Why I Do What I Do: Fighting for the Injured on the Treasure Coast

When people meet me, one of the first questions I’m often asked is: “Why did you decide to become a personal injury lawyer?”

It’s a fair question—and one I take seriously. I didn’t get into this line of work to chase settlements or clock courtroom hours. I chose personal injury law because I care deeply about justice, and I’ve seen how quickly everyday people can be taken advantage of after an accident.

Helping Injured People Navigate the Hardest Days of Their Lives

Living and working here on the Treasure Coast, I’ve walked beside people during some of the worst moments of their lives—car accidents, serious falls, wrongful deaths. These aren’t just legal cases; they’re human stories. Real people. Real pain. Real recovery.

What I’ve seen time and time again is this: when you’re injured, the odds can feel stacked against you. Medical bills come in fast. Work becomes uncertain. And insurance companies? They move quickly to protect their bottom line—not yours.

That’s where I come in.

My Job Is to Stand in the Gap

I’m not here to overwhelm you with legal jargon or make promises I can’t keep. I’m here to stand up for you, to speak plainly, and to do the work that helps you take your life back.

When you’re hurt, you deserve someone in your corner who knows the system and won’t back down. At Chatenka Injury Law, I make it personal. I take time to understand your case, your story, and what it’s going to take to get you the compensation and care you need.

Because to me, this job isn’t just about legal wins. It’s about making sure you’re heard, respected, and supported.

I Fight for My Community—Because I’m Part of It

I’m not some big-name attorney dropping into town for business. This is my community. I raise my family here. I shake hands with neighbors at the grocery store, support local events, and cheer from the sidelines at kids’ games.

When I take a case, I see the person behind the paperwork. You’re not just a client—you’re a part of the Treasure Coast, and that means something to me.

You Deserve an Attorney Who Cares

So why do I do what I do?

Because I believe in showing up when people need it most. I believe in doing right by my neighbors. And I believe that no one should face this kind of fight alone.

If you’ve been injured and don’t know where to turn, reach out. I’ll walk you through your options with honesty and respect. And if I can help, I will.
