I engaged Friedman to assist me to help settle and finalize a 10-year old estate for which I was the estate trustee. I dealt with Cassandra (and her assistant) and she was excellent and she was able to resolve all the issues in a timely manner for a very reasonable cost. Before Cassandra became involved, I was "spinning my wheels" dealing with lawyers of the different beneficiaries. She was immediately able to determine a plan to get the parties to settle this complicated scenario. She was inventive, direct, knowledgeable about case law and responded promptly via email or telephone to my queries. Thank you for your assistance and I would definitely recommend this firm.

We had an outstanding experience working with Friedman Estate Litigation, and we are especially grateful for the way James handled our case. We were dealing with a difficult lawsuit involving negligent workmanship at our new home, and the stress was overwhelming. From our first meeting, James approached the situation with a combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion. He took the time to understand every detail of our case, kept us informed throughout the process, and always made us feel supported. James fought diligently on our behalf and made sure our concerns were taken seriously. His calm, thoughtful manner and deep knowledge of the legal system gave us confidence when we needed it most. We’re truly thankful for the care and commitment he showed from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone seeking honest, effective, and compassionate legal representation.

I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Casandra, whose knowledge, empathy, and tireless efforts have been nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to navigate legal intricacies with clarity and compassion has been a true gift. Casandra is not only an exceptional lawyer but a genuinely kind and thoughtful person, and her support has meant more to me than I can fully express.

We just wanted to share a bit about our experience with Friedman Estate Litigation. From the moment we engaged with Cassandra Martino our lawyer of record, and her assistant Molly Proulx, we knew they would represent us with sound legal advice. Throughout the past 4 months, we have always felt like we were their first priority. Phone calls and emails were responded to immediately, and our input was always respected. Every step of our particular file was obviously well-thought-out, and executed professionally. The results of Cassandra's and Molly's efforts could not have turned out better. We were rewarded with an exception to probate by two of Canada’s top 5 banks. This is a very difficult outcome to achieve. In closing, we would not hesitate to recommend Friedman Estate Litigation. During our initial scope of legal needs, we were so impressed we concurrently had Cassandra's fellow lawyer associate Kristina Kalergis prepare our Wills and POA's. Kristina will also assist us when the estate's property is sold. Finally, we would also like to acknowledge office administrator Julie Tennant for all the behind the scene work she organized for us. Job well done to all...thank you!!
