Posted by Paul | January 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Marriage & Prenuptials

Beware

Nearly 18 months into my case, a judge told him that he was shocked as to how he had mismanaged my case. He made mistakes on several different RFOs which he filed. In my opinion, he made agreements throughout the case that turned out to be not to my benefit. He made a major blunder in my final settle...ment agreement. Nearly 18 months into my case, he admitted that he never read my "Pre-nup Agreement". In my opinion, based on his negotiations, I'm pretty sure he also never read my "House Agreement". He tried to blame his mismanagement on everyone else but himself. One day, he even tried to blame me until his associate shut him down. In my opinion, due to his mismanagement, mistakes and inability to get the important things accomplished, I lost a tremendous amount of money in addition to the tremendous amount of fees he billed me. I got rid of him and had another firm finish my case. In my opinion he is the worst attorney I have ever worked with.

Reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy

I wish I could give more stars. I would have suffered great losses without this firm. Mr. Friedman and his staff have dealt on my behalf without waiver, dealing with multiple frivolous and egregious filings from a malicious party and his disreputable representation. He not only protected my intere...sts, he has obtained favorable decisions and even sanctions against the attorneys. Mr. Friedman is an attorney who fought hard for me and I have complete confidence in this firm.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Over many years, when I have needed input on California law or required anything for a client from public authorities in California, I have called upon Ira and never been disappointed. His keen insights into human nature combined with his knowledge of California law make him my "go-to" counsel there."

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.
