William S. Friedlander

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!!

In December 2007, I was stunned and completely devastated with the loss of my Father. He had gone to a rehabilitation/nursing home for a scheduled 3 weeks to improve the strength in his legs after being ill. The plan was rehabilitation and then return to his home for his active life. Dad left th...at facility in an ambulance and was dead 31 days after arriving there for basic rehabilitation. Refusal by the staff doctor to follow my Fathers hospital discharge orders, nurses and aids not following standard care procedures resulted in daily errors and problems. All of my requests for doctor consultation were ignored. The staff discarded daily notes from me. How could this happen? Why?? After spending weeks of sleepless nights, I consulted a friend who gave me countless reasons to just accept my Fathers death and heal. I couldn’t let it go. I heard my Dad’s painful screams from the skin being eaten off his legs due to poor hygiene from the Nurses. I saw the hopelessness in his eyes when I explained there were no other facility openings to transfer him. I watched his dignity and will to live diminish. NO ONE DESERVES that type of treatment. I was then referred to Bill Friedlander Esq., Friedland & Friedlander Law Firm.. We met and after explaining how difficult it is to prove my allegations, Bill miraculously accepted the case. Bill discovered cover-ups, lies, corporate mishandlings, state regulation violations, ineptness – he just kept investigating even after their insurance company filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Every legal filing was delayed, counter filed, this case dragged on for years, with no remorse or acknowledgement. I was discouraged, but Bill and his associate Dave Hoey convinced me that the nursing home was trying to break me by dragging this out until I would just give up. After a 13 day trial and hung jury, Bill continued fighting for my Father – He and Dave Hoey were relentless. Finally the Nursing Home and their Doctor caved (3 weeks prior to the next scheduled trial). William Friedlander Esq. and David Hoey, Esq. had won Justice for my Dad and the case was settled. I will never be able to express my gratitude to these two Attorneys who fought so hard for my Dad. The passion and kindness shown to me during this 7 year ordeal will always be with me. Carla

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.

I fell approximately thirty feet onto asphalt when the fire escape steps broke. Mr. Friedlander, after hiring an investigator to evaluate the building and fire escape, managed to have a satisfactory settlement mediated. I have signed a waver saying I will not discuss how satisfactory the amount of ...the settlement was, however I retain the right to confirm there was a settlement. Afterwords, he help me set up an annuity to manage the settlement. Both Mr. Friedlander and his staff were courteous, professional and helpful throughout the process.

I was the victim of an extremely violent assault while visiting upstate NY. I was recommended to Mr Friedlander and he was more than anxious to take my case. I barely heard from him in the year since my assault and I finally got a letter, not even the decency of a phone call, saying that because the ...establishment where I was assaulted has no insurance that he's dropping my case. I at 1 year since the event and I don't even know if the statue of limitations for this have expired. Stay as far away from this guy and his firm they are less than professional. In the few interactions I had with them I received documentation for other clients lawsuits. He had a year to establish that there was no insurance that he could go after and did nothing for me what so ever.
