As a personal injury attorney, Steven J. Malman has dedicated his entire legal career to protecting the rights of injured persons and helping them obtain the largest financial recovery possible for their injuries. That is why he founded the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman and Associates, P.C. in Chicago, Illinois in 1994.

He is committed to fighting for the rights of injured victims and holding liable the negligent parties accountable for their actions. He does this by offering his personal injury and workers' compensation clients the best legal representation available and aggressively pursuing their claim to obtain the best result possible for each case. Steven established his law firm with these objectives in mind and has built a legal team and staff that have the tools, experience, talent, dedication, and resources to get the job done right.

Steven believes that all injured persons have a right to quality legal representation—regardless of whether they have the funds to pay for this kind of service. This is why he is such a big advocate of the contingency fee system. You will only pay for his services if he obtains a collection for you, with all payments coming from your collection amount and never from your own pocket. He believes that every person who is injured because of another party's negligence has a right to financial compensation so that he or she can recover from their injuries, pay their medical bills, and get on with their lives.

Steven considers personal injury law to be his true calling and the only career he has ever wanted to pursue. While working for a medium-sized Chicago firm after graduating from law school, he amassed so many personal injury clients that wanted his representation and protection that he founded the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. so he could provide them with the kind of legal representation and client service that they deserved and needed.

Daniel Lauber has been handling the most challenging land-use cases for decades. The skills developed in over 24 years of winning zoning approval for such LULUs (Locally Unwanted Land Uses) as group homes, halfway houses, and recovery communities have translated well to winning zoning approval for commercial uses adjacent to residential areas and multi-family housing in communities known for their resistance. Mr. Lauber's background as a city planner enables him to better understand and anticipate neighborhood objections -- and devise ways to prevent them. Mr. Lauber also practices Fair Housing law, especially for group homes, halfway houses, and recovery communities for people with disabilities. He has frequently served as a legal and planning consultant to jurisdictions to bring their zoning for group homes into compliance with the nation's Fair Housing Act.

Mr. Lauber has also served many times as an expert witness in zoning and fair housing cases before zoning boards and in court.
