What We Do

Chaffin Luhana exclusively represents injured plaintiffs in trials and appeals, offering qualified and experienced trial representation and top-line client service. At Chaffin Luhana we are working to help restore the ideals of our civil justice system and put the focus back on the plaintiffs, where it belongs. We understand from our own experiences the struggles of working class men and women and pride ourselves in giving the little guy a voice in the courtroom. Our motto is "Doing Good by Doing Right." Our clients are not simply a means to an end for our firm; achieving success for our clients is our end goal. We believe that only by helping each client achieve his or her goals with litigation will we be truly successful.

Our experienced attorneys handle litigation involving:

• Dangerous Drugs
• Defective Medical Devices
• Securities
• Whistleblowers

During the course of their careers in the national plaintiffs’ bar, Mr. Chaffin and Ms. Luhana, along with co-counsel, have been involved in recovering over $900 million for injured consumers, shareholders and small businesses.  The recoveries are remarkable because they involved: class and individual actions; large corporations and banks as defendants; a wide array of subject matter; and resulted in large settlements.  Some of the notable recoveries include:

• $586 million settlement in the In re IPO Securities Litigation against the largest investment banks on Wall Street;
• $240 million settlement in the Guidant heart device multidistrict litigation;
• $100 million settlement in the Medtroinc heart device multidistrict litigation;
• $35 million in a national consumer fraud class action for purchasers of defective IBM hard drives;
• $17.5 million settlement with Dell and Dell Financial Services on behalf of defrauded consumers who were victimized by a “bait and switch” financing scheme;
• $11.1 million settlement in the nationwide ETS litigation for teaching candidates who were inaccurately scored on PPLT tests;
• Nearly $1.5 million pre-filing settlement for two investors whose broker invested them in unsuitable and high risk investments, including ETFs, that resulted in a swift recovery of nearly $1.5 million (significantly more than market-adjusted out-of-pocket losses); 
• Seven figure settlement for a Para-Olympic skier in an NASD arbitration against her former broker for unsuitable investments;
• Nearly $1 million recovery in New York Supreme Court for an investor who suffered significant losses as a result of fraudulent analyst research reports; and
• Trial counsel for a California corporation in the Electronic Article Surveillance market in a David-and-Goliath type action for anti-competitive advertisements in violation of the Lanham Act in California federal court, which settled for a confidential amount on the eve of trial.
