David Friedman represented our company in a challenging breach of contract and business tort dispute. His 37 years of experience, particularly in commercial litigation, were immediately evident. He navigated the complexities of federal court procedure with a calm, strategic confidence that was reassuring. His recognition in this field is well-deserved. Mr. Friedman's dedication to our case was total, and his deep knowledge of the law from NYU and decades at Harris Beach was instrumental in achieving a favorable settlement. While his billing structure is standard for his expertise, communication from his support staff could occasionally be more prompt. Overall, he is a formidable and highly skilled attorney I would recommend without hesitation.
