Beyond Grateful for Ed and His Team! Your search ends here.

Five stars doesn’t even do justice. I am beyond grateful for everything Ed Fradkin and his team have done for my kids and me. From the very start, Ed was understanding, supportive, and made me feel comfortable during one of the most stressful and heartbreaking times of my life. Ed is not only an e...xcellent attorney, but also a genuinely kind person who truly cares about his clients. Unlike many attorneys where you feel like just another case, Ed communicates directly and consistently — often daily — which gave me so much peace of mind. His work ethic, dedication, and ability to provide both sound advice and real comfort at the same time is unmatched. I would HIGHLY recommend Ed Fradkin to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and honest family attorney. He goes above and beyond, and I will forever be thankful for his help.

Ed Fradking - Divorce Attorney

I highly recommend Ed Fradkin. Ed planned the strategy to end my “lifetime alimony” which I had been paying for more than 25 years. It played out exactly as Ed said it would. Not only did it end as Ed said it would I got back 35% of my retainer. Ed was responsive and diligent. After speaking with... 8 law firms, I went with my gut and hired Ed. A great decision and excellen outcome

Excellent Attorney and Staff

I would highly recommend Ed Fradkin if you are facing a divorce. He represented me during a messy and what I felt was a complicated divorce involving premarital and marital assets. Ed was very knowledgeable and confident of where I stood as far as the law was concerned. My meeting with him immediatel...y put my biggest fears to rest during that difficult and emotional time. During the divorce we had appeared in court twice. Ed’s representation was brilliant, professional, confident and honest with a successful outcome! I was glad he was on my side and not facing him on the other side! Just as importantly, his staff is also very professional. I cannot say enough about his Para-legal, Amy Derasmo. She is very knowledgeable and has been more than helpful and supportive of me during the divorce. Amy is a compassionate, understanding and patient person. I freeze when it comes to filling out legal paperwork…thank goodness for Amy! She has always been happy to help whenever I had any questions. I was extremely pleased my final divorce settlement thanks to Ed and his staff!

expensive mistake

I realized early on that i made a mistake but after i paid the retainer i couldn't afford to go elsewhere. he left me a month before the trial and he never did the things he promised His office had the nerve to bill me for calling my home and leaving me a message to call him back. He was rude and in...effective . He actually threatened to drop me if i didn't agree to settle for what i thought was not a good deal. I think he took my case knowing i had limited funds because he thought it was gonna be a quick settlement. A quick ten grand in his pocket. After leaving my case he had the nerve to bill me for money and threaten to put a lien on my house. I heard that same thing from two other people. I wouldnt have minded if he actually went to court on my behalf . He was defenitely not interested in helping me. In the end i lost everything i was entitled to. Since my divorce he has sent me a bill every month . I rather go to jail than pay him. One day my mailman delivered a bill from him and asked if i had used him in my divorce, she than told me her story and it was no surprise that he did the same thing to her and a friend of her as well. I suggest to everyone to interview several lawyers before deciding because your future is in their hands. I haven't even mentioned half the things he did. I don't think its a coincidence that i have never come across anyone who had a good word to say about him. In fact when i was in court to get a transcript of my case the workers in that office had nothing good to say about him and those people are in contact with lawyers all day long!

Edward Fradkin

Replied last September 18, 2014

While I am not aware of who wrote this review or what case he/she is referring to if this person contacted me I would gladly take the time to sit with him/her and discuss my representation of him/her and any adjustments of the bill that would be warranted. I will always address any issues that a client brings to my attention and attempt to resolve same in a mutually agreeable fashion.

Excellent laywer

I have had an overall excellent representation by Mr Fradkin. He did an excellent job through my entire divorce litigation. He is very knowledgeable in divorce law and answers all my questions in a very prompt manner. If he was not available at a moment of question, one of his staff would assist me a...nd he would then follow up soon thereafter. He kept me informed throughout each step of the divorce and was well prepared when we went into court. I am very happy with his work and work ethic and have already recommended him to other people. He continues to work diligently for me to this day because my ex and her attorney continue to beat a dead horse so to speak and file appeals. Mr fradkin has been straight forward and still does an excellent job for me
