Excellent attorney I recommend him

Great lawyer, he has excellent people skills, and very caring and trustworthy. Michael Friedman kept me well informed of my case. Answered every email and every phone call. Thanks again.

Unrelenting pursuit of justice

Mr. Friedman helped my family through a really rough time. He kept us calm and informed every step of the way. His attention to detail and unrelenting diligence in his pursuit of justice was amazing. I would recommend Attorney Friedman to everyone.

A great lawyer and now a trusted friend

when i went to see Mike about my case, i had met with alot of lawyers and most just wanted money upfront. it seemed that my problem was not nearly as important getting paid. Mike was really cool to deal with. we sat down and talked like friends. he was really smart, and easy to talk to, and knew ...what to do to get it straightened out. I was in bad shape and with the other lawyers all wanting alot of cash, i was scared. a friend said to talk to mike and he was really great. he took care of my case, got it all worked out and was cool about money. it took me a while to pay him but he was cool about it the whole time, never got mad at me he just said whenever you can take care of your bill, i know you will, i am not worried. now, i can call him up and ask questions anytime i like, he has turned into a good friend. if you are in trouble, Mike is the man!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
