I cannot thank this law office enough for the outstanding service and support they provided throughout my case. From the beginning to the end, they were professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. They made me feel supported, listened to my concerns, and handled everything with care and professionalism.<br>From: Ana Elizabeth Samayoa

I had a very positive experience working with Jason Costanzo at Friedman Law Firm. From the beginning, Jason was professional, knowledgeable, and straightforward about my options. What I appreciated most was that he never pressured me into unnecessary legal action or made me feel like I had to spend more than was needed.<br><br>Even though much of my custody matter was ultimately resolved outside of court, Jason’s guidance helped me make informed decisions, understand the legal process, and handle situations the right way as they came up. He was responsive, honest, and always made sure I understood the possible outcomes before moving forward.<br><br>I felt confident having him in my corner throughout the process, and I was very satisfied with the final outcome of my case. I would definitely recommend Jason to anyone looking for a family law attorney who is knowledgeable, practical, and genuinely focused on helping his clients make the best decisions for their situation.

KURT BRICKMAN -<br>I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did to help me through my custody, visitation, and child support case. He was reliable, responsive, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure I felt heard and supported throughout the entire process. He worked closely with me, kept me informed, and made sure I was comfortable and satisfied with the outcomes. Going through a family law case can be overwhelming, but having someone I could trust made such a difference. I truly appreciate his dedication and support, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy attorney!

I highly recommend Kurt Brickman. He represented me during an extremely high-stress, time-sensitive court proceeding involving my children, and from the beginning, he made me feel confident that my case was in capable hands.<br><br>Mr. Brickman was confident, extremely knowledgeable about the law, and well-prepared. He was able to look at the facts clearly, explain the legal process, and advocate for my best interests during a very emotional situation. He is smart, witty, professional, and truly keeps his client’s best interests at the forefront while focusing on the facts.<br><br>Having an attorney who can remain calm, knowledgeable, and confident when so much is at stake makes a tremendous difference. I am very grateful for his representation and would absolutely retain Mr. Brickman again if I ever needed legal counsel in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who knows the law and genuinely advocates for his clients.

Been waiting forever to share this… can’t really blame the firm but I had Jackie Gerlach… I see she works for Barnes and diehl now so ima go over there a warn people too. She was so busy she left me mid case to attend another came back and once my case ended horribly she just left and I didn’t hear from her for days. She was busy in her phone about being late for her next hearing . The communication was poor and I was charged 8k for literally nothing just her showing up. I don’t even have a single paper she filed. Except for the one to withdraw from counsel. She filed and I didn’t even know, she kept trying to convince me she didn’t know why we had a court date for a date I wasn’t aware of and then magically it was the date for her hearing to withdrawal. I gave her thousands for nothing. She even said she would call me later but had Josh come in her place to withdrawal and never messaged me a single time again. She basically let me choose what to do and told me yeah do that. She’s very nice but just not a good at communication and was too busy for me. Also I wish they were more honest about my circumstances. I was left with nothing alone and couldn’t even get in touch with her. I’m still picking up the pieces of my life from this bad counsel. Funny thing is.. I was gonna go to Barnes and Diehl and I chose her and now she’s there. They are expensive as hell and unless you have Rick himself or Jason. Good luck to you. Can’t bash the whole firm but that’s how I feel about Jackie Gerlach.

After a very lengthy and complicated divorce, I am finally on the other side! Josh Schrecongost was with me through all of it and provided excellent help, communicating each step of the way. Highly recommend working with this firm if you find yourself needing family law assistance.

I had an urgent matter when I called the Friedman Law Firm and the receptionist listened to my concern. I required attorney representation within a few days and she understood the urgency to speak with an attorney. She called me back the same day connecting me to attorney Kurk Brickman. Kurk quickly met with me, reviewed the case and provided immediate guidance. During the entire process he provided excellent, personable customer service! He was upfront with legal process and I knew what to expect from the beginning. Kurt was highly responsive to emails and phone calls, he was knowledgable on all aspects of my case, and I felt like we were one step ahead every step of the way. Kurt's experience and knowledge made me feel confident and relaxed during the entire process. Not to mention he was attentive to the financial impact the case placed on me.<br>I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me during a very difficult time!<br>Kurk is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and the Friedman Law Firm to anyone!

My wife and I recently came in to start a will and trust with the Attorney Jason. He was so awesome, and answered all of the many questions we had. We left feeling so much better about our future. Huge thanks to Rick Friedman, and all of his staff. Lets go!!!
