Blake G. Goldfarb

Blake G. Goldfarb is a personal injury lawyer at Harris Keenan & Goldfarb. He earned his B.S. at the University of Florida, where he graduated summa cum laude in 2007. He earned his J.D. at New York Law School, where he was the Managing Editor for the Media Law & Policy Journal. He received the Professor Robert Rosenthal Award for Excellence in New York Practice and graduated with high honors in 2010.

Growing up, Mr. Goldfarb wasn’t interested in practicing law. People encouraged him to become a doctor, but after realizing he didn’t like chemistry and biology, he changed his career path. He started working at Harris Keenan & Goldfarb in the summer of 2010, one day after taking the bar exam.

Mr. Goldfarb eats, sleeps, and breathes personal injury law. He loves what he does and can’t imagine doing anything else with his life.

Among Mr. Goldfarb’s many accomplishments, Super Lawyers named him a Rising Star every year from 2015 to 2022. His jury verdicts and settlements appear annually in the Top Personal Injury Verdicts published by VerdictSearch and TopVerdict. He is also a member of the New York County Lawyers Association, the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

Before turning 24 and within three years of being admitted to the bar, Mr. Goldfarb successfully briefed and won three cases before the New York Court of Appeals. Additionally, he briefed and argued over 50 appeals before the appellate courts in New York, helping to shape the future of personal injury law.

Mr. Goldfarb spends his free time with his beautiful wife, Allison, and their two adorable children, Liv and Jordan. He is also an avid sports enthusiast and cyclist.
