $1.5M verdict for a client who required a second knee replacement after a fall at a retail store.– $1.25M policy-limits settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury and severe orthopedic injuries in a head-on crash.– $840K settlement for a client who suffered a traumatic brain injury after being assaulted by a bar’s bouncer.What drives everything I do is my belief that it is our responsibility as trial lawyers to:– Hold the responsible individual or corporation fully accountable,– Make our communities safer by preventing future harm, and– Secure compensation that recognizes the full and fair value of what was taken from our client’s health and quality of life.“I was told Sharif was one of the best lawyers in town, but I didn’t realize I was also getting one of the best human beings. We won the case, and his impact was felt by everyone in the courtroom. I’ll never forget what he did for me and my family.” — Myra G.“I co-counseled a major case with Sharif, and he and his team were perfect partners. A generational talent with a natural rapport with juries—smart, hardworking, and a true team player. He cares deeply about his clients and the work. I can’t recommend him enough.” — Maureen F.You can feel fear.
