ROBERT FRIEDMAN, ATTORNEY 

I've lived in New York all my life, earning my B.A. from S.U.N.Y. Buffalo in 1975. In 1977, I also earned my Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law.

I believe being an active participant in the community is essential for a successful law practice.

My law firm partner and I have been working with Buffalo and WNY residents for almost four decades, so we're not surprised when clients tell us we've helped a member of their family or neighbor in the past.

We have 13 locations across New York and practice law in many areas. Our website has numerous free resources that I invite you to explore.

Estate Planning
We were treated in a respectful, professional and helpful manner while preparing our wills, healthcare proxies and power of attorney. Mr. Friedman took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend him.

The best and most accommodating Lawyer I ever had.
Mr. Robert Friedman did everything I asked for. He made difficult documents; like a Will easy. Made me feel comfortable and went out of his way due to my disability. Answered all my questions in laymen terms. When all was done, I felt great relief and got more than I pd. for

Incredible Attorney and Law Firm
I have never dealt with an attorney or law firm as efficient and conscientious as Mr. Friedman and his employees. I came to him with my father's estate, sale of a home and other legal matters. I spoke DIRECTLY with him many times. I did NOT have to "leave messages" constantly or get shuffled around to other people while waiting for a return phone call. HE addressed legal matters directly with me. I NEVER had to wait endlessly for a return email from him either. He answered them on the same day or within 24 hours. I believe his knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the legal field, but also in handling his clients. He is extremely considerate of YOU and YOUR situation, questions and concerns. Also, his fees are very reasonable compared to other attorneys. The individuals on his staff are top-notch and very competent as well. They were all very courteous, understanding and knowledgeable. They went out of their way for me as well. I could not be more satisfied with the treatment and attention to my affairs and legal issues. If you are looking for the PERFECT attorney, Mr.Friedman is the one to choose. You won't be disappointed by him or his staff. They are all amazing individuals to work with. It was truly my pleasure to have met him and to have him handle my legal affairs. He is truly one-in-a-million and I most highly recommend him!

LOOK NO FURTHER!
Robert Friedman has been my legal counsel for nearly 25 years representing my property management company. You will find the Western New York market literally inundated with lots of attorneys to choose from. You may ask, what makes Robert Friedman the right choice for me? Simply put, he sets the bar in conduct, dedication to his clients and work. His legal expertise in a word, is expert. Finally, he is an attorney you can trust, who is honest and will work for YOU!

Reasonable fees when in need.
I used Mr. Friedman's services when suing a seller of real estate who had concealed a great many flaws in the property at issue. His fees were reasonable and his services helped convince the seller to settle out of court, saving me further expense.

Positive experience
My husband and I have been clients of Mr. Friedman's for several years. He has been very helpful in putting together and updating our wills, helping us through the purchase of 2 homes, and getting a small business off the ground. Mr. Friedman is a good listener and really cares about his clients. He is also very intelligent and business-savvy.

Review for Robert Friedman
We have worked with Bob for many years. He has always been responsive and knowledgeable regarding our legal needs. Bob has handled a variety of legal issues for us, including real estate closings, rental property, estate and probate closing, and sales tax concerns.

estate
Handled an estate for us. Appears quite knowledgeable on estate matters. Has a good Executor Guide, and a good network of estate agents and accountants. BUT: delegated almost all work to office staff which, while willing, were not up to the task. We had to correct numerous errors in the documents. It was impossible to contact him by phone. He was never available and did not return our calls or answer our legal questions by Email.
