Great Attorney

We worked with Andrea Friedman on a divorce case. From the very first conversation we had she outlined the legal strategy for us in how to resolve this matter. The case was carried out with the exact precision as she explained it in our initial conversation. Andrea’s empathy and understanding of the ...sense of urgency of resolving our case in an efficient manner as she pointed out to us that this was a time sensitive case. We were amazed at the speed that she was able to obtain an emergency court hearing during the pandemic. Ms. Friedman is highly responsive and her updates on the case were shared in real time with us. The key reason in getting this case being resolved quickly is due Ms. Friedman’s dynamic performance. We are grateful and fortunate to have found Ms. Friedman as our attorney. We highly recommend Ms. Andrea Friedman as her professionalism is unparalleled.

Stay at Home Dad with 4 kids Fathers Do Have Rights!

Andrea Friedman is an outstanding divorce and family law attorney who combines expertise and knowledge of the law to quickly identify issues, take decisive action and deliver optimal results. As a stay-at-home-dad with four kids difficult challenges lay ahead but Andrea never hesitated from the chal...lenge and developed a clear strategy and pathway to meet my family’s needs. She gave hope when there wasn't any and proceeded to completely turn the table upside down in my favor. Andrea was results-oriented and direct in her approach but operated with skill, integrity, grace and poise that commanded respect in the courtroom, meetings and even from her adversary. She was incredibly efficient with her time and kept me focused throughout even when emotions ran high. She was empathetic, genuine and is truly a good person. I can say with complete confidence Andrea is the person you want on your side whatever your situation may be. Thanks to Friedman & Friedman I now truly believe that fathers do have rights!

Grateful client

Let me start off by saying, I am not a regular review writer, but this experience has prompted me to express my gratitude and appreciation to both Andrea and Sari Friedman. The "dynamic duo" handled my recent custody case. Without getting into too much detail, my 16 year old daughter needed a chang...e and wanted to live with me (her dad). Her mother was unwilling to oblige, therefore, we needed help. Enter Andrea and Sari. From the initial consultation, we felt confident in a positive outcome. Andrea explained options, helped form a plan, and executed that plan with extreme professionalism and care. She listened, not only to me, but to my daughter, and made her feel both comfortable and relevant to our matter. From negotiations with opposing council, to actual court appearances, we always felt as if we were in good hands. We cannot say enough good things about Andrea and Sari, and highly recommend their services to anyone facing any type of family matter.

Professional and courteous

They made me feel like family and made me feel they really cared about my case. Divorces aren't easy and having good representation is important. If you need advice, see Friedman & Friedman, Attorneys at Law.
