Gregory Pajak

Hard work, communication, and honesty are essential to success in any field—especially law. I learned the value of hard work while putting myself through college and law school, working in my father’s small grocery store in Hamburg, NY. There, I met and spoke with thousands of people from all walks of life. I realized that while everyone is different, all deserve to be treated with courtesy, dignity, and respect.

After law school, I joined a civil litigation firm that handled cases for insurance companies. I eventually became a partner and spent over 15 years representing insurers and defendants in personal injury lawsuits and trials. During that time, I saw firsthand how insurance companies handle cases and the strategies they use. It became clear to me that the average person didn’t stand a chance in such a conflict.

In 2007, I joined Cellino Law, formerly Cellino & Barnes, to fight for injured individuals rather than insurance companies. Today, as a managing attorney, I handle my own cases while also working with the other attorneys to ensure the firm provides outstanding service and care for our clients.
