Hire this firm

Kim was the best. She took over my divorce after another lawyer created a mess. Kim was professional, kind and honest. She made a difficult time in my life much less stressful.

Top Law Firm in the Metro Detroit Area

Back in January, I reached out to Lowell Friedman's offices and I would have to say it was one of the best decisions I had ever made. I had gotten myself into some pretty serious trouble (DUI) and also picked up a few other charges with the City of Royal Oak and I was so nervous and worried about ...what was going to happen. But when I had my first consulting session with Lowell, he was able to really make me feel relaxed and assure me that there was a remedy. From the front desk staff, legal assistants and even the associates, everyone was very friendly, compassionate and professional. Lowell, James, Rene and Olga went above and beyond making sure all the information was communicated to me promptly about my court date and making sure I understood everything that was happening every step of the way. Lowell's Offices also had reasonable rates and were even able to put me on a payment plan. I would highly recommend Lowell and his team to anyone who may be in a tough situation and may need legal assistance.

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).

Knowledgeable and Trustworthy

While going through my divorce Mr. Friedman was extremely knowledgeable, aware of intentions of all parties involved, caring and empathetic. I really felt that his experience was insightful to reach the goals we had set which was very important to me. His calm and poised demeanor really helped make... an awful experience tolerable. He kept me educated and informed but not overwhelmed. I am very grateful for his services!

Professional Attorney

My experience with Mr. Friedman was extremely positive. He was kind and compassionate during my case. This was very helpful as I was a nervous wreck and needed someone who could understand my concerns and fears. Mr. Friedman knew the laws and negotiated perfectly for me. My ex-wfie told me after ...the case that she should've hired him! The only less-than-perfect part was that he is in court so much, sometimes its hard to get a hold of him. He gave me his cell phone to help that out.
