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.

Empathetic, compassionate, determined and diligent. The best lawyer ever.

From my initial call attorney Frischman was compassionate and empathetic about my injury. He met me at a location of my convenience. Covid set us back however,, throughout my case he always updated me with legal information and counseled me with legal advice. He returned my emails, calls or texts p...romptly at various times, nights, weekends or even when he was on vacation. Makes you feel like you really matter. He fought for me to get the best settlement even when I was ready to give up. I am very satisfied with the end result. I would recommend him and use him again. Best service I have ever recieved. If it would have been appropriate to do so, I would have given him a huge hug for helping me greatly with this settlement.

Incredible help with malpractice

I worked most closely with Craig, which I'm grateful for. He handled my case with sensitivity, empathy, professionalism, and a deep commitment to helping my family. Especially for dealing with malpractice, I can't recommend any firm more. They diligently reviewed all the evidence, obtained expert wit...ness testimony, and consulted with us about the best course of action.

The best!

Craig was my mother’s attorney in a prolonged, complicated medical malpractice case. His professionalism was exemplary. He treated my elderly mother with kindness, dignity and respect. He never gave up on the case and was always responsive to our questions. I would highly recommend Craig.

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

Posted by Barb | January 11, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

I would hire him again

I contacted Craig after a recommendation from a family member, after I had fallen on ice in a restaurant parking lot. From the beginning, Craig was very frank with me regarding slip and fall accidents. He spoke on my level in terms I could understand. I became frustrated about 6 months into the case... as I really hadn't heard any news. Craig was very understanding, and explained how this was normal, and that most cases don't settle until much later. Again, he treated me with respect, and spoke to me , not as a know it all lawyer, but as a caring person. At month 10 he told me that the restaurant would settle with me. For a larger amount that I ever expected ( I do have long lasting, probably permanent problems from the fall). He also got a larger settlement than what was first offered, and got my medical lien reduced by half. I'm able to breathe a little easier now, and will be forever indebted to Craig and his team. I hope I never have to contact him again professionally, but if needed, I will.
