Mr. Friedman is one of the best attorneys. He helped me out with my auto accident while I got rear-ended. The opponent's insurance company was very, very hard to work with. Mr. Friedman came in to help me at that very crucial time when I didn't know what to do.

The absolute greatest experience dealing with a law professional. Very easy to talk to, my guy Mike Silverman breaks everything down that I don't understand so calmly until I fully understand what's about to happen every single step of the way. He was very smart in the medical field as well as the law field, and made me feel very comfortable and warm. Would recommend this firm to every single body I talk to.

Jeff Friedman was very excellent in handling my husband's worker's comp case. He was very personable and understanding to all of our concerns. He treated us with respect. My husband's situation was not one that was going to bring a large settlement but we were still treated as important.
