I was referred to Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel in December 2018. When I called the office, I was received in a very professional and friendly manner, which was always the case each time I called. Allan Siegel, my attorney, was professional as he listened to all of my concerns and addressed each one of them. I felt very comfortable with him. He assured me of his support and did negotiate a satisfactory win. I highly recommend him and his colleagues. Quality customer service is important to me and I was impressed with all they did for me. Thank you Allan - I appreciate all that you did for

I was involved in an accident and reached out to Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel for advice. Allan took the time to have a detailed and candid conversation about my case even though it was 9 pm. His advice was incredibly helpful and thorough even though it is unlikely that his firm would take the case at this time. This firm is trustworthy and professional and will provide measured and transparent guidance. This is the kind of firm that you would want representing you over other firms in this industry that may mislead you or have ulterior motives.

As a personal injury attorney in MIchigan, I’ve now had the opportunity to refer several cases and work firsthand with Allan Siegel, so I’ve seen his work, responsiveness, client communication and results first-hand. I’ve also worked with hundreds of lawyers around the nation, so let me cut to the point - Allan is one of the very best attorneys I know and this law firm does a fantastic job for its clients. Not only are the results outstanding, but just as important is the client communication, caring, and responsiveness. Unless you are an attorney yourself, you can’t really appreciate how

If you need an attorney that will tirelessly represent your interests and make sure you end up with an equitable outcome during a difficult time, then Allan Siegel is the attorney for you. Allan made sure I was fully informed throughout a complex process and brought his outstanding negotiating and advocacy skills to my unique set of circumstances, in a process that can be very contentious. Great firm and great attorneys.

I know the word “lawyer” is usually proceeded by an expletive but this firm is different. I have been a client of this firm for years. I have recommended them to numerous family members and they have always been professional, courteous and driven to provide favorable results for all of their clients. Hands down the best law firm in this area for personal injury. Aside from the actual result, the way clients are treated is top notch. Every step of the way, the client is kept abreast, catered to and treated like an actual
