Solution Focused & Trustworthy

Attorney Michael Fried took my case after my original divorce attorney chose to overbill rather than complete my non-contentious divorce. This attorney was thorough and solution-focused. His concern was bringing my case to a conclusion. He and his staff are professional, kind, and warm. It was suc...h a relief to meet someone who was compassionate and caring. I knew I was in good hands. I recommend that anyone bringing a divorce go no further than Attorney Michael Fried. You will have no worries.

Great Work

I was fast tracking a mediation for divorce. With Micheal's help it was done in three months. Each document I sent was thoroughly reviewed and turned around in days. He had identified issues that I never would have considered.

Keep looking

His strength lies in billing not accomplishing results. He seems to be concerned in maintaining pleasant relationships with the adversaries attorney more than working for the client who is paying for every last paper clip used. There are many attorneys whose first concern is to his/her peers rather... than the clients welfare. He is one of those. The other side says roll over, he drops and rolls. If you don't mind paying tens of thousands to give in to all the other sides demands then you found your man, if not keep looking. While contested divorces are drawn out due to the courts primarily, he will address issues with the other side but fails to follow through. He leaves so much unresolved, unless it is an aspect that you conceded, that only the parts you are 'loosing' get finished. Maybe less acrimonious divorces get resolved favorably by this firm but if you need a more determined or aggressive attorney you will disappointed. I found he did not fully communicate the entire picture but only select parts. My experience was far from satisfactory, you may do better. But if you need an attorney who puts your needs first, isn't afraid to ruffle the feathers of the other side and puts more effort into your case rather than billing for every last billable item/minute I suggest you keep looking.

Reiger and Fried

Reiger and Fried recently handled my divorce. I worked with Mr. Michael Fried. He was kind and compassionate from our initial meeting. The proceedings wound up being more involved and demanding than had initially been anticipated. Mr. Fried always explained things to me in a professional but easily... understood manner. He presented me with clear and concise options, and gave me guidance regarding all decisions that needed to be made. Mr. Fried always made time for all of my questions (and there were many) and when I was confused or overwhelmed, he helped me see things in a calm and rational way. In addition, the staff in the office were courteous, professional and helpful at all times. I highly recommend Mr. Fried and his firm.
