What edelman & edelman does

Edelman & Edelman, P.C. is a New York City-based personal injury and civil litigation law firm founded in 1959 by Jerome Edelman and operated today by his son Martin W. Edelman as President. The firm represents individual claimants across practice areas that include construction accidents, motor vehicle collisions, traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, product liability, burn injuries, bicycle accidents, and wrongful conviction. Its stated differentiator is the 'Edelman Medical Advantage,' a litigation methodology that pairs attorneys (notably Martin Edelman) with medical experts and demonstrative evidence to identify and prove 'invisible' injuries such as TBIs, nerve damage, and soft-tissue pathology - capabilities the firm positions as beyond what typical PI counsel offers.

The firm operates on a contingency-fee basis (15-40% of net recovery) with free initial consultations, removing financial barriers for clients and aligning firm revenue with case outcomes. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through attorney-led intake, supported by an extensive SEO-oriented blog, multilingual website (English/Spanish/Polish), social channels, and earned media from attorneys serving as on-air legal analysts for CNN, NBC, and MSNBC. The firm is headquartered at 60 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan, blocks from the New York County Supreme Court, and serves Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island, and New Jersey. Cumulative disclosed recoveries exceed $600M, anchored by multi-million and eight-figure matters including a $22.5M Pfizer polio verdict, a $35M construction brain-injury settlement, and a $6.25M wrongful-conviction resolution for Jonathan Fleming.

Operationally, the firm is small - 8 attorneys including the President and several Of Counsel relationships - and runs lean with no disclosed external investment, parent entity, funding rounds, acquisitions, or subsidiary structure. It is privately held as a New York professional corporation, with ownership concentrated among the named partners and no PE or strategic acquirer disclosed.
