Mr. Friedlander and his staff were consistent and reliable. He was straight forward and up front about what we should expect when we consulted with and hired him after a family member died in a fall while under the care of a nursing home. Our case was settled and as a result the nursing home admitted their neglect. No amount of money could bring her back but at least the neglect didn't go unchecked; perhaps someone else will not suffer the same fate since the facility has implemented new in service training.

In December 2007, I was stunned and completely devastated with the loss of my Father. He had gone to a rehabilitation/nursing home for a scheduled 3 weeks to improve the strength in his legs after being ill. The plan was rehabilitation and then return to his home for his active life. Dad left that facility in an ambulance and was dead 31 days after arriving there for basic rehabilitation. Refusal by the staff doctor to follow my Fathers hospital discharge orders, nurses and aids not following standard care procedures resulted in daily errors and problems. All of my requests for doctor consultation were ignored. The staff discarded daily notes from me. How could this happen? Why?? After spending weeks of sleepless nights, I consulted a friend who gave me countless reasons to just accept my Fathers death and heal. I couldn’t let it go. I heard my Dad’s painful screams from the skin being eaten off his legs due to poor hygiene from the Nurses. I saw the hopelessness in his eyes when I explained there were no other facility openings to transfer him. I watched his dignity and will to live diminish. NO ONE DESERVES that type of treatment. I was then referred to Bill Friedlander Esq., Friedland & Friedlander Law Firm.. We met and after explaining how difficult it is to prove my allegations, Bill miraculously accepted the case. Bill discovered cover-ups, lies, corporate mishandlings, state regulation violations, ineptness – he just kept investigating even after their insurance company filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Every legal filing was delayed, counter filed, this case dragged on for years, with no remorse or acknowledgement. I was discouraged, but Bill and his associate Dave Hoey convinced me that the nursing home was trying to break me by dragging this out until I would just give up. After a 13 day trial and hung jury, Bill continued fighting for my Father – He and Dave Hoey were relentless. Finally the Nursing Home and their Doctor caved (3 weeks prior to the next scheduled trial). William Friedlander Esq. and David Hoey, Esq. had won Justice for my Dad and the case was settled. I will never be able to express my gratitude to these two Attorneys who fought so hard for my Dad. The passion and kindness shown to me during this 7 year ordeal will always be with me. Carla

I'm very grateful for Attorney Friedlander and all his staff that worked for a settlement for my Mother's death due to wrongful death by negligence at a nursing home. It just confirms my belief that nursing homes are only there for the money, and many of the 18 year old kids working there, with no proper training, education, are totally unqualified and are also just there for a paycheck. God only knows what happens when there are no visitors or relatives there. From what I observed, many staff members were sharp, and disrespectful. There may be a day that these same people are unfortunate to be in a Nursing Facility, and are treated the same way that they treated the elderly as an employee. I can only hope that these nursing facilities can get their acts together sooner than later, knowing that there WILL be more lawsuits coming their way under their current "best practices". So, KUDOS to Attorney Bill Friedlander, Christa, Billie, and so many other people who helped win this battle and have provided some much needed closure during my time of much grief and sorrow. Thank you all so much!

i'm a veteran that was in a motorcycle accident last summer. I was making good money building cellphone towers but due to my back injury I could not return back to work. Mr. Friedlander was able to settle my case in one year and was able to cover all my medical costs and leaving me with enough left over to afford to get my bachelors degree while living comfortably. THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you for helping through the maze of Title IX and our daughters rights as a victum. We know this will be a marathon, not a sprint and are truely thankful for all your help and avice.

I am a client of Bill Friedlander and have been completely satisfied with his work. His personality and dedication makes for a perfect combination with his outstanding legal ability. . I can't say anything that I did not like about him or his office. I am being as objective as possible when I say I could not be more pleased with the whole case. In the opinion of me and my family, ......I would strongly recommend Friedlander & Friendlander.

Mr. Friedlander and his staff worked with us diligently. He successfully settled the case of my loving father for me and we felt he was fighting for him even though he had never met him. We were kept informed as the case moved through the system. We were very satisfied with the settlement of the case.

All of what I'm about to write is a matter of court record and can be corroborated as true: - I'm a non-biological father who when I met Bill, "I thought I WAS the biological father"... As soon as you can wrap your mind around that,, know he litigated the PA. law case in 2000-1 that won (me) legal parental status for my daughter. The biological parents had tried to take my 3 (and later 4) yr old away from myself and our family (after the Mother and I had at 1st amicably split). We were not able to see Morgan for almost 4 months (12/1 - approx 4/1/2001, and yes we left the Christmas tree up for her). They intended for us to never see Morgan /again (and they put that in writing!) and were almost successful. Pretty sure this is close to the worse in terms of treating families, especially a child; but luckily and w/Gods and Bills help, we won. For more details on (the extensive legal briefs and research done by Councilor Friedlanders Firm, including his Mother/ who was a Judge), you can search PA. Law "Parent By Locatis", non-biological parents winning dual custody/legal parental status, and Judge Mott's ruling, from the Towanda PA. Ct House. Later, in 2003-5 he again won a 2nd case: - Where the biological father (who had been physical custody by the mother) had promised me that if I signed the papers to allow the legal status switch, nothing would change from our relationship of the last 2 years. Once signed, he sued myself and the mother for child support, made visitation a nightmare and this, after I had already and all along been supporting "our" daughter. Long story made short, Judge Mott ruled that a non-biological Father can not be held liable for support, any more than an Uncle, Grand-parent, stepfather or a friend could be held liable. Thus, the "Clerk's! initial ruling out of Towanda was over turned and we won. Again, for more details on (the extensive legal briefs and research done by Councilor Friedlanders Firm, including his Mother/ who was a Judge), you can search PA. Law "Parent By Locatis", non-biological parents w/dual custody/legal parental status, Legal obligation for support, and Judge Mott's ruling, from the Towanda PA. Ct House. Full disclosure: - I was referred to "Billy" in 12/2000 through my Mother, She met him when she was dating Tommy Hilfiger in the late 70's, when TH was still in Elmira & owned People's Place. - I continued to support my daughter after the 2004-5 case and still do as of this writing. She is pretty happy about that, because it now goes directly to her as an allowance for being a good kid, a straight A student and a wonderful daughter.

I was very pleased with Bill and his staff in helping me with my case. I was impressed with his representation. I was compensated for my injuries and was very satisfied with my settlement. I found Bill very understanding and easy to talk to. I would recommend him. Thank you.

Mr. Friedlander has assisted me in so many life issues - My life would not be as good as it is without him. He has successfully handled a number of issues for me - got them resolved - creating a space, therefore, in which I have had room to move as I have wished. He negotiated my alimony payments and child care payments, revisited the issue at the end high school so that his father had to continue child support - he gives me guidance like a councilor - I couldn't have made it through my adult situations without him! I'm sure you will be pleased with his services as well.
