About

Farhan Ali is a Partner at Galfand Berger, LLP where he champions those harmed in automobile collisions, premises negligence, and construction site injuries. Since joining the firm in 2016, he has secured substantial recoveries through tenacious and empathetic advocacy—confidently taking on deep-pocketed insurance carriers and corporations. Farhan has successfully guided numerous cases to verdict in trials and arbitrations.

Along with Galfand Berger partners Michael Malvey and Brad Smith, Farhan fought to achieve a landmark win at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In Bourgeois v. Snow Time, Inc., the Court ruled unanimously (7-0), ensuring justice for our catastrophically injured client and expanding the rights of injured individuals throughout Pennsylvania.

Farhan has been recognized as a Pennsylvania Rising Star every year since 2022 by the independent survey group, Super Lawyers. Only the top 2.5 percent of Pennsylvania attorneys, who are under the age 40 or practicing 10 years or less, receive the Rising Star honor.

In addition to his work on behalf of his clients, Farhan serves as the Vice President of the Board of Directors for HIAS Pennsylvania, a nonprofit that provides legal aid to refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers of all backgrounds. He is also a board member on the Temple University's Law Alumni Association, supporting alumni through career and community initiatives. Additionally, he volunteers as an Arbitrator for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.

Farhan earned his Juris Doctor from Temple University's James E. Beasley School of Law, graduating from its prestigious Trial Advocacy Program with a Certificate in Trial Advocacy and Litigation. In law school, he served as Secretary of the Student Bar Association and President of the South Asian Law Student Association. He also participated in the Wills for Heroes Program, drafting legal documents for first responders to ensure that their families are protected in the event of a tragedy. In 2016, Farhan received Temple Law’s Lena L. Hale Award for his outstanding extracurricular contributions.

A resident of Philadelphia since 2013, Farhan loves reading, traveling, listening to historical podcasts, and spending quality time with his wife and son. Farhan is fluent in Hindi and Malayalam. He is admitted to practice in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
