Mr. Herbert A. Fried

Herbert Fried has been a staple of the Florida legal community since he was admitted to the bar in 1976. At Fried and Fried, P.A., he brings a unique perspective to family law, partly because of his undergraduate background in physics from the University of Miami. You don’t often see a physics major in the courtroom, but that analytical mindset has served him well for decades. Herbert earned his law degree from the University of Florida in 1975, the same year he received the prestigious Claude Pepper Award. Over his long career, he’s been a leader in almost every major legal and community organization in the area. He’s served as president of the Southwest Florida Trial Lawyers Association and the Lee County Personal Injury Association. He’s also deeply committed to his community, serving multiple terms as president of the Jewish Federation of Lee and Charlotte Counties. Today, he focuses heavily on collaborative law, helping families find peaceful ways to resolve their disputes. When you work with Herbert, you’re getting a wealth of local knowledge and a steady, experienced hand that has been guiding Southwest Florida residents for nearly fifty years.
