With more than 25 years of trial experience, Camille Reifers has built a reputation as one of the most trusted civil defense litigators in the country. She has first-chaired more than 20 jury trials in state and federal courts, handling matters that other attorneys hand off—the kind of high-exposure litigation where the stakes are real and the margin for error is essentially zero. Insurers, railroads, and corporate clients routinely seek her out to step into matters that demand an experienced, prepared first-chair.
As Managing Partner of Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC, she spearheads a civil litigation firm with a national reach and a singular focus: defending clients when it matters most. Her bar admissions span multiple states, and her federal court admissions cover districts and circuits across the mid-South and Midwest.
Camille Reifers is Board Certified as a Civil Trial Advocate by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) — a credential that only a small fraction of practicing attorneys hold. NBTA board certification isn't a directory listing or a peer nomination. It's a rigorous, peer-reviewed process that evaluates an attorney's actual trial experience, professional reputation, and demonstrated competence in civil litigation. Earning it means something. She is admitted to practice before the Tennessee Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and The Mississippi Bar, and her academic foundation was built at the University of Mississippi School of Law, where she earned her J.D. in 1998, and Mississippi State University, where she completed her undergraduate degree in 1996.
As Managing Partner and equity member of Reifers Holmes & Peters LLC, Camille spearheads a civil litigation firm, having built her practice over decades. The firm reflects her approach to litigation: focused, defense-side, and built for complex matters.
Camille Reifers’ practice is centered on civil defense litigation in high-exposure matters. She has secured defense verdicts in some of the most challenging civil matters — grade crossing accidents, wrongful death claims, trucking liability, toxic exposure, and more. Where other attorneys see risk, she sees a claim e to be tried. Her clients don’t retain her because the situation is easy. They retain her because it isn’t.
