I was victim of another car accident. Knowing the pain and struggles from my prior accident I called Dan right away. It use to be we wanted to avoid lawyers, now it's the numerous insurance companies we need to avoid! Dan is always available for questions and advice on how to proceed. He is very knowledgeable, has your best interest at heart and extremely thorough in fighting for your rights. I have recommended others to Dan who were all very pleased with their results in retaining him.
My brother hired Attorney Malis and he did a great job helping him.
Dan was very helpful and very informative and was always there to answer our questions. It was a long process and Dan fought hard with the insurance company to get a fair settlement.
We were very satisfied and thankful for his services and would highly recommend Dan Malis.

I represent individuals and families injured by dangerous conditions on property, including construction site defects; slip and falls; breaches of building, design, and housing codes; and other dangerous conditions.
I represent workers who have been injured on the job and in industrial accidents, and protect their rights under workers' compensation law, as well as pursue claims against parties other than employers for workplace injuries
I represent families and estates of persons killed by negligent and wrongful acts of corporations and persons at construction sites; due to defective products; negligent operation of a car or truck; dangerous property conditions; and toxic substances.
I represent individuals who have suffered simple and complex closed head injuries. As part of my practice, I work with neurologists, neuropsychologists, neuroradiologists, occupational, vocational, and cognitive therapists, and other specialists to develop the proof needed to prove causal connections between subtle changes of behavior and potential closed head trauma.
I am an advocate for personal injury victims and their rights.
I have successfully litigated and tried cases for victims of poorly designed products, medical malpractice, construction site accidents, automobile collisions and other injury claims. I’ve obtained over 20 million dollars for them and their estates, through settlements, trials and appeals. I believe in gaining justice for my clients; one case a time, one trial at a time and one settlement at a time.
I have nearly 40 years of courtroom and litigation experience, getting compensation for people hurt on construction sites, car accidents, by falls, and by defective products -- whether at work, at home, or on the road. I'm a lifetime member of the Multimillion Dollar Advocates Forum, having litigated multiple cases paying more than $2 million dollars to injured clients, and have been selected as a member of the Top 100 National Trial Lawyers Association. No case is too big -- or too small. I've handled everything from 'fender benders' to being one of the attorneys who sued 'Big Tobacco.' I'm known as a tough and creative advocate for my clients, and find out of the box solutions to difficult cases. I'm also a "lawyer's lawyer", with many other attorneys, and even law professors, coming to me to solve their hardest cases.
No one will work harder to get you fair compensation.

Car Accident
I was rear ended on the highway which totaled my car and left me with no memory of the accident, neck and back injuries, and numerous contusions. I had never been in a situation like this, but luckily a family member gave me Daniel's name and number. I called him immediately. During our first meeting he was very straight forward and explained the process. He level set what I should expect and how long it would take. Daniel and his team were great to work with and always had my best interests at heart. He was relentless in pursuing proper compensation for my injuries. Very happy with the conclusion and I would highly recommend him and his team.

Truck accident
I was in a head on collision while in my truck.
Truck was totaled, and both my son and I were hurt from the accident.
Dan was there to help with the long process of dealing with a very arrogant insurance company.
But! I am happy to say. Attorney Malis fought all the way to getting a favorable ruling in my favor.
I highly recommend Dan, you will not regret your decision to have him represent you on your behalf.

An Incredible Attorney
I’d been in a terrible car crash and had sustained injuries with lasting damage and limitations that impacted my ability to work and several other aspects of my life – immediately following the crash and long-term. I was given Attorney Malis’ name and it was the best recommendation I’ve ever received in my life. He took the case on and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Attorney Malis is diligent and dedicated to the best interests of his clients, and is not afraid to stand up for those best interests when needed. He’s honest in how he expects a case to proceed, and made sure I was well-prepared for each stage in the process. If I had any questions, he addressed each one directly and thoroughly, always in a timely manner.
If you need a personal injury lawyer, look no further! I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Dan Malis!

Truly excellent lawyer!
Attorney Malis and his team are fantastic! My car was totaled and I had many personal injuries. Attorney Malis took on my case and I couldn’t be happier. He and his team explained all steps in the lawsuit, answered any questions I had thoroughly and kept me up to date with any news — big or small. Attorney Malis is firm when it comes to getting what he believes his client deserve and is fair. He is not intimidated by any situation and will fight for his clients. I recommend Attorney Malis to anyone that finds themselves in need of a lawyer. He and his team are truly some of the best!

