Highly recommended

Ms. Freid in a wrongful discharge case. She was strong, ethical, supportive, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring. Mostly, she believed in me and guided me through a very difficult time in my life

The best

I have hired Ms Freid to represent my interest and have found her to be straight forward in her explanation of the case and has won me more than I had expected

Debra Freid

Ms. Freid handled my case against a large retail chain with superb skill and efficiency. She kept me in the loop and was responsive to me at all times. Her personal care, sense of humor and skill made the process painless and worry-free. The settlement I received was as much as we could have expec...ted, given all the factors of my injury. I highly recommend Ms. Freid.

Debra

Debra was amazing. She always took the time to listen no matter what. If I had a surgery she always called me to see if I was ok and if I needed anything

Attorney Recommendation

Ms. Freid was recommended to us by friends of ours that know Ms. Freid as a very highly professional, dedicated, and thorough attorney. We hired Ms. Freid to represent us after an auto accident (not our fault) we were involved in. My husband and I both sustained non-life threatening injuries. Going... through with a lawsuit as a result of an auto collision involves dealing with auto insurance companies, doctors, specialists, therapists, medical billing, etc. It's not an easy process and at times we were very frustrated. Ms. Freid would always listen to our concerns and frustratations and explain things and guide us at each step in the process so we understood what to expect next. The independent medical exams ordered by opposing counsel gave us anxiety but Ms. Freid either attended the appointment with us (if applicable) or made sure we were aware of what to expect. We always felt she had our best interests as #1 in any depositions, medical appointments, documentation, evaluations, etc. - even if we were not there with her, we knew we could count on her to speak for us. We knew that our case wasn't the only case she would be working on but if we had a meeting with her she would always be prepared to talk about us and our case as if we were her only case. The amount of paperwork in an auto collision case is daunting but Ms. Freid and her staff would always have the paperwork in order when necessary. We would recommend Ms. Freid to anyone looking for an attorney for representation after an auto accident resulting in an injury. We can both say that it wasn't all just work - we consider Ms. Freid and her staff as friends now too.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
