What Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen does

Grossman Roth Yaffa Cohen, doing business as Grossman Yaffa Cohen (GYC), is a privately held plaintiff-side litigation firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida. The firm represents individuals and classes who have suffered catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, or other negligence, operating across five integrated practice areas: medical malpractice, personal injury, complex litigation (including class actions, MDL, and securities litigation), wrongful death, and appellate work. GYC has recovered over $1 billion in cumulative settlements and verdicts, including landmark outcomes such as a $410 million Bank of America overdraft settlement, a $37 million Florida Power & Light wrongful death verdict, and representation in the Surfside condominium collapse and Parkland school shooting litigations.

The firm is built on a contingency fee model — clients pay no upfront legal fees, court costs, or expert fees, and the firm is only compensated if the case is won. GYC employs 51–100 staff including named partners Stuart Grossman, Andrew Yaffa, Gary Cohen, Alex Arteaga-Gomez, and Jonathan Pavsner, supported by an in-house team of investigators, paralegals, trial lawyers, and credentialed medical investigators (RNs and a DNP). Distribution is sales-led and direct: free case reviews are offered via phone (800-206-4004) and website form, with flexible client meeting options including home, office, hospital, or virtual, and Spanish-language services. Marketing channels include content marketing, SEO, LinkedIn, email newsletter capture, and earned media coverage in outlets such as NBC 6 South Florida, Miami Herald, and Spotlight on America. The firm holds no external funding, operates no proprietary technology platform, and has no disclosed AI capabilities; competitive differentiation rests on talent credentials, brand reputation, in-house medical investigation capacity, and an extensive expert witness network.
