Mr.

My initial contact with Robert Friedman's Office was a result of an Internet Search in the hopes of finding a firm that would represent me in my Notice of Disagreement with the Veterans Administration. I received a call from a Case Worker in Mr. Friedman's office and later, from an attorney associat...ed with the firm. I was directed by the firm to send my "C File" and any additional information that was relevant to the case for their review. Shortly thereafter, I received a call from one of the attorney's associated with the firm indicating that they felt a case was in place and they would accept me as a client. Although a period of two (2) years elapsed, I was informed that this might be the case, "Up Front." When the adjudication did not come at the end of that period, the firm moved into action and within six (6) months the "Notice of Disagreement" was reviewed, resolved and a decision rendered. A sizable settlement, retroactive eight (8) years was won by the firm and I was pleased with the relief that came as a result of their efforts. I have since recommended Robert Friedman's Firm to other Veterans who have encountered similar resistance from the VA in processing their Claims, Notices of Disagreement and Appeals.

Protects and Empowers People with Disabilities

After she was denied twice (unjustly) for Social Security Disability benefits, Robert Friedman was able to win our daughter's SSI Appeal in less than 20 minutes in front of the ALJ. We are deeply grateful to him. We feel he is an excellent attorney and found his office staff to be both kind and pro...fessional towards us.

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.

worked for me

They took my case when others were afraid to. The volume business they do enables them to take on cases that others might consider "iffy". In the end, they got their six grand, and I got the benefits I had been paying for my entire working life.
