James Sanford Friedman

I really thought my case was hopeless. I had retained a lawyer to represent me, but this attorney almost never returned my calls. When I did speak with them I really felt like they just wanted to get me off the phone or out of their office as fast as possible. When it was obvious that my position ...was not improving, I hired Jim Friedman. He immediately jumped into the case, discussed all of the issues with me, and met with the US Attorney to review the case. He took the time to answer all of my questions, and kept me in the loop on everything. I thought I was going to land in prison, but Jim kept me out. I hope I never need a criminal lawyer again but, if I do, Jim is the only one I will work with.

I live out of state and hired Mr. Friedman to represent a relative charged with a violent crime and drug offenses in New Jersey. I was very nervous about hiring a lawyer to handle this case without meeting them in person. From the very beginning, Mr. Friedman made me feel very comfortable. He alwa...ys stayed in touch with me and answered all of my questions. He also got most of the charges dismissed. When it was all over, all that remained was the least serious charge in the case, and my NJ relative was sentenced to a short term of probation and some fines. I am very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone with a criminal case.

Mr. James S. Friedman Esq. is a really knowledgeable criminal defense attorney. I hired him because of his professionalism over the phone and his attention to every detail, I explained about the sequence of events that happened to my husband. My husband was in a really bad situation that could of ...sent him away for a very long time. It was a very old case and most of the original people were retired or gone. Mr. Friedman put in a lot of work running around trying to locate files etc. because of this. And in the end Mr. Friedman was able to get my husband sentenced to only 180 days! The outcome is better then I could have ever imagined. Basically my husband will be home by 2017. The time that he was given is concurrent with the time, that he is currently serving in prison. It took Mr. Friedman only three months to adjudicate my husband's case! I could always reach him on the phone or email! One time I couldn't get him on the phone and before I could hang up he was calling in, on the call waiting! He took his time to answer any questions I had even on weekends! Time never seemed to be an issue for him. I called him at 9:00 at night and he would pick up and not rush me off the phone. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a criminal defense lawyer. My husband's first language is not english and Mr. Friedman was very patient and understanding with him. If I ever need a lawyer again, he is the one on my speed dial. Professionalism with five star service is what you get with Mr. James S. Friedman Esq. His fees are worth every penny and he is willing to work with all financial situations. Thank you for helping me and my family get our husband/daddy back. We are forever greatful to you.

We live across the country, but have a relative in New Jersey who got into some trouble and needed help. We found out about the problem at about 3:00 a.m. on the morning of a court date, and immediately located Mr. Friedman on the Internet and called him. We told him we had a real emergency, and th...at we needed help fast. He was on the phone with us for an hour discussing the case. We retained him and he was in court that morning. He later got the charges thrown out.

Mr. Friedman provided fantastic representation at every stage of my case. He was open, honest, and gave frank advice that was always correct. He was also always available to answer questions, and remained in touch with me even after hours and on weekends. He really seemed to understand how stressf...ul the case was for me, and treated me like a human being. I was also very pleased with the result.
