"I have known Don Chaikin for 21 years. He is more than my attorney, he is a family friend. He has always been there when I needed him. I feel at home here, they would never let me down. Whenever I need legal advice, I pick up the phone and call. It's like calling a friend."

"Mr. Chaikin and Mr.Sherman are my favorite people, not just because they are my attorneys, but they take care of me. With them it isn't about the money; it's about the principle. I have been through quite a bit of trauma, and I feel good about letting them handle my business. They get things done. I am not just a client, I am a person first."

"I don’t leave home without them…..Chaikin and Sherman.

On a beautiful April day almost two years ago, I left home with my American Express card to go to our local Costco to do a simple errand. Much to my surprise, and literally out of the blue, I was hit head-on by an out of control SUV traveling in the opposing traffic that had become airborne, crossed the median, and forcefully hit my car. Only by the grace and protection of God, did I survive this accident and am living to write this today. However, I did become not only a victim of multiple injuries, but also a victim of an underinsured motorist.

During the past two years, as I focused attention on my injuries, medical care, and endless rehabilitation, our attorney, Joe Cammarata focused on obtaining a fair and adequate insurance settlement to cover my costs and ensure my future medical care. This was conducted in a caring and professional way with absolutely overwhelming success…. This was the only part of the whole ordeal that was truly painless!!!

Now, it is not just my American Express card that I leave home with…..I leave home with the phone number of my Chaikin and Sherman attorney, Joe Cammarata, penciled in on the back of my insurance card that is carried in my glove box. For me, adequate protection on the roads not only means having good automobile insurance, it means having an excellent attorney just a phone call away."

"We have been working with the lawyers at Chaikin & Sherman for over 25 years. They have always treated our family like friends - not clients. They are experienced and competent, and really involve you in the process so that you not only know what is happening in your case, but understand it. We have referred family and friends over the years, and will continue to do so. We know they are in good hands with Chaikin & Sherman as their lawyers."

"I was referred by another local attorney to Joe Cammarata. During the initial phone conversation with Joe, he suggested that I might shop around for somebody else. In the subsequent 2 weeks, I made numerous telephone calls to other attorneys. Finally, I called Joe back to say, "I believe that YOU are the right man for this job!" When my case was settled, there was NO doubt in my mind that indeed Joe Cammarata was exactly the person that I needed representing me! Thank you Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata, & Siegel P.C. and thank you Joe for excellence in service, communication and outcome!"
