Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

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. Read some of his law firm's success stories to see how Steven continues to fulfill these goals and objectives for his personal injury and workers' compensation clients.

He is licensed to practice in Illinois at both the state and federal levels and is a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Chicago Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Trial Association.

Steven has represented over 5,000 injury clients in every kind of personal injury and workers' compensation cases that there is, including truck accidents, police brutality/civil rights violation cases, car accidents, wrongful death cases, nursing home neglect and abuse cases, dog bite accidents, construction accidents, medical malpractice claims, slip and fall accidents, cerebral palsy injuries, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, train accidents, and products liability cases.

His clients come from all over Illinois, including Chicago, Oak Park, Harvey, Maywood, Blue Island, Bellwood, Berwyn, Homewood, Cicero, Oak Lawn, Riverside, South Holland, Westchester, Hazel Crest, Chicago Heights, Sauk Village, Olympia Fields, Matteson, Dolton, and Lansing in Cook County. He also represents clients in Lake County, Will County, and DuPage County.

Steven genuinely loves his job. When he isn't too busy negotiating a settlement for one of his clients or strategizing with his legal team on how to successfully win an injury lawsuit in court, he is constantly thinking of ways he can make the world a better place through personal injury law.

I am a native Chicagoan, and moved to DuPage County in 1972.

I attended DePaul Law School full-time in the evening, while working for one of the major trust companies in the Chicago Loop. I therefore received extensive training and experience in Estate Planning, Probate and Tax matters, and have practiced in those areas for over 30 years.

My first employment after law school was with a Chicago law firm that specialized in Real Estate and Real Estate Development matters. I worked for them for several years, adding extensive experience in both residential and commercial real estate transactions and commercial real estate development to my legal expertise.

As a private practitioner in DuPage County, I continued practicing in these fields, and added representation of clients in divorce and other domestic and family related matters. I have now represented hundreds of clients relative to dissolution of their marriages. Several judges have also appointed me as Guardian ad-litem or attorney for children in troubled situations or in complex divorce cases.

I feel that my expertise in each of these areas compliment the other. For example, complex divorces often involve real estate or business holdings, with the accompanying valuation and ownership issues. Sometimes, a trust for the benefit of children is appropriate. In doing estate planning, there is often the need to plan appropriately for the second marriage situation. Real estate clients also often need to appropriately plan their estates, and to take title to their home in a manner that is consistent with their ultimate estate desires.

I was admitted to practice in the courts of Illinois in 1971 and the U.S. Federal Court in 1971, and admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court in 1992. I am a member of both the Illinois and DuPage County Bar Associations.

I have been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Glen Ellyn for some years, and am presently the President of the club. As such, I recently accepted, on behalf of our club, the Family Shelter Services Civic Partner of the year award. We work closely with Family Shelter Services and other organizations to provide benefits to children in need.

My primary hobby is the study of history, particularly of the American Civil War period. I am the past president of two Civil War Round Tables (Chicago and Salt Creek, which meets in Glen Ellyn, Illinois), and a member of three Round Tables (Chicago, Salt Creek and Milwaukee). I have also given presentations, on a number of topics, to round tables throughout the midwest.
