Anthony A. Ciaccio, Sr. is the head of the personal injury department at Schalk, Ciaccio & Kahn. Anthony’s vast experience as both a trial attorney for a major insurance company and then for a prominent plaintiff’s personal injury firm, gives him the insight to advocate for clients who are injured through the negligence of others.

He tried numerous cases while working as an Assistant District Attorney with a tremendous success rate and built a reputation as a fierce courtroom advocate among his peers and colleagues.
Following his time in law enforcement, Anthony applied his trial skills to the field of personal injury, learning the inner workings of the insurance industry from both sides of the aisle. Anthony worked for a major insurance carrier, becoming an expert in how insurance companies value cases, as well as avoid paying out on claims. Anthony then joined a premier personal injury law firm where he applied this knowledge and honed his negotiation skills, fighting for compensation for his clients’ injuries. Anthony’s unique experience working on “both sides the fence” ensures that you quickly get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Anthony has recovered millions for his clients through settlements, arbitration, and verdicts. Anthony has a reported million-dollar verdict and several notable settlements. Anthony prides himself on trying tough cases and winning when other lawyers feel there is no chance for victory.
