Sari Martin Friedman

Remarkable service and professionalism with a personal and caring attorney. Sari helped me years ago, with the parental alienation and Father’s Rights meetings. In addition after 5 years in court with another attorney, on the first court date, in the hallway Attorney Friedman sat and quietly listened... to my children’s mother and advised her gently of best course, and we parted courts forever after that. Although the parental alienation is still a chronic challenge my experience with Attorney Friedman was transformative, especially when women generally have prejudged men in matrimonial matters, as well as the judges. Attorney Friedman stands alone with her staff as the best I know on Long Island. Compassionate and affordable.

I hired Sari because she is supposedly the top Father's Rights attorney around. She had her associate, Laraib, handle my case to save me on costs. The idea was that Sari would oversee everything. My divorce & custody case took place during COVID so that delayed in-person court proceedings. I am ...dealing with a high-conflict, narcissistic ex-wife who has been poisoning my three children against me. When we finally got to court, my attorney talked me into settling and signing a terrible agreement instead of going to trial. This gave me no power to stop my ex from brainwashing my children into hating me and stopping me from raising them. Now, nearly 3 years later, they are all in therapy with anxiety and depression and they haven't visited with me in over a year. It seems to me that my attorney took my money and had no interest in doing what was best from the children.

When I found myself facing the daunting challenge of divorce and custody battles, I knew I needed a fierce advocate by my side. Sari Friedman proved to be more than just an attorney; she was a relentless champion for my rights and the well-being of my family. From the very first consultation, I felt ...reassured by her tenacity and unwavering dedication to my case. Sari’s extensive experience in family law is immediately apparent. Her deep understanding of the legal intricacies, coupled with her strategic thinking, set her apart as a formidable force in the courtroom. Sari doesn’t just practice law; she lives and breathes it, constantly staying abreast of the latest developments to ensure she’s providing the most effective representation possible. Throughout the many years she has advocated for me, Sari has shown an incredible zeal that never waned. Her fierce determination to fight for my best interests was evident in every step of the process. She skillfully navigated the complexities of my case, always prepared with a robust strategy and a meticulous attention to detail. Sari’s ability to anticipate the opposition’s moves and counter them with precision was nothing short of impressive. Beyond her remarkable legal acumen, Sari’s compassion and empathy made a world of difference during such a challenging time. She took the time to understand not just the legal aspects, but also the emotional nuances of my situation. Sari’s holistic approach ensured that I felt supported and understood, which was invaluable during the tumultuous journey of divorce and custody proceedings. I cannot praise Sari’s team enough. Her staff is a reflection of her own professionalism and dedication. Jennifer Moran, in particular, played a crucial role in organizing my lenghty case. Her organizational skills and attention to detail were instrumental in keeping everything on track. Jennifer’s ability to manage the complexities of my case with efficiency and precision was a testament to the high standards upheld by Sari Friedman’s practice. Every interaction with Sari’s office was marked by professionalism and genuine care. The entire team worked seamlessly to ensure that no detail was overlooked, and I always felt that my case was in the best possible hands. They were responsive, communicative, and always ready to provide the support I needed. To conclude, Sari Friedman is a tenacious and zealous attorney who will fiercely advocate for you. Her unwavering dedication, coupled with an exceptional team, ensures that you receive top-notch representation.

She has been my steadfast advocate for many years, and I am profoundly grateful for her relentless pursuit of justice on my behalf.

Was confused and lost until i met Sari on one of her virtual Father's Right meetings on the last Thursday of every month Sometime last year June. She answered all my questions and was extremely knowledgeable . She was frank and honest. Eventually, when i had my consultations with her, i decid...ed to retain her firm and "oh boy , that's one of the best decisions" i have ever had to make thus far". My representation by Crystal Parnell was not only professional, she treated me as though i was the only client she had. She showed empathy, listened to what i had to say and never, at any point did i feel rushed. Crystal will always return my emails and phone calls promptly. Not to mention the fact that , she is fierce and well vested in child custody cases. I am glad Crystal and Sari were on my side because they represented me very well and i am happy with the legal service /representation that was provided me. The office staff were also very professional anytime i will call the office. Even though , i never met Jason, he was very professional in his emails and to Sari, the staff in general and CRYSTAL in particular, thank you , thank you for fighting for me and encouraging me when i wanted to give up. I will recommend Sari's law firm without hesitation to anyone

Sari heads a firm that focuses on empowering its clients without wasting time or mincing words with her clients and opposing counsel. She's a composed, astute and forward-thinking advocate -- especially for fathers whose parental rights and parenting time have been violated and compromised, and most ...importantly for the children whose "daddy-daughter" relationships have been compromised as well. I switched to Sari from other representation after my case had been dragged along and my parenting time severely limited for five months due to false allegations. This is the equivalent of being guilty until proven innocent or, at best, what I call "parental purgatory." Hardly a month after retaining Sari, however -- and at our first court appearance together -- my joint custody was reestablished and my parental rights restored. Sari's staff is respondent and allowed me to work hands-on with paralegals in drafting our proposed parenting agreement. It is important to note that a joint custody agreement doesn't guarantee the non-residential parent that his/her parenting time will be honored. This became a reality for me when my daughter's mom often failed to adhere to our schedule. And this is why every custody agreement must be extremely detailed when it comes to specificity of parenting time. Sari had the foresight to file a petition to move our case to Supreme Court rather than linger at the county level, and our request was granted by the Supreme Court despite opposition from opposing counsel. So after more deliberation -- including an out-of-court "four-way" meeting between Sari/me and mother/opposing counsel at Sari's efficiently run and comfortable Garden City office -- we established a new, airtight parenting-time agreement signed by both parties, once again avoiding trial. For all those dads out there seeking representation in uphill battles against a court system often unfavorable to fathers -- specifically in NY state -- I would not consider retaining another attorney until first consulting with Sari. My coparenting relationship is now better than I ever could have imagined. There is no escaping accountability with Sari on your side, and one should never put a price tag on piece of mind.
