I encourage you if you want the job done right HERE IT IS this is the Law Firm. Thank you Mr. Seidman and Team for your hard work. I am truly blessed by him.

Seidman Margulis & Fairman, LLP Law Firm was professional and dedicated to my case. The communication was always clear and kept me updated every step of the process. The team had my best interest in mind. Give them a chance if ever needed, and you'll not regret it. Thank you for your excellent services.

I had a consultation with Steve, and I really appreciated his honesty and professionalism. He took the time to review my situation and was upfront about the challenges with my case since it’s an older one. Even though we didn’t move forward, he gave me clear advice and helped me understand my options. It’s refreshing to meet a lawyer who values honesty over just taking a case. Highly recommend for anyone looking for straightforward, trustworthy legal guidance.

Be careful with Steve Seidman. He lies and pretends to care only to get a settlement out of your case. He will worry about bigger cases while forcing you to settle with the first offer. He does not like challenges and looks for easy payouts. If I were you, find a family friend who’s a lawyer! If you do take these guys, do not settle without leaving your medical open. They will force you to close the medical for back injuries because it’s too hard to fight it. Leaving the medical open means you do not have to use your settlement money for your future doctor visits and any surgeries and/or treatments. Another thing is most lawyers work with the competing lawyers and know them well. They will work with each other on what’s the best case scenario for themselves instead of fighting it in court. You’ve been warned.

My husband has was a client with the firm for many years. Every single case was handled exceptionally well and the outcome was very worth the time and effort. Thank you Steve Seidman & Melina Fairman.

This firm was recommend by a family friend who apparently had a good experience with them. I think they will care about your case if there is a large payout expected, but I think you should avoid this firm if your case is not potentially worth more than 1M. I was in a car accident, hit by an uninsured driver. This firm charges a higher percentage than most (at least 40%) and assigned me their most junior associate, who seemed inexperienced and/or overworked. It took five years to get anywhere with his case, because this lawyer worked at a snail’s pace, was constantly frazzled, repeatedly making excuses that he was working on several other cases (more important than mine, I gathered) and I had to call or email him at monthly to get any updates on my case. He dropped the ball on several fronts, telling me he sent requests for documents from medical providers and my former employer (for proof that I had missed work and lost income) only to find out that over two years after he supposedly submitted requests, he actually had not! These documents were extremely important evidence in my case. The bottom line is that I was treated like an afterthought or even a burden by this firm, my payout was severely delayed, and I feel that I overpayed for the subpar service I received. At the very end, when there was a delay in the payment check being distributed, I did get a call from one of the partners, apologizing and explaining that this lawyer (not so junior after five years?) could have/should have worked faster by delegating duties. I was so tired and mad at this point, that I didn’t point out that it’s also a partner/owner’s duty to supervise and properly train and mentor their associates. Bottom line: if you don’t have a big money case guaranteed to pull in millions, avoid this firm. If you do have a big money case, they may help you, and will charge more than most others.

I'm writing to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding service provided by Steve Seidman he was very professional and knowledge hands down Steve thank you so much for winning my case almost lost hope but thanks to you now I'm very happy with the result absolutely highly recommend you to everyone

To anyone in these United States, if you’re looking for a professional and compassionate attorney to represent you this is the law firm you need. Unfortunately I was severely injured in 2007 on the job and once again in 2021. Insurance companies didn’t care employers were evil in the way I was treated. Steve in 2007 represented me iwith a life threatening injury in which I would need care for the rest of my life and did a great job getting me a fair settlement including healthcare related to the injury for the rest of my life. Insurance companies are a pain to deal with but Steve Siedman is ALWAYS is there for me to this day. Nancy Shepard represented me in another case ( not as severe but life changing) and after an unfair employer denied workers compensation got me a reasonable settlement. So the short story is don’t let an employer screw you because of an accident that was out of your control or their negligence you need them to represent you !!!

Great guidance and service. Would highly recommend!

What an amazing staff to deal with, I had a work injury and like everyone that seeks advice I was nervous at first. Nancy Shepard kept me in the loop with everything, she took my case from a different attorney she took the time to go back and review every detail and proceeded to fight for me even more. You don’t get that from anyone, that much attention to a single case, Nancy Shepard and the team at Seidman, Margulis & Fairman thank you!.

OMG what can I say about Attorney Melanie & Attorney Steve they are AMAZING!!! They are professional, compassionate and Brilliant. They know their Stuff. I would reccomend this law office to everyone that has a accident or malpractice case. You will be Well taken care of and you will be truly satisfied with their Service. Thank you to the entire office staff for the excellent handling of my daughters' case! I wish you all the best and Godspeed.

Steve Seidman stuck with my denied work-comp case even after Covid had everything delayed by at least a year. He always called back and never ghosted me during the process. I had a positive outcome. Thanks Steve.

Service was excellent. Couldn't of picked a better law firm.

I was referred to this law firm by a friend. I was seriously hurt on the job and very confused as to what to do. The lawyers that helped me were extremely knowledgeable. Always treating me respectfully, they were ready to answer my questions and point me to the resources that would lead to a positive outcome with my case. I am so thankful to my lawyers for everything they did to bring a positive ending to a very difficult situation. I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Professional, attentive, and very easy to work with. Thanks for the great advocacy!

Steve seidman is the man Im really thankful that I met him and his team . He is the best in Chicago he would look out for you and take care of you . Very professional and great service thank you for everything Steve . Go cubs !!!!

I hired Dan Seidman to help out with my case. I was really impressed with him he was honest and forth coming always, keeping me grounded and informed about every step. I worried that I was not going to get fair compensation for my injuries, but Dan made sure I was even though my expectations were high he keep me grounded. Thank you again and yes I would hire him again.

I really appreciate the fact they communicated and kept me informed on everything that was going on and answering all my questions.

I would hire Melanie Fairman again in a heartbeat! She’s extremely thorough, tentative and well respected among her peers. Melanie took the time to explain in layman’s terms my options and what to expect during the entire process. So incredibly thankful. Sincerely, Nicole
