In 2014, I was hit by a car while crossing the street and suffered a broken arm and leg, among other things. Due to the severity of my injuries, I underwent several surgical procedures and endured months of rehabilitation. As a lawyer myself (and recognizing that he who represents himself has a fool for a client) I knew I would need competent, aggressive counsel to represent my interests. Familiar with Joe Cammarata’s reputation as a zealous advocate, I contacted Chakin, Sherman, Cammarata and Siegel within days of the accident. The very same day I contacted him, Joe came to the hospital to meet with me. From the moment I retained them, Joe and the firm took care of all my legal needs. Not only did they deal with the attorneys and insurance company on the other side of my case (which was to be expected), Joe and Eric McConnell successfully navigated through several issues I encountered with my own health and auto insurance companies. This allowed me to focus on my recovery and ultimately get back to work and the daily life I enjoyed before the accident, without the added stress of dealing with the legal wrangling involved in pursuing my personal injury claim. Initially concerned about a contentious, protracted legal battle, as a result of Joe’s skilled advocacy, we were able to amicably settle my case within just a few months of filing the lawsuit. This firm had my back throughout a very stressful period in my life. You could not ask for a better group of people in your corner than CSCS. In the event you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney, I highly recommend this law firm. Robert

Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. represented me in my automobile injury case. During my initial visit at the firm, I met with Mr. Allan Siegel and Mr. Rand Chatman. It was a pleasure meeting both as they made me feel quite at ease from the very beginning. During the entire process, I had full confidence in Mr. Siegel and his staff. I liked how he explained the entire process to me during our first meeting and then again as we were reviewing our options to bring the case to a favorable closure. Of course, I must also convey my appreciation to Ms. Megan Gibson and how hard she worked on my case. Behind her humble, friendly, frank, and calm demeanor lies a professional, highly skilled and a focused litigation attorney who fights for her clients with utmost tenacity to the end. It is only because of her persistent and consistent engagement with the parties involved that she brought my case to an amicable conclusion. There is no doubt in my mind that she has great passion for her work. And last but not the least, I must also convey my thanks to Rand Chatman for making it easy for me to submit all necessary artifacts for my case.

After a car accident in 2011 I was left with major migraines, plenty of medical bills, and an insurance company playing games with my case. I had a lawyer, whom in 2 years had done nothing to help resolve my case; I was in quite frustrated! That’s when I was recommended to Mr. Allan Siegel, and from there things just got better. Everyone one in the firm made it a point to come introduce themselves to my wife and I, and we were all ways greeted with a warm welcome. Allan jumped right into handling my case, and had made more movement with things in the first 2 weeks, than my previous lawyer had mad in 2 years. I was always kept in the loop as to what was going on with my case, which put me at ease. NEVER was there a point where I felt stressed with Allan handling my case. My case settled outside of court with very favorable results. Allan and his staff treated me with a level of kindness and professionalism that all businesses should aim to provide. I Highly Recommended Allan Siegel!!!

I want to provide this recommendation for Allan Siegel because I believe that people need to know that great counsel still exists. Allan is ethical, warm, kind and helpful. He is also a great advocate for his clients getting the best benefit for them possible. I sought him for help in recovering lost wages from an auto accident that left me with a concussion and head trauma. It is difficult and daunting to face the hurdle of suing another person when you, yourself, are the injured party, as I was in this case. Allan was a helpful guide throughout the process. It can be intimidating and frightening and Allan was wonderful at least in two ways. He told me just how difficult it would be, and he was supportive throughout the entire process. I definitely recommend him! But more than that, my faith that young, earnest, intelligent people are still working for the benefit of the ‘little guy’ has been re-affirmed.

I had suffered head injury with subdural bleeding due to a collision with a truck, and required the assistance of a law firm which had the expertise and experience to deal with such cases. I write this to express my appreciation and thank the law firm of Chaikin, Sherman and Cammarata for diligently handling my personal injury case in a very professional and businesslike manner, true to their picture on the firm’s website. The awards, peer recognition and their track records already speak volumes about their legal expertise but this personal note from a grateful client is a reflection of their ability to communicate effectively and keeping you informed about the strengths and weakness in the case. I am especially grateful to Attorney Joseph Cammarata who ran the crucial last lap, and skillfully convinced the other party with evidence and witnesses to agree to a fair and just settlement.

