I hired David and his firm to assist with a suspended firearm license. In much less time than he anticipated his firm had my permit reinstated. All of David’s team were helpful, professional, and reassuring. Their fees were more than reasonable. I would absolutely recommend David and his firm.

This review has been a long time coming. And now years later as new related issues arise do I realize how lucky I was to have David represent me. David represented me for a Family Law related case. Always was he kind and understanding to my situation but never gave me anything but real and honest answers to my questions and possible outcomes. And now years later, as my case is revisited in another state, David and his associates quickly answered emails and phone calls as I gather all the information. Then reach out to me to check that I didn't need anything further. Only now as I struggle to find someone nearly as good do I know. You can't do better than to choose 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 had an unexpected family court case pending and felt completely out of my element and found myself in desperate need of expert representation. In my search for an attorney the office of David Fried outshone all other prospects and my first call to his office was a Godsend. My first contact was with Attorney Adam Gonzalez who went above and beyond to reassure me during a most stressful time in my life. His advice was thorough, patient, and compassionate and at no point did I feel as if my initial call was an intrusion upon his time. That initial exchange convinced me that it was that kind of attitude and commitment that I wanted working on my behalf. Upon my first meeting with Attorney David Fried I had the strong impression of being in the presence of an expert; an intellectual committed to giving every individual client the importance they deserve. It was only natural that I hire Attorney David Fried, a veritable intellectual warrior, and his professional staff, to be my voice and guides in a potentially thorny legal dilemma, which they resolved favorably, I might add.

Dave Fried and his staff are consummate professionals that go far beyond the call of duty to achieve great results. From every call being answered immediately to every task being completed thoroughly, they rise to the occasion. Not one message that I sent was ignored and not one call was unreturned. Dealing with Dave Fried is the most satisfied that I have ever been with legal counsel. I would recommend Dave Fried to anyone in need of desire of an effective, respectful and caring lawyer.

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 effectively 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.

We recently hired David and his firm to draw up sensitive family documents. My family prolonged what should have been a quick process to several months and could have frustrated him. David was very patient and flexible with us. The documents were in great shape when we all met at his office. He treated everyone with great respect and care as he lead us through the material. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
