Outstanding Experience!

I reached out to Tor Friedman in a moment of genuine crisis. The police had followed up on an old warrant, and I had no idea what to do or what might happen next. From our very first conversation, Tor gave me the reassurance I needed. His calm, confident presence grounded me when I was completely ove...rwhelmed. Tor handled everything with incredible efficiency. He filed the paperwork right away, kept me informed throughout the process, and was quick to answer my numerous questions. I was particularly worried about the expense, but I didn't need to be. He offered a rate that was more than fair and gave me a generous window for payment. More importantly, he made me feel like he genuinely cared about my case. He was empathetic and non-judgmental, qualities that especially stood out when dealing with such a stressful (and frankly embarrassing) situation. Thanks to Tor, that situation is resolved now. The charge was dismissed and I'm free to move on with my life. I'd recommend his services to anyone who needs legal help, especially those who are feeling lost / don't know where to start. He guided me through a truly frightening experience with patience, clarity, and compassion, making it clear every step of the way that he was 100% in my corner.

Worth His Weight In Gold

I initially reached out to Mr. Friedman concerning a case my husband had pending from several years ago, and after the initial consultation we decided to hire him. He was fair and clear concerning the pricing and was willing to allow us to make a down and monthly payments on the remainder. Mr. Fried...man was able to secure my husband's release from an out of state county jail on the FL warrant. From that point on he has kept both my husband and myself updated concerning every aspect of the case. Mr. Friedman and everyone that we've dealt with at his office have been extremely professional. While we pray we never need a criminal attorney again, both my husband and myself would recommend him to anyone who finds there self in a bad situation without hesitation! Mr. Friedman will fight for you without judging you and will make sure that you have a fair outcome, he's a light when you're in a dark place in life! People like Mr. Friedman help give you faith in the US legal system. If you need an attorney THIS IS YOUR GUY!!!

Great attorney

Tor Friedman was a great help and comfort during a most difficult time. Being so far away and feeling very helpless, Tor managed to walk us thru every step of the process, was immediate to answer our questions and concerns and in the end resolved our case way beyond our hopes and expectations. We hop...e no parent has to go through what we did but if you do, Tor is the person you need to help you through it.
