Medical Malpractice 50%

When doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malprac

Personal Injury 25%

A personal injury lawyer works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. For example, if you are in a car accident or are the victim of a botched surgery, a personal injury attorney can help. They know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages.

Excellent Lawyer

I have used Craig on a prior car accident case. I had great results, he fought the insurance company and got me three times what they had offered. The latest case was a dog mauling, he fought the insurance company for a little over a year and got me a substantial settlement. He is an excellent lawyer...!

Great competence and excellent communication

Craig Frischman's rating speaks for himself. I was referred to this great attorney by my colleague after I was involved in an auto accident. After the accident I suffered from a concussion for many months, but Craig made the communication process effortless and very smooth. Right after the accident I... met Craig in person and he was very professional, clear and straight to the point. He provided me with a detailed overview of the settlement process and patiently answered all my numerous questions. It took me over 1 year to heal and settle with the insurance company, but Craig has always been by my side supporting me with legal advice and emotionally. I was able to communicate with Craig via text, e-mails and phone calls apart of the in-person visits, which was very convenient. Craig negotiated multiple times with the insurance company on my behalf, and in the end achieved a great result. It's been pure pleasure working with attorney Frischman as he is very professional, responsive and competent.

Great Lawyer!

I was in a very serious car accident in January 2019, tow truck driver on the scene recommended Craig Frischman. From the beginning to the end Craig was very patient and helped guide me through the process tremendously. I’m very satisfied with my compensation and highly recommend if you are in need o...f a medical malpractice, car accident or personal injury attorney. Thanks again Craig Frischman and staff!

For Malpractice, the Best There Is

Bernie and Craig represented my niece in a misdiagnosis case for breast cancer. Not only were they her lawyers, but quickly became like family. Hers was a difficult case because of the type of cancer it was - fast growing with a bleak outlook - but they took on the task and got her a settlement t...hat took a big worry - finances - off of her mind and made her last days a little easier for her. They still follow up on her husband and family to this day, and have even helped her family with some of her estate work, which was definitely going above and beyond. But for Bernie and Craig, this is their style. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a legal team that is reachable and treats you like family, yet goes to the extreme to get you what you deserve.

Excellent Attorney

If you are looking for dedication, excellence, knowledge and honesty, Craig Frishman is an excellent choice. Our life had taken a turn that tested every limit we had emotionally, physically and financially. Craig was up front, honest, dependable, sympathetic, sincere and kind. His professional ex...pertise and dedication defines the expression “above and beyond.” His wealth and understanding of medical knowledge is incredible. Because of Attorney Frishman and his exceptional staff, we were able to give my husband the care, love and devotion he deserved (at home)! My husband’s quality of life was better because Craig fought, with no guarantee of compensation, with everything he had to give. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude for the exceptional way Craig represented my family. At a time of great loss he gave us hope. Linda Beck
