This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

If you’re facing a divorce, stop scrolling — I promise you, this is the attorney you NEED.

Benjamin Friedman is a rare force of nature — a mix of Harvey Specter’s precision and intelligence, and Louis Litt’s tenacity and obsessive attention to detail. He’s not the calm in the storm — he IS the storm. A pit bull with a heart, and a straight shooter with a mouth to match. He’s not polished f...or show — he’s the diamond in the rough you want & need when EVERYTHING is on the line. My ex was lying through his teeth, trying to take everything — even the only home my children and I had left after I became disabled. I was exhausted, defeated, and out of options. Ben stepped in, locked on, and outmaneuvered the opposition in every possible way. Within 13 days (yes, you read that right ... THIRTEEN days), without a single additional hearing, he made them fold and drop the case entirely. He protected our home — and gave us our stability, dignity, and peace back. Ben fights hard and fights smart. He’s blunt, fearless, and fiercely protective of his clients. He’ll tell you the truth, not what you want to hear, and then he’ll go win for you anyway. Underneath the grit is a heart that genuinely cares about justice and the people he represents. If you want an attorney who’s raw, real, and relentless — someone who’ll fight for you like it’s personal — hire Benjamin Friedman. I promise you, you’ll NEVER regret it!

Divorce Stalled

I wish I had done more research on this attorney. He was responsive at first but my case has not been filed and currently stalled due to his negligence.

Family First, Gets the job done...Classy

Ben was my divorce attorney...I truly can't say enough good about him. He has class that is unsurpassed in his industry...and his knowledge of the law and the inner workings of the court system is Amazing. Divorce is hard and unpleasant....at least you can have a great attorney and feel good about ...hiring a dedicated husband and father.
