At least one attorney from the firm has been selected to this prestigious list every year since 1997. However, this is the first year that all three partners have been selected in the same year.

He has lectured at seminars sponsored by a number of professional legal organizations and has been selected to the Washington, DC *Super Lawyers *list each year since 2011. - **[Joseph Cammarata](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/attorney-profiles/joseph-cammarata/)** – Partner Joseph Cammarata is a dual Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer who has become nationally known and respected for his success in complex and high profile civil litigation, including a landmark Supreme Court case in which he secured a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court of the United States against a sitting President.

We congratulate our Partners on their latest achievement, which continues to solidify their reputation among the most highly regarded personal injury lawyers in Washington, DC.
