A n unwavering commitment to fairness and ethics. An in- depth knowledge of the law. And a fierce commitment to his clients. Those qualities have made Benjamin Breslau one of the most in-demand workers' compensation specialists in the Chicago area, according to colleagues. His peers say that Breslau is always well-prepared and high- ly proficient, regularly earning positive results for his clients. It's no surprise, then, that he has quickly risen in status within the community and at Nyhan, Bambrick, Kinzie, & Lowry. "Ben's ascent to partnership within his law firm is a testament to his strong work ethic, interpersonal finesse, and depth of legal knowledge," said fellow attorney William Stanczak. "This achievement not only underscores the value he brings to his firm but also validates what those of us who have collaborated with him have long recognized: his prowess as an attorney and his sterling character as an individual."

Nina Mariano, arbitrator with the Illinois Workers' Compen- sation Commission, has seen Breslau in action often during her career. She says that Breslau zealously advocates for his clients and always provides them with the best representation. "He has accomplished great things for not yet being 40," Mariano said. "He is a highly respected member of the commu- nity for his integrity and ability to practice law in his field while carrying a heavy caseload."
