Regan Zambri Long Featured in Prestigious Lawdragon Article Highlighting Firm’s Commitment to Justice and Systemic Change

DC personal injury law firm Regan Zambri Long has been featured in a comprehensive profile by Lawdragon, a prestigious legal publication that recognizes the nation’s leading attorneys and law firms.

The article, “Where Law Becomes Justice: Regan Zambri Long’s Fight for the Plaintiffs,” examines the firm’s exceptional track record, current high-profile litigation, and unwavering commitment to holding powerful institutions accountable. The feature showcases the firm’s leadership in representing victims of the tragic January 2025 mid-air collision over Washington, D.C., where a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter struck American Airlines Flight 5342. Founding partner Patrick Regan leads the investigation into the crash, working alongside fellow partner Chris Regan to secure justice for victims and drive systemic change to prevent future disasters.

Built on Trust, Not Marketing

The Lawdragon profile emphasizes the firm’s unique reputation built on trust and referrals rather than advertising, with nearly every client coming through personal recommendations from fellow attorneys or former clients.

“We started this firm to champion victims, challenge corporate negligence and force meaningful change,” Patrick Regan told Lawdragon. “Not just compensation, but consequences.”

Founding Partners’ Specialized Expertise

The article highlights each founding partner’s specialized expertise:

Patrick Regan brings nearly four decades of personal injury law experience, securing one of the region’s largest wrongful death settlements at $77 million and developing unmatched expertise in complex cases involving government entities and federal aviation regulations.

Salvatore Zambri is nationally recognized for food safety and public health litigation, having obtained the largest settlement in D.C. history and successfully handling cases involving E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and other foodborne pathogens.

Victor E. Long, a former DOJ Civil Rights Division attorney, is noted for securing transformative verdicts that have changed industry safety standards and medical practices nationwide.

Next Generation Leadership

The profile also spotlights the firm’s next generation, with Chris Regan earning recognition as a rising leader among D.C.’s top trial lawyers. Working alongside his father on the firm’s most complex matters, Chris represents the continuation of the Regan family’s legacy of advocacy spanning generations.

Landmark Cases Drive Industry Change

The Lawdragon feature details several landmark cases that demonstrate the firm’s impact beyond individual client victories, including:

• Leading litigation in the 2009 Metro train collision that resulted in systematic safety improvements
