About Chihak & Associates

Chihak & Associates champions the rights of individuals harmed by negligence, delivering tenacious representation in both personal injury and medical malpractice cases. With decades of trial experience and a commitment to securing maximum compensation, the firm provides exceptional legal counsel throughout Southern California and nationwide.

Chihak & Associates distinguishes itself through courtroom readiness and an unwavering refusal to accept inadequate settlements. Unlike firms that prioritize quick resolutions, this team is built on a trial-first approach. From auto accidents and catastrophic injuries to surgical errors and misdiagnoses, each case is prepared as if it will go before a jury—because justice should never be rushed or undervalued.

Chihak & Associates is led by acclaimed attorney Cynthia Chihak, an eight-time Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award recipient and one of Super Lawyers' Top 100 in Southern California. Under her leadership, the firm has handled some of the region’s most complex injury cases with integrity, precision, and a results-driven mindset.

Chihak & Associates prioritizes every client’s unique needs and circumstances, combining compassionate counsel with aggressive advocacy. Whether addressing brain injuries, paralysis, wrongful death, or defective products, attorneys work with leading medical experts and legal strategists to construct compelling, evidence-based cases.

Chihak & Associates operates on a contingency fee basis, ensuring access to top-tier representation without upfront legal costs. Legal fees are only collected when compensation is recovered, allowing injured clients to focus on healing, not finances.

Chihak & Associates is recognized not just for legal skill but also for its relentless pursuit of fair outcomes. The firm is widely respected for its transparency, trial acumen, and client dedication. With a record of favorable verdicts and national recognition, it remains a trusted resource for victims seeking justice in personal injury and medical negligence cases.
