Professional, Competent, Gets Results

Lincoln Sieler has been a real advocate for me during a time of tremendous difficulty. He handled my case in a professional, competent and genuinely caring manner. Lincoln's support provided me with optimism and reassurance during the process. He was quick to respond to my questions and concerns and ...got results for my insurance claim. I highly recommend him and his firm, Friedman Rubin. They have a proven record of excellence and are adept in acquiring substantial settlements for their clients.

Knowledgeable and Trustworthy lawyer

Lincoln is extremely knowledgeable in his field of law and made me feel comfortable from the very first meeting. I trust him completely and he is always there for you to answer any questions or simply listen to your concerns. I couldn't recommend a better lawyer.

A knowledgeable, professional personal injury attorney

Lincoln Sieler is a fantastic lawyer and I highly recommend him if you are interested in working with someone who is very knowledgeable about insurance. He is also extremely well connected with his clients and promptly responds to emails and phone calls. Lincoln has also been very helpful explaining... complex situations to all of us and doesn't hesitate to explain things multiple times until we fully understand what is occurring and what we need to do next. He was also very supportive in working with insurance companies on our behalf. Lastly, Lincoln is very professional while still maintaining a friendly, approachable atmosphere in his office. I highly recommend Lincoln Sieler if you are working with insurance companies related to personal injury.

Grateful

Lincoln Sieler handled my case. The loss of my husband, in a sensitive, respectful , thoughtful and might I add knowledgeable and efficient manner. Our family could not have been in better hands than with the professional services of Lincoln and staff at Friedman and Rubin. Lincoln was my first and... lead contact. Where he could have had staff handle phone calls with me he often chose to communicate directly. Quite a Lawyer ! Quite a Team ! I told Lincoln a time or two my husband would have really liked him. One of my memories we were on a flight home, myself, Lincoln and two others from the firm. We had been in mediation all day . I looked over at the 3 of them not knowing the out come but feeling so grateful I had this team of hard working individuals on my side.
