This was not an easy decision and it was important for me to know that the person I chose to work with would take my case for all the right reasons. Paul was always empathetic and sensitive to my own and my family's grief. There are no words to describe my gratitude to Paul and his staff. I don't make it a practice to refer my friends and family to just anyone BUT I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul.

I had a class action lawsuit against myself and my former company. Paul Friedman could not have been more professional and steadfast when dealing with my case. Paul kept me up-to-date on a regular basis and answered every question I had. He was straight to the point and allowed me to feel absolutely comfortable that he was handing my lawsuit. I cannot recommend Paul Friedman and BSEH&J enough for the great service I received. Thank you so much!

Dr. Friedman represented us in a medical malpractice action years ago and has maintained communication with us since that time. He was a trusted advocate and handled the case ethically and with precision.

We have never been involved in a lawsuit. We absolutely had no idea what to expect when hiring an attorney for our toddler’s medical malpractice case. When our son was seriously injured sustaining from negligent surgeries performed by a surgeon who allegedly concocted lies about our son’s medical records to substantiate for unnecessary surgeries and excessive billing, we cautiously browsed the web and then the Arizona State Bar for information. We interviewed several so-called “personal injury specialists” from renown law firms but none was interested in taking our son’s case. All suggested we should find a different lawyer before the statue of limitations runs out, hinting not because our son’s case was complex; it simply was frivolous that there was no merit to it. One law firm actually had us waited over 2 months then figuratively told us to go pound sand since their paralegal nurses found no merit to the case. Paul Friedman, JD, PhD with an additional degree in ethics was quite different. He saw our son's case thru different lenses. He patiently listened to our side of the story. He took time review our son’s 2000 plus-page medical records and our photographic documents. When Paul finally agreed to consider our son’s case we felt much relieved. It actually was leaps and bounds for us. From the get go Paul was professional and accessible. He remained so throughout. He took his time to educate and inform us what transpired in the case. No phone calls went unanswered. No emails were un-replied. Paul was very knowledgeable and had the resources to make the right connections to successfully fight against one the renown pioneers who originally wrote the malpractice laws in Arizona. Paul hired the best expert witnesses. He’s well versed and could easily navigate the legal landscape with his savant legal mind. After a lengthy legal course Paul successfully resolved our son’s case. He even generously reduced 20% of his fees. We were astounded at Paul’s service and generosity. They far exceeded our expectations. We owe a deep gratitude to his involvement and his staff, Ms. Anita who never once made us feel insignificant. All and all we highly recommend Paul. We wholeheartedly believe you are in good hands if Paul agrees to take your case.

I was uncertain if I required a lawyer or even if I should pursuit legal action in my workplace. I have known Dr. Friedman for many years however never in a client-attorney relationship. I asked him for input mainly because I respect him and trust him. I do not normally like lawyers. Dr. Friedman was very patient and listened to me which was at the time what I needed the most. He validated my concerns and at the same time gave me knowledgeable and practical advice on how to achieve the best results without litigation. I felt at ease that he made my claim resonate louder than if I would have done this on my own. And he helped me achieve the best results in the least amount of time and without me emotionally investing my sanity. And I know, that I can count on him representing me should the need arise. I feel very priviledge to have him as my lawyer.

I have retained Paul Friedman twice in two separate professional breach of contract actions. Dr. Friedman was conservative with his billing practices and the results were better than expected which was much appreciated and the reason I will continue to utilize his services if needed. He was very responsive to my questions or comments and handled my cases with diligence and respect.

Dr. Friedman helped me on a healthcare matter. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable but he was also very caring and empathetic to my needs. I have also been involved with Dr. Friedman's teaching and he is a dynamic and entertaining facilitator. I would highly recommend Dr. Friedman in the healthcare field.

Dr. Friedman was interviewed, initially, because of the impression he made on a trusted advisor. Following a meeting in which Dr. Friedman exuded strong personal integrity, professional decorum, and commanding-intelligence, a search was conducted on his academic and career-defining pursuits. At the time, Dr. Friedman was both teaching and studying Ethics. This discipline, which Dr. Friedman appeared to engage in with rigor, was the over-arching reason for the trust I subsequently placed in him. He has since delivered a mounting case to affirm my respect for his legal acumen and above-board professional practices. He carries out his responsibilities with admirable aplomb and applies himself-- in my observation-- constructively, methodically, and deliberately in assuring the protection of his legal charges. Dr. Friedman spurs my enthusiastic recommendation for the full measure of his talent and perspicacity as it relates to the ethical and propitiously-demanding practice of law.
