About Robert
Biography
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.

Legal Documents and Consultation
Very pleased with professionalism, knowledge and timeliness of the documentation process. The insight on Will, POA and Trust was invaluable as well. Highly recommended.

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. ...
