Cory R. Dalmata, a founding partner at Dalmata, Maloy, & Burke, LLP in Schenectady, NY, has been named to the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. This marks the fourth consecutive year Dalmata has received this honor, reflecting his sustained excellence in advocating for injured clients.
The recognition from Best Lawyers is significant because it is based on a rigorous peer-review process. For over four decades, the publication has relied on confidential evaluations from fellow attorneys rather than marketing influence or paid listings. This year, more than 30 million evaluations were analyzed, and only about 5% of lawyers in the United States are selected for the list. This selectivity underscores the credibility of the award and the high regard in which Dalmata is held by his peers.
Dalmata's practice focuses on plaintiff's personal injury cases, where he has secured numerous multimillion-dollar recoveries for his clients. His strategic approach and attention to detail have made him a trusted advocate for those who have suffered harm. He graduated from Northwestern School of Law of Lewis and Clark College in 2006 and is licensed in New York State and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. He is an active member of several bar associations, including the Capital District Trial Lawyers Association, and has served as president of the Schenectady County Bar Association.
The firm, Dalmata, Maloy, & Burke, LLP, offers a full range of legal services, including personal injury, car accident, and criminal defense. With over 30 years of combined experience, the firm is well-regarded in the Capital Region for its responsive communication and strong client representation. Dalmata's individual recognition enhances the firm's reputation, signaling to potential clients that they can expect top-tier legal guidance.
This honor is particularly important for individuals seeking legal representation after an injury. It provides an objective benchmark of an attorney's skill and reputation, helping potential clients make informed decisions. As Dalmata continues to be recognized by Best Lawyers, it reinforces the message that the firm is a reliable choice for those navigating complex personal injury claims.
