Michael Loren Fried

In a time of Divorce,emotions and confusion can run high. Michael Fried immediately made me feel more comfortable, informed, and cared for. He is very experienced and knowledgeable on all aspects of a Divorce. His personal demeanor put me at ease throughout the whole process. He explained every ...step in the process in a very simple and understandable way. Divorce is a terrible time in someones life, but with Michael Fried, you will be able to get through this difficult time with all the information,understanding and compassion you will need

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.

I am an extremely satisfied former client of Michael L. Fried, ESQ. and would definitely recommend him to people who are looking for an attorney to represent them. In the past years, I already recommended him to 3 people who were stressed out about their divorce and they all thanked me so much for t...his recommendation. Michael, unlike other attorneys, definitely returns calls (in a timely fashion) which is a major + while one is waiting to get a response to what is a very imperative issue pending at the time.
