Attorney Allan Siegel: 30+ Years of Legal Excellence & DC Trial Lawyer of the Year

(Opening Scene – Gentle Music)

Allan Siegel:
“Tradition plays a big role in this firm. I walked into this building, this house at 1232 Seventeenth Street over 30 years ago, and we are still here today, still fighting for people.”

“I felt that when I first walked into this building. I said, this is what I want to do, this is where I want to be.”

“The lawyers here at Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel have always been at the forefront of changing law. Not every law firm will understand new legal challenges, like rideshare accidents involving Uber & Lyft—but at this firm, we do.”

“I’m actually on the Executive Committee of the Rideshare Litigation Group of the American Association for Justice. That means I help lead a national organization that teaches other attorneys how to handle Uber and Lyft accident cases.”

“I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland. My father was a lawyer, so I’ve always been around the legal profession, watching him work and inspiring me to pursue a career in law.”

“This year was especially meaningful for me—I was named DC Trial Lawyer of the Year. But what made it truly special was celebrating with my family at Nationals Park—I’m a huge Washington Nationals fan, so receiving the award there was an unforgettable moment.”

“I care about what I do because I get to wake up every morning knowing that I’m helping people. Clients come to us in their worst situations, after tragic events, and they trust us to fight for them.”

“When I first joined this firm over 30 years ago, I saw a dedication to helping people in ways they couldn’t help themselves—and that’s why I’m still here today, still fighting for justice.”
