Richard Allen Friedman II

I went through many years of an awful custody battle and many many lawyers who promised to do everything they could for me only to end up sitting in court silent while I was crucified by my ex's lawyer and then walk out of court with excuses for THEIR actions. Mr. Friedman had his hands full with my ...case by the time I went to him. And needed to correct all the damage from my previous so called attorney's but he never batted an eye and he followed through with everything he said he was going to do. Once we got to court he actually went toe to toe with my ex's lawyer and I was finally able to start getting results for once. I remember one night before court, I had to take him some papers and he was there with us until about 10pm in his gym clothes getting my case ready for the following day. And when I was terrified to go into the courtroom he always made me feel better and I knew I could actually trust him. I will forever be greatful.

I just read a review on this site from Bobby, who hired Mr. Friedman to handle his custody case with a difficult ex. My name is Bobby and I hired Mr. Friedman. Perhaps there are 2 clients that have the same name with similar cases at the exact same time. Mr. Friedman was terribly unprepared and did n...ot even show up for one court date. I paid him over 30,000 dollars and lost every aspect of the custody case, and the divorce is still not settled. I have hired a new attorney and would not recommend Mr. Friedman to do anything.

I hired Mr. Friedman to represent me in my custody case. I was not happy with my previous attorney and was looking for new representation. When I first met with him, I was extremely stressed, as this case had been going on for years and I needed resolution. I immediately felt comfortable with him ...and his staff. From the first meeting forward, I was confident that I made the right decision to retain his firm. I had never felt more in control of my situation, and was finally seeing progress in my case! Mr. Friedman is very knowledgeable and compassionate, and I felt that he really cared about what was best for me and my children. The fees were expensive, but worth every penny. My case has now been resolved to my satisfaction and I couldn't be happier!
