About Eddie

I am blessed to be the husband of a wonderful wife and the father of great children. 

I am a first generation American and I am grateful for the gifts of this great nation !  My parents were survivors of the Holocaust and both my Mother and Father were orphaned and lost many siblings and extended family as a result of the policies of tryannical, hate-based regimes.  The experience of my parents created within me a heightened sensitivity to the importance of a legal system that is founded upon fairness and respect for the rights of individuals.

As an accident-injury lawyer, I am privileged to advocate for people hurt by the negligent and wrongful conduct of others, by recovering money for harm done.  In almost all cases, the people we represent are pitted against Big Money interests, (such as huge insurance companies, etc., ) that see the injured person as a financial liability to be "adjusted," "handled" and forgotten about, rather than as a human being, deserving of treatment in a manner that recognizes their dignity and value.

When someone does a bad thing that hurts someone else, we do what we can to make sure they pay for their bad acts.

Review Eddie Friedman

When only the Best will do. No exceptions.

Posted by

The driver of a car that ran a red light at high speed crashed into the car that I was driving. The tremendous impact resulted in the death of that other driver and in a terrible, life-changing injury to my spine along with other injuries. I hired Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. to represent me. The other driver had no assets but Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. was able to settle my case for the full limits of that driver’s automobile insurance policy. I received excellent service and the best possible outcome, given the circumstances. I was always kept informed as to the status of the case. Most importantly, I always had the feeling that Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. was fighting for me against an insurance company that did not see me as a badly hurt person who needed to rebuild his life, but saw me instead as a file to be “adjusted” for the lowest possible figure. For anyone looking for a lawyer after an accident I would give my highest recommendation to Friedman & Simon, L.L.P.

Mr. Friedman isnt just a lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Friedman wasn't just a my lawyer. He (was) or is a very concerned and a very caring person. Mr. Friedman made sure I was in good hands as well. I was injured in 2009. We settled in 2013 and I was astonished how hard he fought for me to get my life back finacially. Through his hard work and corcern I would recommend this man Mr. Friedman to my worst enemy. That being said is meant for anyone to hire Mr. Friedman is in good hands.
