He received his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Houston Law Center in 1990.

Mr. Riff spent the first 9 years of his legal career as a trial attorney for Griggs & Harrison (since acquired by Strasburger) concentrating in business litigation and insurance defense. In 1999, Mr. Riff founded a new firm, and while he continued his business litigation practice, he began representing individuals who had been seriously injured as a result of automobile and trucking accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, defective products and aviation accidents.

Mr. Riff continues to practice in these areas, and has had a great deal of success in trying those cases that could not be resolved by settlement. In addition to being a trial lawyer, Mr. Riff is a graduate of the AA White Dispute Resolution Institute, and has mediated countless cases over the last two decades. He is a member of the American Association for Justice (formerly ATLA), the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, and the Houston Trial Lawyers Association.

Licensed attorney in Texas and Puerto Rico.

Ms. Bultrón obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Administration from the University of Puerto Rico in 2008 while working full time at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  In 2009, she enrolled in law school at the InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico. Her passion to giving back to her community led her to serve in the Legal Service Clinic during her last year of law school.  While serving alongside a supervising professor, she provided legal assistance to low-income individuals on a wide range of civil matters including family and special education law.

Ms. Bultrón worked as a solo practitioner in Puerto Rico during her first year as a licensed attorney.  She later joined the Vilella-Janeiro Law Firm in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico as an associate attorney where her practice was concentrated in insurance defense, including construction law and professional responsibility claims against engineers and architects, among other civil matters.

In late 2017 after Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, Ms. Bultrón decided, with her family, to move to Houston, Texas. In early 2018, she started working as a paralegal at the Riff Law Firm while preparing for the Texas bar exam. In 2019 she passed the Texas State Bar and became one of a very small percentage of attorneys licensed in both Puerto Rico and Texas.  Since then, she has worked at the firm representing clients injured in various personal injury and civil litigation matters.

Gaily is fluent in Spanish and English.
