There is so much to say about Sari. I have very tough circumstances that I was dealing with and Sari was the third lawyer I retained. The first thing that Sari did that no other lawyer did was request a zoom meeting to determine whether my case was one she was willing to represent. That said a tremendous amount to be about her character and that she wasn't willing to just take any case just to take it. Sari was and has been there to answer any email or phone call without hesitation and does so in a timeframe that fae exceeds anything I have ever experienced from a lawyer. She truly cared about me and my case and my fight for my daughter and she succeeded for me In ways no one else had. I wish I had done Sari sooner and not wasted so much time and money elsewhere. As a father, I cannot recommend or praise Sari and Crystal enough for how much they have done for me and still do for me. There truly is no one better out there and no one you should have on your side other than her. I will never forget her words to me outside the courthouse after my custody agreement was signed and how much she believed in me as a father. When you retain Sari you retain more than just a lawyer. You are retaining integrity and character and I cannot stress enough how hard and successful she was in fighting for me. This firm is an absolute must and I am so grateful and thankful for her.

you pay for what you get”!! The service was like going from a low budget hotel like the Best Western or going to a high end hotel like The Ritz Carlton.

Sari is a true professional. She is empathetic , sensitive and took the time to truly understand my issue. Thank you Sari!

When I first spoke with Sari Friedman during our initial consultation, I could tell that she was intelligent and very experienced. The time wasn't right when I first consulted with her to bring her into my case, as there were still matters pending in another state which she couldn't help me with due to jurisdiction, but as soon as it was possible for proceedings to begin in the state of New York, I called Sari and retained her firm. She and Laraib Butt, a partner at the firm, did an excellent job in bringing closure to my fairly complex custody case that was most favorable to me, ensuring that I will have primary custody of my two young children. They were consistently responsive and professional and handled every aspect of my case with precision and care. They kept their strategy focused on collaborative resolution and their arguments limited to what was in the best interest of my children, without resorting to he said/she said mudslinging tactics like a lot of other firms do in order to keep you paying big legal bills. I highly recommend hiring Friedman & Friedman and working with Sari and her team!

Sari took time out of her busy day to get back to me with any questions and/or concerns I was facing at that moment. She is dedicated with her work, and shows compassion for others. I am grateful!

Was confused and lost until i met Sari on one of her virtual Father's Right meetings on the last Thursday of every month Sometime last year June. She answered all my questions and was extremely knowledgeable . She was frank and honest. Eventually, when i had my consultations with her, i decided to retain her firm and "oh boy , that's one of the best decisions" i have ever had to make thus far". My representation by Crystal Parnell was not only professional, she treated me as though i was the only client she had. She showed empathy, listened to what i had to say and never, at any point did i feel rushed. Crystal will always return my emails and phone calls promptly. Not to mention the fact that , she is fierce and well vested in child custody cases. I am glad Crystal and Sari were on my side because they represented me very well and i am happy with the legal service /representation that was provided me. The office staff were also very professional anytime i will call the office. Even though , i never met Jason, he was very professional in his emails and to Sari, the staff in general and CRYSTAL in particular, thank you , thank you for fighting for me and encouraging me when i wanted to give up. I will recommend Sari's law firm without hesitation to anyone

Sari Friedman I consider myself extremely lucky to have had Sari as my divorce attorney and I am eternally grateful to her for getting my case to a quick resolution. We all know divorce is never an easy option for anyone. It was only because of Sari’s professionalism and dedication that I was able to procure the best possible divorce agreement. Sari took the time to explain all the implications of legal matters in order to secure a fair division of property and assets through professional negotiation. Sari and her staff worked tirelessly and endlessly to support me through the process in order for me to come out on the right side. I highly recommend Sari for representation as a divorce attorney.

Sari heads a firm that focuses on empowering its clients without wasting time or mincing words with her clients and opposing counsel. She's a composed, astute and forward-thinking advocate -- especially for fathers whose parental rights and parenting time have been violated and compromised, and most importantly for the children whose "daddy-daughter" relationships have been compromised as well. I switched to Sari from other representation after my case had been dragged along and my parenting time severely limited for five months due to false allegations. This is the equivalent of being guilty until proven innocent or, at best, what I call "parental purgatory." Hardly a month after retaining Sari, however -- and at our first court appearance together -- my joint custody was reestablished and my parental rights restored. Sari's staff is respondent and allowed me to work hands-on with paralegals in drafting our proposed parenting agreement. It is important to note that a joint custody agreement doesn't guarantee the non-residential parent that his/her parenting time will be honored. This became a reality for me when my daughter's mom often failed to adhere to our schedule. And this is why every custody agreement must be extremely detailed when it comes to specificity of parenting time. Sari had the foresight to file a petition to move our case to Supreme Court rather than linger at the county level, and our request was granted by the Supreme Court despite opposition from opposing counsel. So after more deliberation -- including an out-of-court "four-way" meeting between Sari/me and mother/opposing counsel at Sari's efficiently run and comfortable Garden City office -- we established a new, airtight parenting-time agreement signed by both parties, once again avoiding trial. For all those dads out there seeking representation in uphill battles against a court system often unfavorable to fathers -- specifically in NY state -- I would not consider retaining another attorney until first consulting with Sari. My coparenting relationship is now better than I ever could have imagined. There is no escaping accountability with Sari on your side, and one should never put a price tag on piece of mind.

Before I met Sari I heard wonderful things about her and her firm. Upon our first meeting I knew she was the attorney I needed to battle my divorce. She fought for me throughout the whole process. Her expert knowledge of the law, immediate response time day or night, amazing ability to negotiate, and strong willed approach combined together made my settlement such a success. I could always count on Sari’s kindness and patience when guiding me or explaining information. When I first walked into Sari’s office I had expectations that she said were obtainable. The settlement of my divorce far exceeded my expectations. Sari was able to keep me and my children from testifying in court and I received more than I anticipated in my settlement. In addition to Sari being an amazing attorney, her office staff is also wonderful. I worked with other lawyers on her team and they were fantastic. Overall, I highly recommend the law firm of Friedman & Friedman.

My (soon-to-be) ex was taking me to the cleaners and my current lawyer was doing nothing to stop it. Sari stepped in and got the court to recognize the unfair situation I was in, resulting in a much better financial arrangement. She fought very hard for me and I would recommend her highly.

My experience with Sari and her office was nothing but professional! They did a great job of answering all of my questions and providing me with great advice. They were very responsive anytime I was confused or had a question. I would highly recommend using them!
