Jeremy Friedman’s practice includes commercial litigation, real estate law, trademark law, contract negotiations and corporate law, criminal defense, plaintiffs' civil rights litigation, arbitration, mediation, and appellate work. He handles matters independently, through the firm Friedman Law, P.C., and also in collaboration with other small firms.
He has extensive experience in litigation, where his work has produced successful outcomes in numerous civil cases for plaintiffs (obtaining substantial monetary recoveries) and defendants (obtaining dismissals of cases and favorable settlements). These cases have involved alleged breaches of contract, real estate disputes, trademark infringement, negligence, construction defects, civil rights violations, and other claims. Successful outcomes have been achieved at trial, as well as unanimous appellate victories, and also via settlement. In addition to having successfully briefed and argued appeals, he has drafted a brief in opposition to a petition for certiorari, which resulted in the United States Supreme Court's denial of certiorari, after the Court had previously requested a response to the petition. Additionally, he has had extensive success in trademark proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. He has also successfully drafted and negotiated real estate and business agreements. He has worked to vindicate the Constitutional rights of indigent criminal defendants. In one case, his post-trial representation of an indigent defendant ultimately led to the reversal of a wrongful homicide conviction, after prosecution witnesses recanted their trial testimony and law enforcement protocols were violated.
