I cannot recommend Zaid Alsaraf/Malman Law highly enough. As a senior woman who suffered a serious…read moreslip and fall, I was initially brushed off by local attorneys because I didn't have major, catastrophic injuries--even though the fall on my back caused me real pain and distress as I was laid up for weeks. Stress from incoming ER medical bills and aggressive insurance callers representing the big box store was building daily. From our very first meeting, Zaid and the entire team were a breath of fresh air. They were full of energy, took my situation seriously, and made me feel genuinely cared about and validated. It took literally 10 minutes at most before the whole team rallied behind me! They took complete control of my case, shielding me from these insistent callers and answering all my concerns quickly and professionally. Thanks to their tenacity, we reached a highly successful settlement within months. If you want a legal team that treats you like a human being and fights hard for you, look no further. Even though my case was most likely not a major win for them - they treated me as if I was a high-profile client from start to finish.

This company should not be in operation a true sham airing every hour on WGN. I had a very worst…read moreexperience with Malman Law handling my workers' compensation case. From the beginning, communication was extremely poor between the attorney, front office staff, and myself. Calls and emails were often not returned, and I was regularly left without updates on my case. There were also issues with paperwork and communications being mishandled. At times, I was told I was being untruthful about not receiving communications, which was frustrating and unprofessional. Documents and emails were also sent improperly, raising concerns about organization and confidentiality. What was most disappointing was feeling like I had to do much of the work myself just to keep my case moving forward. I constantly had to follow up, track information down, and push for progress instead of feeling properly represented and supported. Overall, the experience caused unnecessary stress during an already difficult situation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this law office to others seeking workers' compensation representation. I still ended up filling a complaint against the attorney who handled my case, paralegal and the owner with the ARDC because of the way I was treated by them all during my case and how they refused to assist me with information about the case afterwards.

He was very empathetic, quick to respond to all my emails, knowledgeable, let me go to my own doctors so I knew I was getting good care that I needed, settled my case in a timely manner, and I'm happy with my settlement. I would not hesitate using this law firm! They were phenomenal to work with.

Stephen handled all the details of my case with professional competence, persevering through the delays and frustrations brought on by the effects of Covid and by the wheels that sometimes turn slowly in the aftermath of a crash. This allowed me to concentrate on healing without stressing about legal issues. I was also given opportunity to share my emotional struggles and felt that my voice was heard in the midst of what, at times, felt like chaos. I highly recommend Stephen L. Hoffman. Caring, persistent, skilled, patient, thorough.

I have nothing but good things to say about this law firm. As per other reviews, I can't comment as…read moreI have never worked with the other mentioned attorneys. I worked solely with Elise Yu and Thomas. I am very grateful to have found them. After Thomas reviewed my evidence and clearly saw I was not in the wrong he called the attorney immediately and spoke to him. Let me just say that Thomas put the opposing attorney in his place (in a good way). He's very knowledgable, kind and knows what he is doing. Since the other side really has no case against me, I've been in contact with Elise the most as we are just playing the "waiting game" until they come back with a counter offer or something (I am not a lawyer, so I don't know all this legal jargon.). On top of being super responsive with all my questions, Elise has also helped me with a few other things as a courtesy which speaks volumes to her work ethic and service. No matter what time I have e-mailed her, she always responds right away in the morning. She is very kind, compassionate and really wants to help. Now, I have not had to go to court and won't have to, so I can't speak on that. What was done was mostly communication, back and forth talks about settlements and all the other legal stuff/laws lawyers need to do and know. I would recommend this law firm to anyone in a heart beat (in fact, I already have!). Especially Thomas and Elise. Those two together are great! I've left many reviews before, but this one is one of the few I felt the most compelled to write as dealing with the law is totally different than dealing with a restaurants service. I rarely give out 5 stars, but they truly deserve it!

They accepted my case, were incredibly unhelpful…read moreand did nothing for months before sending me an email stating they decided they aren't going to take the case and recommend I try a firm in another state with zero explanation as to why I should do that. If my case wasn't something they could work, they could have told me that months prior and given me a chance to work with someone else. Now I have to start at square one with a case that's months behind. A little communication about what's happening would have been nice. An explanation as to why they wasted so much of my time would have been even better. They did neither. Shame on this firm and their incredibly poor customer service. I'd give zero stars if that were an option.

I thought my case was going to be very easy, being a nurse, I decided to open my disability case on…read moremy own -- wrong! I had no idea that SSA will determine you able to work, depending on your past employment history, your credentials, and your academic preparation. As nurses, we tend to write a lot. Word of Advice: DON'T! Here I thought I was making it easier for SSA to approve my case, but no, it was the other way around; they were going to use all this information against me, and thus my reason for recurring to Mr. Feingold & his Associates. I have dealt with attorneys in the past, for different reasons (i.e., my education as a paralegal; life experiences, etc), but I had never met an attorney who was as patient with me as Mr. Feingold. I am currently having issues with Depression and Anxiety, and when Mr. Feingold & I spoke on the phone, I would ramble on and on. He was always so polite in re-directing me and getting me back on track. In summary, Mr. Feingold took my case after I had already (and in my opinion), screwed up my application, by being so honest... but he took it, and gave me the confidence I was looking for, that he could win my case. His patience towards me, just threw me off, because I'm used to attorneys always on the clock, counting minutes, words, emails, and all other communication methods used, to charge the client. Mr. Feingold is NOT at all like that. Eventually, we met at the Administrative Law Judge's office in Evanston, and being that we had to deal with two "Experts," I felt a bit nervous about the whole situation, but Mr. Feingold knows how to manage his clients, his staff, and the staff at the ODAR in Evanston. The two Experts involved at my "hearing" were in agreement that I could return to work at a desk job (i.e., counseling, clinic, etc). Judge, Robert C. Asbille was also my angel! I had never met such an amiable and empathetic judge! In summary, the judge ruled in my favor, and a couple of weeks later, I received my SSA award letter, and the disability amount was going to be retroactive to approximately 15 months ago. I am currently waiting for my first check, but Mr. Feingold and his Associates did a fabulous job with my case, and I highly recommend them. In our case it was a bit amusing that the judge had trouble pronouncing some of the medical terminology, but we all have issues when we encounter a territory which we're not familiar with. In my case, Disability law is not my cup of tea, but I did learn a lot from Mr. Feingold, as we went along through the Disability filing process. Hiring him on a contingency basis, to represent me in my case, was the best decision I ever made in my life!
