Posted by Brent | June 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Motorcycle Accident

no better lawyer around!

i'm a veteran that was in a motorcycle accident last summer. I was making good money building cellphone towers but due to my back injury I could not return back to work. Mr. Friedlander was able to settle my case in one year and was able to cover all my medical costs and leaving me with enough left o...ver to afford to get my bachelors degree while living comfortably. THANK YOU!!!!

Dedicated lawyer

I am a client of Bill Friedlander and have been completely satisfied with his work. His personality and dedication makes for a perfect combination with his outstanding legal ability. . I can't say anything that I did not like about him or his office. I am being as objective as possible when I... say I could not be more pleased with the whole case. In the opinion of me and my family, ......I would strongly recommend Friedlander & Friendlander.

Posted by Marge | November 12, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Highly recommened his abilities.

Mr. Friedlander and his staff worked with us diligently. He successfully settled the case of my loving father for me and we felt he was fighting for him even though he had never met him. We were kept informed as the case moved through the system. We were very satisfied with the settlement of the case....

Posted by Jeff | November 20, 2014 | Family

He's the best, period...He cares, is honest, works very hard, does the legal research and he did not lose...

All of what I'm about to write is a matter of court record and can be corroborated as true: - I'm a non-biological father who when I met Bill, "I thought I WAS the biological father"... As soon as you can wrap your mind around that,, know he litigated the PA. law case in 2000-1 that won (me) legal... parental status for my daughter. The biological parents had tried to take my 3 (and later 4) yr old away from myself and our family (after the Mother and I had at 1st amicably split). We were not able to see Morgan for almost 4 months (12/1 - approx 4/1/2001, and yes we left the Christmas tree up for her). They intended for us to never see Morgan /again (and they put that in writing!) and were almost successful. Pretty sure this is close to the worse in terms of treating families, especially a child; but luckily and w/Gods and Bills help, we won. For more details on (the extensive legal briefs and research done by Councilor Friedlanders Firm, including his Mother/ who was a Judge), you can search PA. Law "Parent By Locatis", non-biological parents winning dual custody/legal parental status, and Judge Mott's ruling, from the Towanda PA. Ct House. Later, in 2003-5 he again won a 2nd case: - Where the biological father (who had been physical custody by the mother) had promised me that if I signed the papers to allow the legal status switch, nothing would change from our relationship of the last 2 years. Once signed, he sued myself and the mother for child support, made visitation a nightmare and this, after I had already and all along been supporting "our" daughter. Long story made short, Judge Mott ruled that a non-biological Father can not be held liable for support, any more than an Uncle, Grand-parent, stepfather or a friend could be held liable. Thus, the "Clerk's! initial ruling out of Towanda was over turned and we won. Again, for more details on (the extensive legal briefs and research done by Councilor Friedlanders Firm, including his Mother/ who was a Judge), you can search PA. Law "Parent By Locatis", non-biological parents w/dual custody/legal parental status, Legal obligation for support, and Judge Mott's ruling, from the Towanda PA. Ct House. Full disclosure: - I was referred to "Billy" in 12/2000 through my Mother, She met him when she was dating Tommy Hilfiger in the late 70's, when TH was still in Elmira & owned People's Place. - I continued to support my daughter after the 2004-5 case and still do as of this writing. She is pretty happy about that, because it now goes directly to her as an allowance for being a good kid, a straight A student and a wonderful daughter.
