Our Clients’ Success Stories

Past results do not guarantee similar outcomes in future cases.

Cheriff & Fink represented a frozen custard company (the “Good Guys”) that was sued by a neighboring store in a strip mall complex in Westchester County. The neighboring store (the “Bad Guys”) claimed in its lawsuit (a third party claim) against the Good Guys that our client’s lease with the strip mall should be declared void. The Bad Guys also claimed that our clients discriminated against the Bad Guys on the basis of their ethnicity. As a result of this alleged conduct, the Bad Guys sought punitive damages from our client. Through creative lawyering and taking full advantage of the Court’s conferences before referees, Cheriff & Fink properly delayed the depositions of the parties in the lawsuit until after a decision was rendered by the Court that dismissed all claims against the Good Guys. Our client’s legal fees were kept to a minimum with the ultimate result, the dismissal of a lawsuit that could have been very costly to the Good Guys.

Cheriff & Fink represented a tradesman who was attacked by a dog while he was working in someone’s home. Our client suffered injuries to both of his hands that required stitches and physical therapy. We settled this dog bite case for our client for $100,000.00.

Our client was injured following an automobile accident that occurred in Chappaqua, NY after the defendant car made a left turn at an intersection. Our client, a school psychologist, suffered a herniated disc, post-traumatic stress as well as trauma induced fibromyalgia. The case settled for $110,000 before a jury was selected.

Our office recently settled a car accident matter for a client who suffered fractures to his humerus and distal radius. Our client was an internist who entrusted our office to prosecute his case with Cheriff & Fink because of our reputation in handling these types of matters. We commenced the action in Federal Court. Following a mediation less than a year after the accident occurred, the action settled for $750,000.00.
