About Sheldon
Sheldon Aberman earned a B.A. in political science from Yeshiva University in 1988 and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 1991. He trained in Chicago. Those early years shaped the practical side of his legal work.
He moved into private practice in the mid-1990s. Records show he served as an associate at DeFrenza & Tolmatsky in 1995. Two years later he opened his own shop, Sheldon J. Aberman & Associates. That stint as an owner preceded his acceptance into the Federal Trial Bar in 1997, a credential that expanded the range of courts where he could appear.
Membership in the Illinois State Bar Association followed in 1998. That same year he returned to an associate role at Goodman & Witanen. Years later he joined Komessar & Wintroub as an associate in 2006 and then Cary J. Wintroub & Associates in 2008. The career record shows a pattern of both solo practice and collaborative work inside small firms. He has navigated client intake, case preparation and litigation staffing in those settings.
His practice has centered on civil matters arising from vehicle collisions. Office listings indicate a focus on automobile-accident cases in Chicago. Over time that niche has become a consistent area of his work. The combination of state and federal bar membership has allowed him to handle cases that cross jurisdictional lines.
Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and methodical in case preparation. He has spent much of his career litigating and negotiating on behalf of individuals who suffered injuries in road incidents. He has worked both as a solo practitioner and as part of plaintiff-oriented teams, which has given him experience with the workflow of small litigation practices.
He is licensed to practice in Illinois and holds memberships in the Illinois State Bar Association and the Federal Trial Bar, both listed as ongoing. He maintains a Chicago practice and handles auto-accident and related personal-injury matters in state and federal courts.
He currently practices in Chicago handling car-accident and personal-injury cases.
