Stewart D Fried

I have hired Stewart in eight separate matters over the course of the last 12 years; he has represented and/or advised me both personally and through my business interests. At all times I have found him to be very professional, ethical, courteous and attentive regardless of only a few thousand dollar...s or millions of dollars being at stake. Twice I have watched him take the deposition of the opposing side where his questions blew multiple holes in their cases; within a week of one of those depositions, the plaintiff dismissed with prejudice their case against me. About 7 or so years ago I remember calling Stewart after hours on his cell phone to ask him a question. Towards the end of the conversation, I asked how his pregnant wife was doing. He responded that she went into labor an hour ago and that they were currently driving to the hospital. THAT is how dedicated he is to his clients. Stewart has always been upfront and beyond reproach with his advice and professional opinions on matters. More than once, he has given me advice and/or a case assessment that was contrary to what I hoped to hear. Each time he was completely correct thereby saving me hundreds of thousands of dollars in liability and an untold amount of attorney’s fees. I have recommended Stewart to multiple friends and business associates. Each and every one of them has been completely satisfied with his superior legal representation and they too have recommended him to others. I highly recommend Stewart Fried to anyone in need of competent, thorough and trustworthy legal advice and/or representation.

I used Mr. Stewart Fried in a potential litigation case in the District of Columbia. This association was short and very bad experience for me. I do not live in the District of Columbia but the matter at hand required local counsel. Mr. Fried made representations to me that our personal counsel of 2...0 years could not believe because they would have required enormous expenditures to litigate with little to gain. On the recommendation of our personal counsel Mr. Fried was dismissed and alternative counsel was engaged. Mr. Fried is not someone I could trust.
