OUTSTANDING!

Her office returned my call the same day I left a message for her. She did not have an opening in her schedule that worked with mine, but she made time to meet with me anyway. She was there for me from the first time we spoke. Her knowledge of the law and direct advice was always accurate. I had a...n especially contentious divorce. My ex-husband did everything to afford himself the upper hand and was the sole provider in our marriage. I needed someone who was going to fight for me, and Mrs. Fried dialed into exactly what my ex-husband was trying to do in no time. Mrs. Fried was unwavering in my defense and if you’re reading this, don’t necessarily let the number of reviews for an attorney be the deciding factor for who you choose. I felt like a million dollars the first day of mediation when I could tell how highly respected by the magistrate she was. On more than one occasion, he told me that I had one of the only attorneys in the area who comes prepared with their paperwork, and boy was he right! The day that the court finally awarded me emergency spousal support, I got it the very same day because of how hard she fought and because she was done with the paperwork before we ended our Zoom call! On the last day of mediation, it was apparent we might have to go to trial the next day. The magistrate told me he knew I didn’t want to have to do that, and he was right. However, by this time working with Mrs. Fried, I knew that if we had to she would be ready to go. Mrs. Fried is an exemplary attorney. So much that I know for a fact my ex tried to find a new one halfway through the divorce. He was looking for someone who was also board certified in marital and family law, like Mrs. Fried is. She is a champion of women and a warrior! It was the best call I have ever made, and I can’t imagine what would have happened if I had not called her office that day. In no uncertain terms, Mrs. Fried saved my life.
