Rory is a dedicated trial lawyer serving the Tampa Bay area, with a deep commitment to defending the rights of the criminally accused and pursuing justice for personal injury victims. Throughout his career, Rory has represented countless clients, advocating for individuals facing serious charges and plaintiffs who have suffered significant injuries. He sharpened his litigation skills as an Assistant Public Defender in Tampa's 13th Judicial Circuit before founding Safir Injury & Criminal Defense Law, where he continues his advocacy against powerful institutions, including Big Insurance and government prosecutors. His diverse experience enables him to tackle complex cases, from auto accidents and premises liability to high-stakes criminal defense, including charges of DUI, drug crimes, and organized fraud.
Rory’s dedication to justice is shaped by a rich tapestry of international experiences, including work at an international war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands, studying in Madrid, and volunteering in Colombia. His journey took a pivotal turn in Alice Springs, Australia, where witnessing the struggles of Aboriginal communities within an unfamiliar justice system fueled his resolve to defend those marginalized by powerful systems.
