Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate, Civil Defense Litigator, and Managing Partner of Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC
Camille Reifers is a Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate and Managing Partner of Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC, a national civil litigation firm built for complex, high-exposure defense work. With more than 25 years of trial experience and more than 20 jury trials first-chaired in state and federal courts, Camille Reifers has built a career on handling matters other attorneys hand off — cases where the stakes are real and the margin for error is essentially zero. Insurers, railroads, and corporate clients routinely seek her out to step in as first-chair on their most demanding litigation.
Managing Partner, Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC
As Managing Partner and equity member of Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC, Camille Reifers heads a civil litigation firm with a multi-state footprint and a singular focus: defending clients when it matters most. Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC is not a general practice firm — every matter the firm takes on is rooted in civil defense, often in categories where the outcome carries significant financial and reputational weight for the client.
Civil Defense Litigator
Camille Reifers' practice as a civil defense litigator spans some of the most consequential categories of civil law, including FELA and railroad matters, trucking defense, insurance defense, wrongful death claims, toxic exposure litigation, eminent domain, and construction law disputes. She has tried matters to verdict in state and federal courts across the country, secured defense verdicts where opposing counsel sought millions, and obtained dismissals and summary judgments that never reached a jury. When settlement is the right outcome, she negotiates from a position of credibility — because the other side knows she will try the matter if it doesn't settle.
Board Certified Civil Trial Advocate (NBTA)
Camille Reifers is Board Certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA), a credential held by only a small fraction of practicing attorneys. NBTA board certification is a rigorous, peer-reviewed process that evaluates an attorney's actual trial experience, professional reputation, and demonstrated competence in civil litigation — not a directory listing or a peer nomination.
NARTC Leadership and Faculty
Camille Reifers' standing as a recognized authority in civil defense litigation, particularly in the railroad space, is reflected in her leadership within the NARTC. She currently serves as President-Elect and Executive Committee Member, having previously served as Regional Vice President. She has also spent years as a faculty member at the NARTC trial college, teaching trial skills to litigators from across the country.
Employment Law and Whistleblower Actions
Beyond her railroad and general civil defense work, Camille Reifers handles defense-side employment law matters, including whistleblower actions, Equal Pay Act disputes, and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims, such as wage and hour disputes and collective action matters in federal court. She brings the same standard of preparation and advocacy to these matters that clients have come to expect across her broader practice.
Education and Bar Admissions
Camille Reifers earned her J.D. from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 1998 and her undergraduate degree from Mississippi State University in 1996. She is admitted to practice before, and is a member of, the Tennessee Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and The Mississippi Bar — a footprint that reflects the multi-state reach of her civil litigation firm and her trial practice.