The best and most caring lawyer ever!
Attorney Malis is an amazing person overall. He took on the case with our absolute best interest at heart. Given that we had a situation (a terrible one and to resort in finding a lawyer) and that it was very nerve wrecking process, Attorney Malis was there every step of the way. He would be the first to call to update me on the case. If I have questions, like any normal people who doesn’t know much about the law, he will take his time to explain it further. Even at my request, he broke it down in simpler terms and wrote a word doc of bullet points to make it easier for me to understand. I am so grateful for his service and his support. Attorney Malis has proven to me that good people do exists. He took his work very seriously and did such thorough research. He was able to dig up some articles that could be used against the other party, resulting in a higher chance of winning the case. He also guided us through the entire way, what is needed to be done, which direction would this case head towards, and how to deal with it. He also is very firm, but that’s only because he wants what’s best for you. Listen to what he says and figure out what you want, and he’ll do what he can for you. His services exceeded my expectations. I had a good experience, and I learned a lot throughout the process. I felt bad because I was asking a lot of questions, but he reassured me that it’s not a problem at all. It’s normal to have questions. I highly recommend Attorney Malis to everyone that needs a helping hand in the name of law, who wants to get what they truly deserve. Attorney Malis will have your best interest at heart and will do everything in his power to get that.

Car accident
I could not be happier that Dan took my case. I had 100% confidence within the first 5 minutes of meeting Dan and Jenn. I was completely understood, I felt cared for and I felt sympathy, which I didn't expect. I had never contacted a lawyer prior to this case. You will get pure honestly with them, I trusted them both the whole way through. I'm honored that I found them and couldn't imagine a better experience with any other. They communicated whenever necessary, and told me to contact them whenever I had any question, or even just to let them know how I was doing. They worked diligently through every single step. I can't thank them enough for how they helped me. I'm very happy with the outcome.

Personal Injury Attorney review
Many people struggle to find an attorney they can connect with. In the first 15 minutes we knew that Dan and Jenn were the team to represent us. My daughter was injured while having a facial wax. It was a serious enough injury that required immediate medical attention. When we called Dan instantly he asked all the right questions but his first question was about how my daughter was doing. Business was secondary to Dan. He wants to know you, he cares about you, then he moves to business.
He is experienced, professional, reliable and results-oriented. Frankly he is the best at what he does. Thank you Dan for being so self-less and always putting my girl first. Our professional relationship and now personal one means so much to our family.
He is dedicated, hard-working and selfless. Never was this about he and his firm but about my daughter and assessing the situation. Dan is black and right, shoots from the technical hip. He tells you what you need to know whether you like it or not. He is pragmatic and realistic and fights for you when it is the right thing to do. H We consider Dan and Jenn to be our friends now.

Professional and Trustworthy Attorney
I suffered a fractured pelvis as a result of a car accident that was not my fault. It was both scary and painful. I had never been through anything like that before. Attorney Malis came to my home for a free consultation. During his visit, he was both compassionate and professional. He explained things well, and did not pressure me to hire him, but I did. And the process was easy. Whenever I had questions he responded promptly whether it was by email or phone. And I am happy with the settlement he was able to get.

I am a disabled Veteran and was connected to Attorney Malis for legal representation after I was struck by a vehicle in a crosswalk. Attorney Malis went above and beyond the call of duty in attending to my legal needs as well as other needs. I am fully satisfied with the representation I received from Attorney Malis. His team is top notch as well. While I was in the hospital he visited me and brought me chicken soup & cookies. He assisted me in arranging for medical appointments including transportation. Over all I am fully satisfied with his representation and support and would recommend him to have your corner too.

Slip-fall knee
I had a slip and fall injuring my knee. Attorney Daniel Malis was so honest, compassionate and very professional always looking right at me while conversing. I felt I was given the treatment of a Queen. Always being asked “aside from the case, how are you doing”? He really cared about me as a person NOT a case number. Inquiring as to how my children were doing made me feel “YES”, he really cares about people. I never had to worry how things were going as I was called and updated quite frequently. If I ever need legal representation again in my life I would not hesitate to call Daniel Malis. I am forever grateful for such wonderful people in this world that are available to help and support me if needed. Thank you Attorney Daniel Malis for all that you have and still do.

Caring Straight-Forward Lawyer...
Since 2008, Dan has been an exceptional lawyer. Working diligently and keeping me well informed of what to expect, and in the end achieved a positive outcome.
Also, Dan has the most wonderful staff. They were extremely kind, whenever I called, I could hear the smile in the secretary's voice. She always listened and never rushed me.
Mr. Malis and his team are the definition of professionals. I would readily recommend Dan Malis to friends, and family members, or anyone who needs a good lawyer.
