Gloria Allred

"I was honored to meet in person many of the survivors of Mohamed Al-Fayed. They were and are an inspiration to me. They were victims, and then survivors and have now become fighters for change. It is overdue for them to win justice, and I support them in their efforts."

Gloria Allred is a founding partner of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg, a law firm that handles more women's rights cases than any other private firm in the United States. Inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2019, Allred has won countless honours over her five-decade legal career for her pioneering work on behalf of women's rights and victims of discrimination. She has represented survivors in many of the most high-profile sexual abuse cases in modern history, including 33 women who accused Bill Cosby and multiple victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Allred received Lifetime Achievement Awards from The National Trial Lawyers and the National Organization for Women, and the President's Award for Outstanding Volunteerism from President Reagan in 1986. She is founder and president of the Women's Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, author of Fight Back and Win: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Injustice, and subject of the 2018 Netflix documentary Seeing Allred. A three-time Emmy nominee, she was described by President Barack Obama as "one of the best attorneys in the country."
