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.

Success in Warren, MI

I contacted the Friedman Law Firm in June 2018 regarding a traffic incident in Warren, MI on June 2, 2018. Lowell Freidman & his office acted swiftly, responded to my request to represent me at a formal hearing in Warren MI, sent me the positive result in July, right after the hearing. He got the p...ositive result I was hoping for. Thank you, Freidman Law! Sincerely, B. Snowden

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.

Nice guy, bad lawyer

I hired Lowell Friedman for two family court issues and paid him the non-refundable retainer he asked for. We consulted several times regarding both issues. He handled the first part of my case then abruptly told me I didn't have a strong case for the second issue. He refused to refund the other half... of my retainer and stopped returning correspondence. Be aware his office does not send invoices. I had to request an invoice countless times to get an accounting of my retainer balance.

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.
