I went to a law firm and was told that I didn’t have a case because the damage to my car was under $600. A friend recommended Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. He provided me with the number to call Mr. Chatman, the claims manager for this firm. Mr. Chatman came out and met me the same night that I called him and explained the entire process that I would be going through. I made an appointment with Mr. Chatman to start the process. Mr. Chatman is very knowledgeable in this field of work. The insurance company did not want to compensate what I and the law firm felt was acceptable. I was then introduced to Allan Siegel, who proceeded to move forward with taking the case to court. Attorney Siegel was very adamant about getting me the best settlement. He was able to get me the maximum amount that was awarded to me. I had a very high medical bill due to my accident, which my health care plan was asking for reimbursement. Attorney Siegel was able to negotiate with the health insurance company, allowing me to only have to pay them back a third of what I owed. This allowed me to walk away with money in my purse. Attorney Siegel is a very intelligent, knowledgeable, and respectful individual. I would highly recommend Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. to my family and friends. Attorney Siegel’s assistant Diane was very helpful as well. I know I have worried her with phone calls regarding confirming my appointments and paperwork, but she would always be professional when answering my calls and returning them. I would like to thank Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. and their staff for being very professional and caring.” ## — Torkwase Akinalana Practice Areas: [Car Accidents](https://www.chaikinandsherman.com/blog/practice-area/car-accidents/) - Attorney's Involved: Allan M.
