All talk, no action, except bills!!!!!!!!!!

I was sent to Mr. Fried for a very simple case. Robert handed the case off to another lawyer at his firm saying that he would “oversee” the case. That lawyer then handed it off to another lawyer saying that “he would oversee the case” That apparently means that you pay for 3 lawyers while nothing hap...pens on the case. They completely botched the case, and apparently had no idea what they were doing. It took them over two months to tender the case to my insurance, in the mean time running up over $30,000 in legal fees for me to pay. Not ethical at all. The new lawyer settled the case in under 5 hours, and wasted neither time nor money. Complete waste of time!

The attorneys in the construction field who handled this matter are no longer with the firm. While I disagree with the articulated comments, I respect any client who expresses their opinions freely

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.
