Firm: Park Chenaur & Associates, Inc., P.S.

When my partner and I opened our practice in 1999, we knew we wanted to do something that we enjoyed and that made a positive difference in people's lives.  Our personal injury practice allows us to do this.  I feel privileged every day to practice law with my friend.  I also feel honored to share in the lives and the personal stories of our clients.  Unfortunately, most of our clients have suffered tremendously as a result of injury.  It is rewarding to know that we have the skill and the experience to be of assistance and help them through a difficult time.. One of the reasons I decided to follow the law is my love for reading.  I enjoy the reading, writing and analyzing involved in case analysis. I am fascinated with the medical aspect of our work.  But the most important part is always the human connection, and our most significant role is in telling our clients’ stories.. To share a little about myself, in my free time I love spending time with my family and friends.  My husband and I were married in 1997, and our 12 year old daughter is the absolute light of our lives, although we have allowed her to accumulate too many pets! When not working, I enjoy reading all kinds of fiction. I like fast cars and snowmobiles. My favorite place in the world would be a deserted beach on the north shore of Kauai.
