Brothers Dean, Nicholas, and Stephen Liakas said they have always cared deeply about supporting their community and looking out for others since they were kids growing up together in New Jersey. It felt natural then, they said, to pursue careers in personal injury law and combine forces by opening up their own firm to use the law to advocate for the underdog.
“We want to help the little man and hold people accountable,” Stephen Liakas said. “We decided, why don’t we just open up our own personal injury firm and do it?”
And so Liakas Law was born. Many personal injury firms focus on settling matters and shy away from taking cases to trial, the Liakases said. That’s the opposite of their firm’s philosophy, which the brothers described as taking on big, difficult cases — especially ones that could change the law, public policy, or a community’s material conditions — and litigating them to a win at trial.
