Negligent Death Lawsuit

I only have extremely good things to say about Attorney Friedlander. I met him after the wrongful death of my Mother in a Skilled Nursing Facility due to their negligence. When I consulted him about my case, he was very honest about finding out if I had a case or not. Ultimately, I did. I know he... went far and beyond my expectations for this lawsuit. Due to his expertise and knowledge and patience with me, I would recommend him to anyone in need of the type of services he provides. He was the consummate professional while maintaining a friendly and at times a little levity during an otherwise difficult time. I'm very appreciative of all his hard work and getting through so much "red tape" which seemed non-stop. He went to bat for me probably more times than I know. I absolutely have NO hesitation to recommend Attorney Friedlander for any of his services. I also commend his staff as well. My first and most important reason to file a lawsuit was to hopefully bring to light how badly untrained and even trained employees of Skilled Nursing Facilities treat the elderly patients. If this helps even one patient, then it's all been worth it. So, KUDOS to Attorney Friedlander for everything he did to help me do so. Thank you again!!

Steadfast, determined and skilled

Mr. Friedlander and his staff were consistent and reliable. He was straight forward and up front about what we should expect when we consulted with and hired him after a family member died in a fall while under the care of a nursing home. Our case was settled and as a result the nursing home admitt...ed their neglect. No amount of money could bring her back but at least the neglect didn't go unchecked; perhaps someone else will not suffer the same fate since the facility has implemented new in service training.

A NYS retribution

I'm very grateful for Attorney Friedlander and all his staff that worked for a settlement for my Mother's death due to wrongful death by negligence at a nursing home. It just confirms my belief that nursing homes are only there for the money, and many of the 18 year old kids working there, with no p...roper training, education, are totally unqualified and are also just there for a paycheck. God only knows what happens when there are no visitors or relatives there. From what I observed, many staff members were sharp, and disrespectful. There may be a day that these same people are unfortunate to be in a Nursing Facility, and are treated the same way that they treated the elderly as an employee. I can only hope that these nursing facilities can get their acts together sooner than later, knowing that there WILL be more lawsuits coming their way under their current "best practices". So, KUDOS to Attorney Bill Friedlander, Christa, Billie, and so many other people who helped win this battle and have provided some much needed closure during my time of much grief and sorrow. Thank you all so much!

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....
