A lifelong resident of Illinois, Mr. Waldman raised his family in the Pekin/Peoria area where he resides today. Mr. Waldman attended Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, graduating with University Honors with a Bachelors degree in Political Science and Paralegal Studies. He began practicing law after graduating from University of Illinois College of Law in 1988. After law school Mr. Waldman began working for a law firm that primarily did work for insurance companies, defending personal injuries and workers compensation claims.

It is estimated that Mr. Waldman has successfully fought for more than 10,000 injured people since coming to Kanoski Bresney. Mr. Waldman is an avid NASCAR fan and a craft beer enthusiast.
