Highly recommend Dmitriy

I cannot recommend Dmitry highly enough. During one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced, the wrongful death of our mother due to neglect, including severe bedsores and a serious UTI, Dmitry provided not only exceptional legal representation, but genuine compassion and support. From... the very beginning, he treated us with kindness and respect. Speaking with Dmitry never felt intimidating or overly formal; it felt like talking with a trusted friend who truly cared about our family and what we were going through. At the same time, we always felt confident that our case was being handled with the highest level of professionalism and legal expertise. He guided us through every step of the process, making sure we understood our options and always felt supported. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, our family received a strong settlement in a surprisingly fast timeframe. More importantly, Dmitry helped our family find some sense of closure during an incredibly painful period. His compassion, professionalism, and commitment to justice made all the difference for us. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about his clients, Dmitry of CHEREPINSKIY LAW FIRM P.C. is the person you want on your side. Our family will always be grateful.

Compassion! Compassion! Compassion!

Compassion is one of the greatest qualities you can find in an attorney. Dmitriy is the best! It was a difficult time for my family, which is why it’s critical that you have someone on your side that will fight for you when you don’t have the fight in you and that is what Dmitriy was to our family. H...e did what he said and gave us the best outcome. If you are looking for an attorney to defend you in a case involving bedsores, he's your guy. We had no knowledge of the process and what to expect but I have learned a lot thanks to Dmitriy.

Posted by Kory | May 17, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Elder Abuse/ Nursing home neglect

On behalf of my family I would like to say that Dmitriy Cherepinskiy law firm was incredible helpful in our time of need. The emotion involved with Nursing Home Neglect, especially as it relates to a parent, is so difficult to comprehend. Our family trusted the Nursing home to do their job and ...to provide the necessary basic care. Unfortunately for our family that was not the case. We chose Dmitriy Cherepinskiy law firm based on feedback and reviews. And we were THANKFUL WE DID. We shared our specifics with Mr. Dmitriy Cherepinskiy who understood what we were going through and stepped up and took total control. He was compassionate, listened with intent to our situation, and took action. This in turn made us feel better someone was looking out for our best interest. If you are dealing with elder neglect or nursing home abuse of your loved one I would strongly recommend that you reach out to Mr. Cherepinskiy. He really understands.

Great Auto Injury attorney

Was referred to Dmitriy by a family member. It was the best thing that could have happened to me during such a difficult time in my life after my auto accident. Right from the beginning he made me feel comfortable. And, it continued throughout the entire process. He found me the best Doctors and ...therapist and made sure I was confortable with them. He's professional, very knowledgeable. He was very attentive, and addressed all my concerns as they arose and went out of his way to clarify any doubts. I am very happy with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend him. I have referred him to all my friends, family, and clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Dmitriy was opposing counsel against me on a medical malpractice case and was as professional as they come, especially for representing health care providers that I was suing. I have every expectation and belief that Dmitriy will make a great plaintiff's lawyer now that he has decided to make the best decision of his life and leave the dark side."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Cherepinskiy put up a tireless defense in a recent case I had with him. Since I was the opposing attorney, it wasn't convenient for me or my client (it's easier when everybody just agrees with me) but he met and exceeded the call of duty for his client."
