James S. Friedman has been an attorney since 1992. Jim received his bachelor's degree from New York University in 1982, his master's degree from The University of Michigan in 1985, and his law degree from Brooklyn Law School in 1991. While in law school, Jim was selected as a member of the Moot Court Honor Society, and received the Philip K. Yonge Memorial Award in Bankruptcy and Commercial Law.
Jim is committed to providing personalized, cost-effective legal solutions in all of his matters. He is very practical and results-oriented in his approach to cases. He understands that most of his clients do not reach out for an attorney because of some positive event that has occurred in their personal or business lives; rather, clients contact him because they have a problem that must be solved as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
Jim's diverse background and wide array of experience have equipped him to function effectively in a wide array of courtroom environments. He is admitted to practice before all of the state courts of New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts, the United States District Courts for the District of New Jersey and the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the United States Courts of Appeals for the First and Third Circuits, the United States Supreme Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.
