Lawyer Overview

A senior member of the Ian N. Friedman & Associates, L.L.C. team, Mr. Frey is a skilled litigator across varying areas of criminal defense. He has served as lead counsel in high profile and complex cases at courts at all levels across the country, and has a well-deserved reputation for bringing ingenuity, aggressiveness, and a comprehensive technique to client matters.
