David Fried

David Fried and Adam Gonzalez did an excellent job representing my partner and I in a recent business dispute. My business partner and I had been in a dispute with a distributor. Communication was so bad that they were no longer answering our phone calls or e-mails. We hired David Fried's law ...firm for representation. They laid out several paths that we could go down, ultimately recommending that we begin with the (cheaper and quicker) path of peaceful negotiations before commencing a lengthy lawsuit. David and Adam immediately opened up communication with the other party and ultimately we were able to negotiate a settlement that saved our business. The best part was that they were able to save us the time, stress and expense of a lengthy lawsuit all while getting us the outcome that we wanted in the first place.

I hired David to represent me on a court-sponsored divorce mediation. The case ended up to be more complex than it appeared on first blush due to many irregularities in the procedures of the other party. David was able to consistently get good information, give reliable advice, and work effectivel...y with the court. He steered me away from strategies that would have been counter-productive, and on some complex issues, offered creative solutions which simultaneously simplified things and brought benefit to me as the client. Thanks to his astute work, and his guidance on which issues were important and which weren't, I reached an agreement that I could live with, and move forward from a difficult situation. I was occasionally frustrated at the pace at which things moved, but in retrospect, those were for the most part inevitable in the court process, or due to the other party. During stressful times, I often found his able administrative staff would get back to me and address my concerns, which made the complicated and stressful process of divorce more bearable. In engaging David, you can also have a sense of ease in knowing that you are working with a person of who strives for high integrity, has an excellent command of the law, and has a deep commitment to community and public service.

I was in a really bad way and felt like I had no one in my corner. I was uncertain, scared and highly stressed. David Fried walked me through each and every aspect of my case and kept in touch with me regularly. It is very difficult when you are in a predicament you don't fully understand and are ...apprehensive of you who you can trust. A lawyer is someone who you have to place your life (literally) in their hands! I am very grateful to have had David Fried as my lawyer and would recommend him to anyone. He has a sincere work ethic and really follows through. He puts you at ease and makes sure you understand every aspect of what is happening with your case. I needed that because there were nights when I could not sleep. He put my mind as ease and did a terrific job of getting my life back and on track. Excellent lawyer!
