Estate Planning 35%

Probate 35%

Probate is a court process designed to ensure that a decedent's assets are distributed to the deceased's loved ones if the deceased has a will or to the deceased's "heirs at law" if the deceased's does not have a will. In a probate the court supervises the administration and distribution of the assets and makes sure that all creditors are paid before distributions to beneficiaries can be made.

Divorce and Separation 30%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

The best in Broward for family estate litigation

Atty. Friedman handled a very complicated family estate matter for me as the personal rep. I am grateful and have high respect for his services. Living out of state at a great distance from FL concerned me but Atty. Friedman was efficient and prompt in all matters in handling the estate litigation an...d settlement. Always returned phone calls and emails promptly, kept me informed and provided guidance and education as the process unfolded. As this was my first experience in settling an estate and the family issues involved, I found Atty. Friedman to be honest and upfront. His years of experience are valuable in the Broward Cty System. His fees are also very reasonable.

Honest, professional friendly

Mr Friedman handled my divorce case, from the very beginning he was up front and honest. He has a world of knowledge in divorce cases. He fought hard to win my case and I really appreciated the way he handled my case.

Probating Estate

Mr. Friedman was very helpful with my mother-in-law's estate. We lived out of state and not familiar with Florida law. Mr. Friedman assisted us in filing probate and dealing with issues that came up with her estate. He was excellent in communicating and quick to respond to the family by email and ...phone when we had questions and keeping us updated as to the status of probate. What could have be a long and painful process proceed very quickly and without incident.

well worth his fee

invaluable. My friend died several years ago naming me as trustee. There were five beneficiaries sharing percentages of the estate. Mr. Friedman handled all the paperwork and financial calculations required for which I had no expertise. He also spent many hours on the phone with her investment c...ompany and filled out their many page forms. In addition, he dealt with her publisher and advised me on handling her royalties. All this and more allowed me to do the things I needed to do such as preparing /selling a condo and properly disposing of all her personal assets. The CPA Steven recommended was just as invaluable in dealing with the IRS. I definitely have complete faith in these two gentleman! Since I do not live in south Florida I do not anticipate using their services again, but, if I did live there I would hire them both again without a doubt.
