Bringing lawsuits against corporations, railroads and insurance companies, in and around the Southwestern United States, Ed Pfiester, a founding member of the Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys, holds an esteemed position in the ranks of trial attorneys and is respected by both his peers and his adversaries.

My lofty respect for and confidence in the integrity of Mr. Pfiester is matched only by my fear and trepidation in regards to the skills Mr. Pfiester  brings to advancing plaintiffs' causes in FELA litigation… I have known Mr. Pfiester for more than ten years, and knew of his powerful and creative lawyering in behalf of railroad employees even before I knew him. I have been involved in FELA litigation and have devoted my career to the defense of railroads since 1977. My dedication to and longevity in FELA litigation, however, is far surpassed by that of Mr. Pfiester." - From the sworn affidavit of attorney Craig J. Whitney, filed in court while defending a railroad in a major F.E.L.A. lawsuit.
