Malkinson & Halpern: Our Strengths

When we say, "the client is our #1 priority," we actually mean it.

Malkinson & Halpern, P.C., operates as a boutique law firm providing personalized legal representation and services to select clients. Founding the firm in 1997, Chicago attorneys John R. Malkinson and Seth R. Halpern made the conscious decision to abandon the “large firm, corporate” approach.

"We wanted clients to know us and to know that at our firm, the client is number one." — John Malkinson

Here, the client’s interests are the firm’s top priority. Our central goal is to provide the individualized attention and the results that each client requires — and deserves.

We will not only work hard for you, we will work with you!

We undertake the daily burdens of proving your claim, but you remain a central figure in our success. Malkinson & Halpern's client-centered practice involves treating the client as an integral part of the legal team. Establishing and maintaining client involvement and compassionate communication is the focal point of our longstanding history of excellent results and solid attorney-client relationships. Our attorneys will not only work hard for you, but will work with you, answering your questions and keeping you informed of significant developments throughout the representation. You will always know what is going on in your case — and why. In many instances, your input will be integral.

We know how to win — and can prove it everyday.

We achieve great results for our clients, including many multi-million dollar recoveries. Central to the firm’s success is our penchant for prompt and thorough investigation, preserving crucial evidence, and locating and contacting key witnesses. Our clients' interests are supported by our decades of experience in these areas, as well as by our close-knit legal team, which often includes physicians, economists, and other professionals as consultants engaged specifically to help prove and win cases.
