About Daniel Jonathan Pylman

For essentially the entirety of Dan’s legal career, he has been handling medical malpractice cases. A good portion of that time was spent defending medical institutions and medical professionals. Daniel J. Pylman impressively graduated Wheaton College summa cum laude in 2006 and Chicago Kent College of Law cum laude in 2009. But Dan’s story is as much heart as it is smarts. During a successful career as a defense lawyer, Dan saw firsthand the uphill battle malpractice victims face as they search for answers and accountability.

Dan joined CHH in 2017 because, he says, he “wanted the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who need it the most.”

Now, as a plaintiff’s attorney who specializes in medical malpractice, he has the opportunity to do just that. Each day, Dan says he wakes up knowing that he has the privilege of advocating for others and helping them manage the overwhelming stress that comes with being injured and bringing a lawsuit.

Outside of his law practice, Dan is proud to be a husband and the father of two girls. Dan lives with his family in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago, where he is involved in his local church and enjoys spending time with family, running, biking, cooking, reading good novels, exploring Chicago neighborhoods, and eating good food.

Since 2012, Mr. Pylman has been selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers.

I did not know fully what to expect when Dan took my case. I was very pleased to find out Dan has an extensive knowledge of medical issues along with his legal expertise. Dan took the time to investigate every aspect of my case and kept me informed of the progress along the way. I would recommend Dan to anyone in need of medical malpractice representation.

We spent a lot of time looking for a medical malpractice attorney after having been disappointed with jerks who upon our meeting would actually make jokes about our misfortune. And then we met attorney Daniel Pylman; Working with Dan would prove to be a godsend. Early on and throughout the entire process, Dan distinguished himself showing genuine interest and compassion for what happened to us. He guided us on what could and -unfortunately- could not be done. Nevertheless, he dug deep in our files and found the necessary nuances by which we were able to attain our justice. Dan fought tooth and nail through the entirety of our case. A gentleman, he always remained calm which helped us remain calm during the nastiness of it all. It was really heartwarming to see him in action. Our case took longer than expected given that it was through Covid. This was made better because of Dan. We genuinely enjoyed our calls. Today we cosider him a dear friend!

My family & I were in complete devistation, shock, and disbelief about our Father. We were infuriated about what took place in a hospital, that caused an abrupt loss of our love one that was healthy. We contacted this law office, and submitted the case. Dan J. Pylman came through expeditiously and offered to investigate the claim/ case. Dan responded positively from day one, and took our case. Due to the Pandemic things were put on hold, but Dan told my family and I to try and remain calm, hopeful, and confident about the status of the case. He remained professional, informative, and compassionate throughout the entire time. What I love most, is how nurturing, and empathetic Dan was about or hearts being broken over this situation. He continued to fight on behalf of us and never gave up. I don't know what we would have done without Dan during this difficult time. I highly recommend having Dan J. Pylman and his team to represent you & yours if you want to win your case. Thanks!

I can’t say enough on how pleased me and my sister are with our experience with Dan Plyman @ chhlaw.com. Dan was very compassionate to our situation with our father’s case . Dan was very thorough in his investigation and did his due diligence in uncovering any faulty actions by the defendants. Dan never set our expectations above what he felt we were entitled too . He was very truthful about all the circumstances pertaining to our fathers case . The settlement exceeded our expectations. We are very appreciative to Dan and Chhlaw for all their hard work over the years to get us a resolution in our lawsuit

Dan Pylman did a great job for us in our case. Dan was available at all times even at night and on the weekends for all of our questions and information gathering. Dan is very knowledgeable and determined to win our case. Dan was compassionate with us regarding our situation and always seemed genuinely concerned about how we were doing. Even during the craziness of Covid Dan kept working and got our case settled in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Dan and his law firm to anyone who needs an attorney.

I am so grateful for having Dan Plyman as my attorney. His perseverance and commitment through this process reassured me that I was in good hands. Dan continued to be a support system for me and understood the trauma and heart ache I was experiencing due to the tragic loss of my Dad. He was empathetic to the suffering and poor heath care he received. I was confident that Dan wanted accountability and justice for my loss. He always made me feel same and he was not just my attorned but a support system as well. I know Dan was up against many challenges however, I knew in my heart that my loss was not fair for me and my family. I had faith in Dan's experience with the Law and he would secure justice. Dan would not of been able to go leaps and bounds for our case if it not were the support of his Law Firm. At the end I finally listened to my Dad's last voice mails and I shared them with Dan. His response was, "I feel as though I knew your dad and I have great respect for him"

During one of the most difficult times in my life I cannot imagine being treated with more dignity and respect than I was shown by the entire firm. The passion with which the entire team pursued my case was far beyond any expectation I could have had. Thank you so much Dan Plyman and team for the compassion and energy you put into assisting us. I can never put my gratitude into words!
