Winning Cases: Our Long Island Case Results
When you’re facing a legal challenge, whether it’s a criminal charge or personal injury claim, the stakes are incredibly high, affecting your freedom, finances, and family. In these critical moments, you need a dedicated advocate with a proven history of securing successful case results in Long Island, NY. At Schalk, Ciaccio & Kahn P.C., we believe in transparency and are proud to share our law firm achievements. Below, we’ll walk you through why these results matter and highlight some of our key victories.
Why Case Results Matter
Reviewing a law firm’s past case results is important for several reasons. It provides tangible proof of their experience, skill, and dedication. Here’s what a history of positive results tells you about a firm:
- Experience in Action – A list of successful cases shows that the attorneys have not only theoretical knowledge but also practical, hands-on experience in the courtroom and at the negotiating table.
- Negotiation Skills – Many cases, particularly in personal injury, are settled out of court. Impressive settlement amounts are a testament to a lawyer’s ability to negotiate effectively with insurance companies and opposing counsel.
- Commitment to Clients – Behind every successful case is a story of a client whose life was positively impacted. These client success stories are the ultimate measure of a law firm’s dedication.
Highlighting Our Criminal Defense Victories
In criminal law, a positive outcome can mean the difference between a prison sentence and freedom, or a felony conviction and a clean record. Our team has achieved numerous criminal defense victories, handling everything from misdemeanors to serious felonies:
- Dismissal of Charges – We’ve successfully argued for the dismissal of charges in cases involving drug possession, assault, and theft by identifying procedural errors, insufficient evidence, or violations of our clients’ constitutional rights.
- Not Guilty Verdicts – Our attorneys have secured not guilty verdicts in complex trials by presenting compelling evidence, delivering persuasive arguments, and skillfully cross-examining witnesses.
- Reduced Charges and Sentences – When a dismissal isn’t possible, we’re often able to negotiate significantly reduced charges (e.g., a felony reduced to a misdemeanor) or lighter sentences, minimizing the long-term impact on our clients’ lives.
Civil & Personal Injury Case Results
Some of our notable achievements include high-dollar settlements in complex personal injury cases, such as car accidents, construction site injuries, and medical malpractice. We’ve also secured significant awards in slip and fall cases by holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions. Additionally, our team consistently outmaneuvers insurance companies, negotiating settlements that are far higher than the initial offers.

Our successful track record isn’t accidental. It’s the result of a disciplined and client-focused approach that we apply to every case we handle. Here’s what sets our method apart:
- Thorough Investigation – We begin every case with a deep dive into the facts. This involves gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting experts to build the strongest possible foundation for your case.
- Strategic Planning – We develop a legal strategy based on the unique circumstances of your case and your specific goals. Our attorneys identify the strengths and weaknesses of the case and prepare for potential challenges that may arise.
- Open Communication – We believe that an informed client is an empowered client. Our team maintains open and honest communication, keeping you updated on the progress of your case and explaining your options at every stage.
- Aggressive Advocacy – Whether at the negotiating table or in the courtroom, we’re relentless advocates for our clients. We’re not afraid to challenge the opposition and fight for the best possible outcome.
