Not helpful

Robert Friedman was representing my son and decided he would lighten his case load dropping my son's case. This resulted my review of my son's file and I couldn't believe all of the items that were missing. He is not diligent, did not speak with my son in the process, he did not have my son's primary... doctor engaged at all on his application and my son's file got all the way to pre hearing despite the massive errors. I cannot recommend Robert Friedman to anyone.

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.

Mediocre

After calling Robert's office, I was assigned a junior attorney who did hardly anything to prepare for the appeal hearing. We went in without even an independent doctor's review and lost the appeal.
