Chet Lukaszewski, P.C.


In January 2008, after four years with Jeffrey L. Goldberg’s office as an Accident Disability Pension and Social Security Disability litigator, and three years with the renowned Insurance Defense firm Ahmuty, Demers & McManus, Chet Lukaszewski formed Chet Lukaszewski, P.C. The mission of the firm is to use the extensive experience and knowledge base gained by Mr. Lukaszewski thus far in his career, and to parlay an exemplary level of litigation success, into an aggressive and highly personal level of representation for a client base that will never exceed the firm’s capabilities. Mr. Lukaszewski has learned the value of client contact and interaction and refuses to compromise the firm’s ability to ensure its clients the utmost in personal service. At Chet Lukaszewski, P.C., Mr. Lukaszewski himself will return your call, write your legal papers, and appear with or for you in Court or elsewhere, if need be.

During his final three years at Jeffrey Goldberg’s office, Chet Lukaszewski successfully litigated (wrote legal papers and argued before the Court) 50(+) Accident Disability Pension Article 78’s, as well as 2 Appellate Division cases.* To the firm’s knowledge, no other law office or individual had as much success in this area of law during this time.

  

Legal Scales

During that period Mr. Lukaszewski also possessed a Social Security Disability record which exceeded the average national success rate. Mr. Lukaszewski’s article on the struggles of 9/11 Rescue Workers in the City pension systems was published in the Nassau County Bar Association’s Literary Journal (read article by clicking on tab to left). While working at first the Long Island and then the New York City office of Ahmuty, Demers & McManus, he worked under the firm’s highest level of partners, including well renowned attorneys such as Mr. William Ahmuty, Mr. Fred Simpson and Mr. James Edwards. During this time he handled a variety of cases, including premises liability, auto accident, construction site litigation and insurance coverage matters.

It is Mr. Lukaszewski’s intent to utilize his pension experience and particularly his litigation success, to seek the most fair and thorough evaluations possible within the pension systems for clients. It is the firm’s opinion, that without the power of the Court behind a ‘3/4’s pension’ attorney, they are essentially simply a pension consultant. It is Mr. Lukaszewski’s belief that based on his proven litigation track record, the City and the Pension Funds will be more hesitant to force his clients into the Courts than those of other firms, thereby presenting them with the greatest chance of success within the pension system. Notes also, the firm’s rates take into consideration that all clients will not require Court action, and charge on a work performed basis, rather than a set flat fee. Moreover, there is no substitute for experience in Social Security Disability Law, which Mr. Lukaszewski has gained through years of handling said cases and attending countless SSD hearings all across New York State (during his final two years at Jeffrey Goldberg’s office, Mr. Lukaszewski appeared at the majority of the firm’s Social Security hearings). In addition, Mr. Lukaszewski has experience in Applicant Disqualification and Civil Service Commission matters, and will continue to handle such cases. Also, his time at A.D.M. and the tutelage he received and experience he gained, will allow Chet Lukaszewski, P.C. to provide top rate representation to its personal injury clients as well.
