Excellent Service

I knew Lowell from a past meeting that was very brief. My wife filed for divorce and I interviewed 4 attorneys and Lowell was my 5th. Before I met with Lowell, I had pretty much made my mind up on attorney 3. My first meeting with Lowell was not rushed and I truly enjoyed speaking with him. He is... very relaxed and does not hide behind legalese. I am sure my divorce was one of the easier ones for his firm to handle. But what I liked about working with him, his assistant Alda and their receptionist Amber was their availability via phone and email. I needed an unexpected meeting with Lowell part way through and I had an appointment within 2 or 3 days and again it was not rushed. I think Lowell and his team have perfected the small firm concept.

Divorce

I recently hired Lowell Friedman of Friedman Law to help me with my divorce. I went into my divorce not knowing what to expect. From the day I met Mr. Friedman, he gave me a very clear explanation of how the process would go and answered any questions I had. Mr. Friedman is an honest, ethical, smart,... diligent attorney. I appreciate how efficient and direct he is – he and his staff always return phone calls and e-mail messages quickly. His office staff is very friendly and helpful. Mr. Friedman had my best interest in mind and helped me get an excellent settlement. I am very satisfied with the results of my case and highly recommend him to anyone. I am so thankful to Mr. Friedman for his dedication and professionalism in finalizing my divorce.

Trustworthy and Kind

I've heard so many horror stories about divorce that I was very hesitant to start the process. At the consultation, he took time to go over my case and answer any and all questions I had. I felt so at ease! During the whole process Mr Friedman and his staff were there for me emotionally too. Olga was... so fantastic and always checked in to make sure I was doing ok and make sure I had no concerns. I highly recommend Mr Friedman and his team.

Friedman Law "Excellent Lawfirm"

I came to Lowell's firm on a referral from a friend. My divorce was a nightmare, and my lawyer was only concerned about how much he would make. I was so frustrated with my divorce orders that I needed to have some type of relief. I called Lowell and he brought me into his office to listen to my ca...se. Lowell has got to be one of the most "down to earth" people I've ever met. I immediately felt comfortable with his firm representing me. The communication throughtout was excellent, and when Lowell felt it necessary, he contacted me personally, whenever he could fit the time in with his schedule. We recently returned to court, and were able to get a resolution that I felt comfortable with. I'm very pleased with the results and would most certainly call on Lowell for his services again.

A truly rare Attorney

Lowell is truly a unique attorney; he is talented, intelligent, down to earth, compassionate, and has an excellent grasp of the law, all of these things without being arrogant and/or condescending, as is often the case with highly talented attorneys. I have significant experience with attorneys h...aving worked with many of them, from all types of legal disciplines, throughout my management career. When it came time to find a personal attorney to represent me during my divorce I was more than aware of the disaster that poor representation could cause. Lowell was recommended to me by another attorney that I highly respected. His praise and recommendation was not misplaced. From the first meeting I could tell that Lowell knew what he was doing and that his primary goal was not to run up billing hours but to accomplish the task at hand with the least amount of suffering for both parties. Lowell went about his tasks from a consultive approach and was so effective that my wife replaced her attorney after several weeks because she realized that her attorney was aggressively running up unneeded billing hours. With her new attorney, Lowell was able to bring us to common ground and finalize the divorce in just over four months and for a minimal cost. Lowell's handling of the case saved me at least $50k and more importantly, Lowell and his staff saved my emotional sanity. Not only would I highly recommend Lowell, I have already recommended him. To this date, I have sent three of my friends to him and even my ex-wife uses him as her legal consul (I doubt many attorneys can claim that they are so good that the opposing party switches to them).
