ThreeBestRated® evaluates businesses across a wide range of industries with the goal of identifying service providers that demonstrate reliability, credibility, and sustained performance. The 2026 recognition reflects long-term consumer trust and consistent client experience, rather than short-term results or promotional activity.

John J. Malm & Associates is a personal injury law firm serving clients throughout Illinois, with offices in Naperville and St. Charles. The firm is led by John J. Malm, a Chicago-area personal injury attorney with more than 32 years of experience representing individuals and families who have been injured as a result of negligence.

This recognition reflects the importance of doing the work the right way, year after year.”

How ThreeBestRated® Selects Best Businesses

ThreeBestRated® uses an independent evaluation process to identify businesses that meet its standards for quality and service. According to the organization, its assessments consider multiple factors, including reputation, client reviews, service quality, responsiveness, trust, and overall business performance.

Rather than relying on applications or paid placements, ThreeBestRated® conducts its own research to evaluate businesses within specific geographic markets. The process emphasizes consistency and credibility, focusing on businesses that demonstrate sustained positive consumer feedback and professional standards over time.

For professional service providers such as law firms, the evaluation considers how effectively a business serves its clients, maintains ethical and professional standards, and earns public trust within its community.

Recognition of Individual Leadership and Firm Performance

The 2026 Best Business designation applies both to John J. Malm individually and to John J. Malm & Associates as a firm. This dual recognition reflects the role of experienced leadership in shaping the firm’s culture and the consistency of its client-focused approach.

“As a Chicagoland personal injury attorney, I’ve always believed that experience matters most when it’s paired with preparation and accountability,” Malm said. “This acknowledgment recognizes not just outcomes, but the way we treat our clients and the standards we hold ourselves to every day.”

Under Malm’s leadership, the firm has maintained a focused practice model, limiting its work to personal injury cases in order to provide depth of experience and disciplined advocacy. The firm is comprised of six personal injury attorneys who collectively bring more than 95 years of legal experience to their practice.

Why the ThreeBestRated® Recognition Matters

Consumers seeking a personal injury lawyer are often making decisions under stressful circumstances, including medical treatment, lost income, and uncertainty about the future. Independent evaluations such as those conducted by ThreeBestRated® can provide helpful context when consumers are evaluating professional service providers.

The Best Business designation highlights businesses that have demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and strong client engagement within their local communities. By emphasizing reputation and service quality, the evaluation helps distinguish businesses that have earned trust through consistent performance.
