Malman Law Ends 2011 with New Hires
The Chicago-based Law Offices of Steven Malman & Associates PC is ending 2011 on a high note, announcing the addition of new attorneys and new support staff to its already impressive roster.
Launched in 1994 with just its namesake founder, one secretary and one assistant, Malman Law announced this week the addition of several new paralegals and administrative staff. In addition to the four new attorneys added throughout the course of 2011, the firm now includes seven attorneys and over a dozen paralegals and administrative staffers.
?It was just me, my secretary and an assistant when I went into private practice 17 years ago,? noted Steven Malman, who first started practicing when he graduated from the School of Law at Loyola University-Chicago and passed the bar exam exactly two decades ago. ?I added my first associate a few years later, and then a second a few years after that. But things really started picking up a few years ago.?
The attorney partially credited a strong advertising program for the steady flow of business that ushered his firm through the Great Recession, not only facilitating but necessitating the staff escalations. All told, Malman Law has successfully resolved over 8,000 cases since 1994 (it boasts a 95 percent out-of-court settlement rate), and with this year proving to be the busiest in the firm?s history ? it took on and completed more cases, and collected a higher valuation of settlements, than ever before ? its founder specifically cited those marketing efforts.
Busy Pro Bono Year for Malman Law
The slogan of the Chicago-based Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates PC ? ?Protecting the Rights of the Injured? ? always speaks for itself, but it speaks loudest and clearest when attorney Steven Malman and his staff take on pro-bono cases.
The firm doesn?t have a specific pro bono division, but ?if we can help someone, we do it,? its namesake noted. While every client is entitled to Malman Law?s ?zero fee guarantee? ? there?s no fee unless and until client compensation is collected ? it has been known to offer services gratis to those who need it most.
In 2011, the firm handled more free-of-charge cases than ever before, citing not only the rights but the needs of clients stung by the arrows of the treacherous economy.
?With the recession just beginning to turn around, there are a lot of people out there in serious financial straits,? Steven Malman said. ?We?re always happy to see if we can help them out.
?We don?t always do it; it depends on the case,? he added. ?But the truth is, current and former clients tend to call us with various personal injury-related questions and other matters, and even if it?s something we don?t normally handle, we?re happy to see what we can do.?
