Great experience

I first called Fridman Law Firm PLLC because I needed help establishing my LLC, creating legal documents for my software like a privacy policy/terms, and general advice. I picked this firm over the other firms in the area because this company was professional, gave me a accurate estimate up front, ha...d good reviews online, and experience working with software firms. The best part of working with Fridman Law Firm PLLC was the high quality work and attention to detail. The outcome after all of the work put in by the firm has been great. My LLC has been created and I have newly created legal docs like my terms and conditions. It has allowed me to bring my app to market with peace of mind.

Amazing corporate law work!

The reason we retained Fridman Law Firm PLLC was that we needed all around legal support and general council for our new startup. We picked this firm over all the other firms in the area because after meeting with Neil, it was immediately clear that he and his team were extremely knowledgeable but st...ill able to speak plainly about matters in a way that made it easy to understand and to make decisions quickly. The best part of working with Fridman Law was not having to worry about them spending time on things that were unnecessary. As a result of their hard work, our company went from 2 to 14 employees, through two successful rounds of funding. We will continue to use their firm for the long haul!

Great lawyer for our growing company

Our company is less than two years old and in that time we've had a lot of trouble finding a good lawyer. Most times they don't answer questions, are opaque in their processes, and/or make us feel like we're not worth their time. That changed when we first hired Neil. We've used Neil to help us craft... an employee stock option pool, administer advisory shares, and to craft the contract for our first hire. He will be the only lawyer we use going forward. Neil works really quickly and most importantly for us he is always happy to answer any questions that we have. Our company means everything to us and Neil understands and appreciates that. I cannot recommend Neil more highly!

Smart effective and personable legal team!

Fridman Law Firm assisted me and my company in our Series A round of financing. Both me and my cofounder found Neil and his team to be extremely intelligent, experienced, and able to guide us threw the many ups and downs of successfully raising capital, restructuring our company and issuing equity to... our founders and employees. If you’re looking for a personable attorney with great business acumen - definitely go with Neil... we really enjoy working with FLF

Outstanding lawyer, top notch advice & execution

We've been working with Neil concerning a number of topics and he has been flawless in his execution. What impresses me most is that our industry is very niche and very technical. So to pick up the subject matter that quickly and execute on contracts is no small task. Another thing worth noting is th...at his turnaround times are excellent. That really matters to a company growing as quickly as ours is. I can't speak highly enough of him.
