DC-based personal injury law firm Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C. is pleased to announce that Washingtonian Magazine has recognized firm partners Joseph Cammarata and Allan M. Siegel as “Top Lawyers” in the December 2024 issue, available to readers now. Every year, the magazine’s team sorts through thousands of nominees to select the most elite DC-area lawyers, highlighting the best of the best. Placing on the list is a notable feat as there are over 80,000 lawyers currently in the DC region.
This is not their first time being included in the list; rather, it’s a continuing testament to their achievements. Cammarata has been consistently recognized by the Washingtonian every year the magazine has done the survey since 1997, and Siegel has shared the same honor since 2004. Due to their sustained excellence and recognition, Cammarata and Siegel also received the Washingtonian’s Lifetime Achievement Award, available only to attorneys who have been Top Lawyers for over 15 years.
How Washingtonian Magazine Makes Their Selections
The selection process for the “Top Lawyers” list is a meticulous, detailed endeavor. First, the magazine's team sent a survey to lawyers throughout the area, asking them to recommend fellow attorneys they respect and consider exceptional in their respective legal areas. Once the surveys are collected, the magazine’s team verifies the accomplishments of standing nominees before carefully reviewing their professional backgrounds. They look at qualifications, peer reviews, overall contributions to the legal field, and more. The aim is to ensure that each selected lawyer is not only successful in their practice but also highly regarded by other legal professionals.
The diligence of the selection team guarantees that the final list represents the best of the best among DC’s lawyers, reflecting a combination of excellence, professionalism, and peer acknowledgment. It is truly a noteworthy recognition in a region rich with legal talent.
Honoring Joseph Cammarata and Allan M. Siegel
A dual board-certified civil trial attorney, Cammarata’s legal prowess and his creative problem-solving skills have contributed to incredible wins throughout his career, including a unanimous decision from the Supreme Court in favor of equal access to justice for all, even against tough opponents like the President of the United States.
In addition to his legal work, Cammarata is dedicated to the community, having served as President of the Brain Injury Association of DC, Inc., and drafted critical legislation for the Athletic Concussion Protection Act of 2011. His leadership roles extend to serving on various boards and committees focused on public safety and youth violence reduction.
Allan M. Siegel shares this commitment to advocacy and community services. Siegel has built a career characterized by diligent pursuit of justice for those harmed due to negligence or wrongdoing as a result of car, truck and bus crashes, premises liability and medical malpractice. His approach involves a combination of thorough investigation and a compassionate understanding of clients' needs, tackling even the toughest of cases — including many turned down by many of his peers.
Siegel is a leader in local and national organizations having served as the President of the Trial Lawyers’ Association of Metropolitan Washington, DC (DC-TLA) and currently serving on the Board of the Governors of the American Association for Justice. He has also been included every year, since 2011, in Washington DC publication of Super Lawyers, and has been named to the Super Lawyers Top 100 list since 2018. Siegel is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, an achievement earned by only 3% of all attorneys in the U.S.
