Specialty: Personal Injury
Chaikin LaPenna, PLLC is one of New York’s preeminent boutique personal injury trial firms headed by trial attorneys Ian M. Chaikin and Evan M. LaPenna. Their tenacious preparation, aggressive litigation approach and compassion for their clients make them the obvious choice for victims of serious and catastrophic injuries who are seeking justice. Both Chaikin and LaPenna are well regarded litigators who represent injury victims directly or as trial counsel to other firms who rely upon the trial expertise of Chaikin LaPenna, PLLC to secure the best possible results.
“We are a firm with powerful resources” says Chaikin, who is licensed in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Florida, and who is fluent in English, Spanish, and Hebrew. “From the moment our firm is retained on a case, we give it our undivided attention while working with the top experts, specialists, and investigators to prepare for victory at trial. No matter the case, we will never be outworked, outfought, or outspent.”
Partner LaPenna adds that “our goal is not only to serve the best interest of our client, but to serve the interest of our client’s family as we recognize that a serious injury affects the entire family.”
Chaikin and LaPenna both understand that the stakes are high when their clients come to them after their lives are forever changed as a result of another’s negligence. It is for that reason that they believe in always working with a sense of urgency and passion to ensure the ultimate results for their clients. Chaikin says that “we approach each case with personal attention. The consequences of the accident are personal to our clients and they are personal to us. If the lawyer does not take the case personally, he or she has no business representing the client.” LaPenna adds that “we fight for justice until justice prevails and our clients receive the highest possible recovery.”
In light of their tenacious approach to justice, it comes with no surprise that both Chaikin and LaPenna are regularly honored among New York’s leading personal injury lawyers. Still, for Chaikin and LaPenna, the truest sign of their success has been their clients’ satisfaction with their services. “We take pride in calling our clients our family, and we zealously represent them as such. We want to make our clients’ lives better in any way we can, so we’re there for them long-term - helping them overcome whatever hurdles they’re facing in life ” Chaikin says.
