Great work

Scott and his staff did a great job in my case. They had great communication and were able to solve everything without going to court.

Excellence Personified!

Scott Friedman and his staff were Amazing! Scott, Valerie, and Jamie handled my divorce case professionally, and with compassion. I was kept up to date with EVERY thing that was happening in my case. Scott and Valerie while were very sensitive to the intensity of my case, but they also kept me focus...ed on what mattered to the court. It is very easy to get emotionally side tracked in a divorce, but I trusted the advice they gave me and I followed it. Even though there was a lot of back and forth with my ex, Scott and Valerie stayed even tempered with the end goal in mind. Jamie stayed on top of all the filings, time stamped documents, etc and always sent updates in a timely manner. When I came in to sign my affidavits, Jamie was very warm and welcoming. I was extremely nervous and didn't know how my emotions would respond once the affidavits were placed in front of me. Because of the way Jamie handled me, I was able to take care of the business at hand, and I left feeling a bit empowered. Scott and Valerie kept it real with me, and because I followed their advice, my uncontested divorce was complete in 6months. Much quicker than I thought! My team was very thorough and smooth. I would recommend Scott Friedman for any legal need. Especially for divorce cases. They kept me focused on the things that would move me towards my end goal. They kept me from wasting a lot of time. His years of expertise caused him to see exactly the route I should go early in the case. He quickly came up with a plan, once he saw what he was dealing with, and we stayed the course. I am so grateful to Scott and his team, even though I have tried to put into words my incredible experience, with all I have said, it still doesn't scratch the surface. There are no words that adequately describe my gratitude, nor how wonderful my experience has been with Scott and his team. This outcome not only changed my life, but gave me my life back! Thank You Scott, Valerie, and Jamie! Blessings Always...

Excellent Attorney

A friend recommended Scott Friedman when I needed a divorce after 47 years of marriage. Scott and his associate, Rob Letson, walked me through what turned out to be a horrific situation. They were always on top of new information as it became available regarding my spouse. All emails were responded t...o in less than 24 hours and all questions and concerns I had were addressed completely. Scott was compassionate, professional, and my divorce was completed in an extremely timely manner. I highly recommend Scott Friedman as a divorce attorney.

Excellent Representation and Honest Communication from Mr. Scott Friedman and his entire staff!

Mr. Friedman's entire staff was very courteous and professional to work with during my recent dissolution case. While it wasn't how I expected for our marriage to end, Scott and his staff made it as simple as possible for the both of us. Both of us appreciated the honest communication and feedback ...Scott and his staff provided that significantly helped us with making long-term decisions and provided a shared parenting plan that worked well for our family.

Just because someone's name is on the building - doesn't mean they built it.

I would encourage you to look elsewhere when seeking a quote un quote "top notch" attorney. Just because someone's name is on the building - doesn't mean they built it. Too many charges for the same work that was done over and over due to Scott's personal situation. He would push things off to the... junior associates - who didn't really know what they were doing - causing and creating a situation that would replicate work and in turn - keep the meter running - driving up the cost of litigation. Too many of these "top" attorneys are friends with all the other "top" attorneys here in town - which creates a major conflict of interest when you are supposed to be getting representation for you and you only. In the most recent round of representation - Scott and his firm failed to inform me of the adverse effects the revised agreement would have on me financially. Who would agree to something that would cost them more money? Well when an attorney and his staff are only concerned about one thing and that thing being your money and how they can get their hands on it - be prepared for charges that you never dreamed up showing up on your monthly statement. They will not step up and admit when they make mistakes - such as in my case. They blamed me for not informing them of the situation - they got it wrong - they were to inform me - I didn't go to law school - they did. To blame a client that they didn't inform them - absurd - considering they had all the information they needed to properly represent me and they failed to do so. I would encourage you to look elsewhere - when looking for "top notch" representation. Just because they are the most expensive - doesn't necessarily mean they are the best. Remember - divorce lawyers love drama - makes then more money and if they don't put a stop to the endless lying and false statements - are they really doing their job? Failed on so many fronts - seek counsel elsewhere.