Allan Siegel was my attorney on a car accident case where an individual ran a red light & I was injured with lifelong effects from the crash. Once we received the offer from the insurance company, he informed me of the pros and cons of accepting the offer. He was willing & IS still fighting for me on this case. I would HIGHLY recommend this AMAZING group of attorneys to anyone that has an accident case. They are friendly (the entire staff shockingly remembers my name everytime I am in the office). They make you feel like you matter as a person & take time to explain what your rights are. Hopefully I will never have to use them again, but IF that were to happen again, I would turn to them immediately. I cannot say enough great things about this firm. I give them 2 thumbs up. :)

Allan M. Siegel was very responsive to me, as well as thorough, and creative in his advice. He has an amazing ability to engage a client while making you feel comfortable and relaxed. I had a very positive experience each time we met together to discuss my case. His demeanor and engaging personality enabled me to develop a trust and confidence in his ability to achieve the best results for my case. I feel there is no better lawyer who could advise a client. He is a superb lawyer who also worked well with the opposing counsel to achieve the best results for me. I could also see how much the judge respected and admired him. I highly recommend Allan M. Siegel to anyone who is looking to be represented by an ethical, very successful, class act attorney.

Dear Prospective C.S,C&S client: Stop searching any further for a law firm to help you with your case! I sustained a shoulder injury a few years back which required surgery. I was so glad to find this firm. I am glad that Mr. Siegel was my attorney. This firm knows what they are doing so let them do the driving. Most insurance companies play hard ball these days and will try to short change you at just about every point unless you put up an effective fight. Allan Seigel fought for me better than I could ever have myself. This law firm has a great reputation and they treat you like you are important to them. Thank you Mr. Seigel, Mr. Chatman and all of those at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Seigel that helped me in my case.

Was referred to them by another attorney after I was in a bike accident when I was hit by a cab. I was initially reluctant to call a lawyer after the accident but my brother, an attorney, told me it was the right thing to do and there was no harm that could come from it. It was good advice. Allan Siegel handled my case -- honest, transparent and straightforward the whole way through. The firm got me top-flight medical care, Allan fought hard with a recalcitrant insurance company (State Farm) and ultimately we settled for a fair figure. It was more than two years from the time of the accident to settlement, but I felt like I had a very strong ally and am thankful for their work.

I was badly injured when struck by a car while crossing with the right of way in DC. Seeing they were highly rated in the Washingtonian magazine, I contacted the Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel firm the following day after I got home from the hospital. They reached back out to me very quickly and had me in their office the next day. This helped greatly in my recovery, as they handled all the legal aspects with all of the different groups involved. I did not have to stress over the details I did not understand how to navigate. I was able to focus on getting better. If you have been injured, I would not hesitate to contact this firm. You will only be helping yourself.

A car accident in December of 2010 landed me in the hands of Allan Siegel, after the insurance company of the responsible party refused to settle and my originating attorney whom I had total confidence in, was not able to represent me in VA. He assured me that he was placing me in good and capable hands. To this day, I am in awe of Allan Siegel and the phenomenal job he did, in not just handling my case but settling it out of court with positive results. He is an awesome attorney and cares about the welfare of his clients. He has a dynamic personality as well. If ever in a battle and in need of the Calvary.....Allan Siegel is your man.

Thank you to the Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel team. I put a special emphasis on the word "team" for a reason. From my initial meeting with my claims manager, Erik McConnell, to preparing for trial with attorneys Allan M. Siegel and Matthew W. Tievsky, and then to the settlement of my case, I felt respected and taken care of by a team of knowledgeable professionals. Every question was answered and every worry was addressed promptly. Choose Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel if you want a team of professionals who care about you and the best possible outcome of your case.

I hand -picked Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata and Seigel, based on their online reviews; and it was the best decision I could have made! Mr. Rand Chatman took the time to personally understand my injuries. They also worked diligently to resolve my issues and explained what was available to me; in order to close my case in a timely and manner. I was greeted warmly and dealt with professionally, throughout the entire process. Overall, I was impressed with their personal injury practices and continuous communication with me . Thank you so much, Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata and Seigel.

I truly appreciate the services provided by this law firm. As this was the first time that I utilized the services of an attorney, Siegel and McConnell provided outstanding support to ease my uncertainty. They assisted me throughout the entire process and made it very easy. The top notch service provided is second to none. They always had my best interest and very extraordinary in customer service. They also responded immediately to any questions or concerns that I had. I recommend this law firm for anyone that truly wants the best services.

Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. took care of all of the most stressful parts of being injured. It was nice to be able to heal while someone else organized and handled all of the paperwork, communication, and negotiation with the other party. I had a concussion, which made it very difficult to remember everything and keep track of what was important. It was relieving to both myself and my husband to hand all of this off this off to someone else to take the time to heal and get back to work.

I was very happy to have found this law firm and close my case with Allen Siegel. I was originally unhappy with the previous lawyer who I had assigned to take the case and I felt like I was not progressing with him. Allen was able to get things rolling and make the process pleasant and simple. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would definitely recommend this law firm. Its a very friendly atmosphere and you will be happy with the hard work and time they put into your case.
