Female Veteran OF The Vietnam Era, Wins Claims, with Robert A. Friedman

Robert A. Friedman Never Hesitated to Assist "This Female Veteran, from the Vietnam War Era and Won Her Claims." "Many Service Organizations Assisted and time and again, Her Claims were Denied from 1999-2014." " Other Attorney's refused to assist her, but not Robert A. Friedman!" "Thank you Robert..., Brenda and all Your Staff for your Compassion and Persistence in Winning her Claims!"

Stopped representing me

I hired this law firm for a Social Security Disability Claim. They took my case and when it came time for my hearing they stopped representing me shortly before the hearing. I talked to one of the lawyers at the firm at length and he was arrogant, rude, and condescending to me. I ended up going to... the hearing myself and won the case on the spot, the judge did not even make me wait for a decision so that I would not have a delay in my benefits.

Highly Recommended

In May of 2001 I filed a disability claim with the Dept of Veteran's Affairs on my own. After continuous denials, I decided to hire Robert Friedman in June of 2007 to fight for my service connected disability increase, with the Dept of Veteran Affairs. What impressed me the most about Mr. Fried...man, is his "Pittbull" approach. Mr. Friedman was always very professional, he kept me involved every step of the way. I really appreciate his quick attention to detail and straight forward approach with the intent of obtaining results for the case. Mr. Friedman has fought this long battle for several years. I'm happy to say as of June 2013, I was finally approved for my 100% service connected disability.

Helped with Social Security and VA claims

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.

Very good experience

The whole process was very smooth and professionally handled, the attorney was very polite and understanding, overall an excellent lawyer. if it was not from him, for sure, I would not have gotten the social security benefits for my son.
