When I tried to contact this lawyer he never contacted me back and when I tried to call him he was not available and did not answer his phone this person is not a good person to contact for his disability claim my mother recommended him and he never got back in touch with me would not recommend to an...yone.

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.

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.

Excellent Attorney

I think Mr. Friedman's firm is very, very good. I mean, it helped me out and I’m pretty sure that it would help a lot of other people out.

I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND MR FRIEDMAN

Mr. Friedman worked on two cases for me successfully. While working with the VA I filed for SS and was denied so my counselor recommended Mr. Friedman. While working on my SS claim he also worked on my VA Disability Claim. SS was finally approved at 100%, but VA only at 60%. He worked diligently ...on the case and just informed me today that I was upgraded to 100%. I appreciate all that he did for me and my family. A thank you just doesn't seem adequate.
