Child Custody (father's rights)

I am a single (unmarried) father, who was fighting an extremely difficult child custody case, to have the custody rights a father, and his daughter deserve. Hiring Andrea Friedman was the best decision I made for my case, and she ultimately helped me achieve the exact outcome that I was looking for.... As this was a difficult and emotional case for me, she was extremely helpful, not only in the litigation process but also greatly helped me figure out how to get through the emotional rollercoaster. Which I did not expect from a lawyer. She is a no-nonsense, direct and skilled lawyer to have on your side and a genuine and empathetic person to help you through any tough times in this process. I without a doubt recommend her. She is the one you want fighting for you.

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.

always responsive and on target

Andrea has represented my interests and the best interests of my family on more than one occasion. Each time she has been very responsive to my concerns and thoughts. My case was/is a multi state custody dispute with many nuances. Andrea handled all of those nuances well and thoughtfully.

Great Lawyer with Great Results

Andrea Friedman was an attorney in my custody trial for my then 6 month old son. As a single father going through a divorce, Ms. Friedman met my needs with understanding and knowledge to aid me in winning custody. She, along with her legal team, drafted all of my court documents with excellence and h...onesty. I was always very impressed with how she took my information from me, and translated it to the courts, so that they were able to comprehend the details pertaining to my situation. Due to her attention to detail, and expertise, I was awarded sole custody. Ms. Friedman saw my case all the way though the appeal. I can now say my 4 1/2 year old son is living with me and thriving in his happy life. And I have Andrea Friedman to thank for that.

Tough, honest and efficient

I found Andrea to be a very strong advocate for me. She worked on my child visitation and support cases, and while these outcomes are never perfect, I believe I was extremely well represented. She was honest and practical in her recommended positions, and willing to also say the hard things to bring ...us back to reality. She was EXTREMELY good at showing empathy, while not getting caught up emotionally - anything child visitation-related tends to be emotional - enabling us to end the case in a place where co-parenting peacefully was easier than it might've been had were the confrontation more combative. I recommend her to friends, and should I find myself needing to revisit these issues, I would call her in a heartbeat!

"I endorse this lawyer. The best way to describe her style is relentless. Many lawyers believe that good advocacy is synonymous with being loud and attempting to push your adversary around. This is not the case with Ms. Friedman. No one will fight harder to accomplish the client's goal and she does so using her extensive knowledge of the law to successful craft winning legal arguments. Her passion and her tenacity with advocating for her client's goals is unparalleled."
