Chaffin Luhana law firm marks 15 years
WEIRTON — Founded in 2010 with four team members, Chaffin Luhana has grown to a team of more than 100 including 19 attorneys, paralegals and support professionals across offices in New York, Connecticut, Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
The firm has resolved thousands of cases, collected hundreds of millions of dollars for clients and taken on leadership roles in important national litigations including co-lead counsel in the Uber passenger sexual assault MDL litigation, PEC in the Paraquat MDL, PSC in the hair relaxer marketing sales practices and products liability litigation and PSC in the Camp Lejeune water contamination litigation.
“Our vision has always been and continues to be to level the playing field for our injured clients and hold wrongdoers accountable,” said Eric Chaffin, co-founding and managing partner. “To see how far we’ve come — from those early days to where we are now — is a testament to our dedicated team and our shared commitment to Doing Good by Doing Right. We remain humble and deeply grateful for our clients’ trust in us.”
Recent milestones reflect the firm’s commitment to innovation and service. In 2024, Chaffin Luhana surpassed 1,000 five-star client reviews, was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies and was honored as the 2024 CrispX Firm of the Year. Attorneys at Chaffin Luhana regularly receive public recognition, including multiple listings in Super Lawyers.
“Our clients are at the heart of everything we do,” said Roopal Luhana, co-founding partner. “Each five-star review represents a life we’ve helped change for the better, and being recognized nationally only motivates us to continue elevating our advocacy and service. We remain deeply appreciative of our clients’ trust in us and will always work tirelessly to honor that trust.”
Key moments in the firm’s journey include resolving more than $120 million in cases for its clients in its first year, appointment by federal and state courts to key leadership positions in national mass torts. As the firm enters its next chapter, it remains focused on continued team building, professional growth and leveraging cutting-edge technology to improve outcomes for injured clients.
Throughout its history, the firm has consistently prioritized giving back to the communities it serves. Signature initiatives include the annual Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, which has provided more than 4,000 turkeys to those in need; the 10K sandwiches food drive to support families during the COVID-19 pandemic; and the employee adopt-a-charity program, where the Chaffin Luhana Foundation makes annual donations to organizations nominated by the Chaffin Luhana team members. Additionally, the firm hosts an anti-distracted driving scholarship essay contest for prospective college students.
In 2022, the Chaffin Luhana Foundation partnered with Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris for the scholarship and Student of the Year award, and turkey giveaway. These efforts reflect the firm’s guiding principle of Doing Good by Doing Right, extending its impact far beyond the courtroom.
“Our commitment remains steadfast,” said Chaffin. “We look forward to growing our team and broadening our reach, never losing sight of what drives us: Doing Good by Doing Right.”
