Robert A. Friedman

Robert is a very knowledgeable and aggressive lawyer. After being denied by both Social Security and VA Robert and his staff fought to get me what I knew I deserved. I have recommended him to several friends. Robert is a excellent lawyer,he took my case when a lawyer in my own state wouldn't. He even... referred me to another lawyer to help a family member with a legal matter that his office doesn't handle.

While working with a state agency counselor I was assigned too to aide me in gaining the skills necessary to successfully find and hold on to a job, after having bounced from job to job year after year and seeking mental health counseling and treatment. I with her help enrolled in community college c...ourses for students with disabilities, after taking several classes with little or no success she recommended I apply for SSDI. When I first applied for SSDI and began the enormous and extremely arduous red tape trail the Social Security Administration laid before me I had no sense of direction or compass to guide me. My counselor mentioned Mr. Friedman and to give his office a call. I took her advice and called, Mr. Friedman, very graciously and with all professionalism accepted me as his client. My case did not fall in the cookie cutter requirements of the SSA, as a skilled and knowledgeable litigator he was successful in showing the SSA the errors of its way. Words alone can’t express the patience and understanding he afforded myself and my family, with all the questions, concerns, etc. we had while the case was in litigation. He is currently aiding me in seeking and receiving veteran’s disability benefits. Should anyone need SSI, SSDI or veterans benefits he is the attorney you want call above any other you might even consider.

Friedman enthusiastically took my case 9 months ago. I told him that SS Disability had only looked at a small percentage of the ER visits and other medical evidence that supports my claim. They received all the files that SS had obtained and did no independent research of their own, they never had me... review the medical reports that were submitted by private practice MDs or by the Sham MDs who work for SS. 30 days before my hearing, one of Friedman's underlings contacted me by phone and asked me why I felt I had a winnable case. I could not believe my ears, this question being asked just 20 working days before a hearing that I've been waiting for 9 months to come about. At this time, the attorney told me that Friedman was no longer interested in having me as a client. I sent Friedman a registered letter that spells out what I think of him and his band of lazy lawyers who are only after the easy money cases that require no leg work, but he apparently wasn't man enough to accept the letter that was addressed for his eyes only. The letter was returned to me unopened today. The future of my family hinges on the outcome of this case and Friedman gave me no more service or consideration than a hamburger gets on the assembly line at Burger King.
