He is a member of the bar of the States of New York and New Jersey and maintains offices in both jurisdictions. Mr. Eidman is also admitted to practice before the various local federal courts and has been a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association for approximately 28 years.
In private practice since 1980, Mr. Eidman has concentrated in the areas of personal injury and medical malpractice litigation, on behalf of seriously injured people. He established and managed the personal injury departments of several firms in which he was a partner and in 1998, he re-opened his own solo-practice, devoted exclusively to the representation of victims of personal injury and medical malpractice. Mr. Eidman has tried cases in all of the local courts and serves on an "of counsel" basis to many firms and attorneys who do not possess expertise in the field of personal injury. The majority of his office's cases have been referred by other attorneys. His cases have been covered in the New York Times and other local papers and he has appeared on various local television news broadcasts.
A 2-term elected member of the Democratic Municipal Committee of his home town, Mr. Eidman is an active participant in community affairs. To view Mr. Eidman's recent participation in New York Magazine's supplement profiling personal injury litigators, click on:  NY Magazine
