Helpful, Knowledgeable and Friendly

Mr. Malkin is by far one of the best attorneys I have ever dealt with. He explained all aspects of my case in a way I could understand. He always returned my telephone calls, even after business hours. You will NOT regret using this attorney!

Experienced, Aggressive, Top-Notch Lawyer!

I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case when I hired Mr. Malkin to represent me. He was highly recommended to me by my daughter and within minutes of meeting him, I knew I had made the right choice. Not only was he aggressive in achieving the absolute best results on my behalf but h...e kept me informed of any developments from the very beginning of the case until the end. This was the first time I had found myself in need of a lawyer so I was nervous and did not know what to expect. But Mr. Malkin was understanding, helpful and professional. He made me feel at ease and confident and his staff was simply a pleasure to have contact with. If you want a lawyer you can trust, one that keeps in contact with you every step of the way and delivers the absolute best results in a short period of time, then Seth Malkin is who you need to call.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

We are extremely happy that we chose Mr. Malkin.

We shopped around because we heard that there were so many lawyers who call themselves "accident lawyers". We are so glad we chose Seth Malkin. He was the most caring and always available to us. During our case, we could have accepted the insurance company's very large settlement offer -- but Seth re...commended we should go all the way -- and he fought very hard for our rights. He was right. We eventually received TWICE the money than if we had mistakenly chosen one of those other injury lawyers! We are so pleased ---and Seth was so wonderful. We sincerely recommend him to everybody who needs an accident attorney.

Clients are his foremost priority

Mr Malkin is by far the most efficient and proffesional attorney I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, always goes the extra mile, follows through on all aspects of the case and doesnt settle for less. Would definitely recommend Mr Malkin to all my family and friends.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
