About

began practicing law in the state of New York in 1980, where I spent seven years serving local residents. In 1987, I moved to South Florida to assist individuals with their estate planning and probate needs. Over the course of my career, I have helped thousands of people with a wide range of legal issues involving wills, trusts and estate planning. My practice focuses first and foremost on creating simple, effective and cost efficient wealth distribution and wealth protection plans for my clients. In my three decades of years of legal practice, I have learned there is no universal plan for all people. For this reason, my goal is to never give individuals a cookie-cutter estate plan option. By working closely with my clients, I am able to understand their personal objectives, needs and resources. From there, I craft a plan around their specific lifestyle and family situation. In some cases I help clients draft a will or create a living trust. Other individuals only want to set up a powers of attorney or conservatorship. Since every financial situation is different, some clients benefit greatly from inheritance tax planning, while others don't. My goal and promise to you is always to serve you and your family first and foremost, catering to your personal needs. I have also gained vital experience as a court lawyer, fighting for my clients in front of a judge or jury when necessary. In fact, I have tried hundreds of court cases over the course of my career. My ultimate goal is to find a quick and fair resolution to your legal concerns, minimizing the amount of time you spend in court. That is why anytime I am presented with a will, trust or probate litigation matter, I focus on reaching a compromise between disputing parties. When selecting a lawyer for your estate planning or probate needs, it's important to know their credentials. It is also helpful to review previous results and past client testimonials, as this can reveal the true nature of a legal representative. I always treat my clients with compassionate legal support, working hard to meet their most pressing needs. My experience, work ethic, integrity, compassion and hands on approach to solving your legal issue distinguishes me from other lawyers. As a Pembroke Pines estate planning lawyer, I am always available to help local residents with their future legacy planning.

Atty. Friedman handled a very complicated family estate matter for me as the personal rep. I am grateful and have high respect for his services. Living out of state at a great distance from FL concerned me but Atty. Friedman was efficient and prompt in all matters in handling the estate litigation and settlement. Always returned phone calls and emails promptly, kept me informed and provided guidance and education as the process unfolded. As this was my first experience in settling an estate and the family issues involved, I found Atty. Friedman to be honest and upfront. His years of experience are valuable in the Broward Cty System. His fees are also very reasonable.

I met Mr. Friedman at the lowest point in my life. I was a mother to two beautiful children who at the time were 3 and 1. I was in an abusive marriage and knew the only way to raise my children in the way they deserved was to divorce. I had a divorce that dragged on nearly four years (absolutely no refection on Mr. Friedman). I have never met an attorney who was as knowledgeable, honest, helpful and compassionate in my life. Mr. Friedman was thrown each and every curve ball imaginable from the other side and he handled himself with dignity and respect and always made me feel that everything would be okay. I am still in contact with him to this day. He is there to give advice and answer any questions. I pray never to have to use him again but I would recommend him without a second thought. He was such a blessing at a time when I needed it most.

Mr Friedman handled my divorce case, from the very beginning he was up front and honest. He has a world of knowledge in divorce cases. He fought hard to win my case and I really appreciated the way he handled my case.

Mr. Friedman was very helpful with my mother-in-law's estate. We lived out of state and not familiar with Florida law. Mr. Friedman assisted us in filing probate and dealing with issues that came up with her estate. He was excellent in communicating and quick to respond to the family by email and phone when we had questions and keeping us updated as to the status of probate. What could have be a long and painful process proceed very quickly and without incident.

When my mother passed away, I was named co-executor for her estate, which included a Florida property. I was at a loss for how to deal with liquidation of the Florida estate from 1500 miles away, so I asked our attorney in New York for a recommendation. He recommended Steven Freidman, for which I will always be grateful. Steven was personable, responsive and professional, made recommendations to other professionals when necessary, kept things moving when they might have dragged, leading to a fair and timely resolution. If I ever again need an attorney in South Florida, he will be my first call.

invaluable. My friend died several years ago naming me as trustee. There were five beneficiaries sharing percentages of the estate. Mr. Friedman handled all the paperwork and financial calculations required for which I had no expertise. He also spent many hours on the phone with her investment company and filled out their many page forms. In addition, he dealt with her publisher and advised me on handling her royalties. All this and more allowed me to do the things I needed to do such as preparing /selling a condo and properly disposing of all her personal assets. The CPA Steven recommended was just as invaluable in dealing with the IRS. I definitely have complete faith in these two gentleman! Since I do not live in south Florida I do not anticipate using their services again, but, if I did live there I would hire them both again without a doubt.

Mr. Friedman was my life savor in the midst of one of the most stressful and anxiety producing legal situations of my life. He was always dependable, responsive and willing to answer every little question I had throughout the brutal legal battle involving an estate and ligation issue I was faced with. Not only did he guide me and help me achieve a very favorable outcome in my situation but I always knew I could count on him and his wife to be there for me to help reduce my anxiety and reassure me throughout the entire process. I couldn't of imagined a better person and attorney than Mr. Friedman to have by my side and fighting this legal battle for me. I highly recommend him for any legal situation a person my be faced with.
