Redefining What It Means to Be a Trial Lawyer
Dawn Pinnisi’s legal journey began with immediate momentum—one week after being admitted to practice law in New York State, she was already in Kings County Supreme Court picking a jury. Her rise through a prominent Brooklyn litigation firm saw her mastering the courtroom while often being one of the few women in the room.
In 2016, she co-founded Varcadipane & Pinnisi, PC, where she now leads the firm’s personal injury department. Her track record is nothing short of formidable: a $5 million settlement against a surgeon who did not take the time to do a thorough examination and instead performed an unnecessary surgery, a $3.5 million structured settlement for an infant with Erb’s Palsy, a $3.25 million settlement against a Physician’s Assistant who failed to diagnose an impending heart attack, forcing a dangerous stroller off the market, and various multi-million dollar settlements for victims of motor vehicle accidents throughout New York and New Jersey. But for Ms. Pinnisi, it’s not about the numbers—it’s about impact.
More Than Just Verdicts—A Voice for the Vulnerable
Ms. Pinnisi has made it her mission to shift how people perceive personal injury law. VPlaw is built on ethics, empathy, and a fierce belief in their clients’ right to justice. This client-first philosophy is rooted in compassion and clarity.
