Curtis M. Fifner

Attorney Curtis M. Fifner is a third-generation personal injury attorney. However, whereas the two generations of lawyers before him represented the big guys — the insurance companies, physicians and hospital organizations — Mr. Fifner stands for the plaintiff. Today, as an attorney with Elk & Elk Co., Ltd in Dublin, Ohio, he advocates for victims of general personal injury, medical malpractice and work injuries, and uses his skills, knowledge and resources to secure the maximum amount of compensation on their behalf.

Mr. Fifner attended the Centre College in Kentucky, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Government. From there, he went on to the Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law, from which he received his law degree. Upon graduating from the latter, Mr. Fifner joined a plaintiff’s firm, where he spent 14 years gaining invaluable first-chair trial experience, the likes of which most young attorneys never receive access.

Due to his immense trial experience and commitment to becoming a better and more effective advocate, Mr. Fifner received an invitation to apply for membership with the American Board of Trial Advocates. Today, he remains one of the youngest members of the ABOTA Ohio chapter. Among other notable accomplishments, the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys has named him a “Top 10 Under 40” lawyer.

When Mr. Fifner is not practicing law, you can likely find him spending time with his wife and daughters. He also enjoys playing golf, cheering on his beloved Cleveland sports teams and advocating for the right to trial by jury at the Ohio General Assembly.
