Biography

Sari Friedman, the founder of Friedman & Friedman PLLC, Attorneys at Law, has over 40 years of experience in matrimonial and family law. As a mother of two, she recognizes the importance of family and protecting the rights of children and parents alike.

Sari and her team are dedicated to helping Long Island families with family law matters ranging from divorce and child custody to child support, alimony, and fathers’ rights. Recognizing that no two cases are alike, Sari provides one-on-one attention to each client and creates a personalized legal plan for each case.

Education & Background

Sari Friedman was admitted to the New York State Bar in February of 1981. She obtained her BA in 1977 from Hofstra University and then attended Hofstra University of Law, where she graduated with honors as a member of Law Review. From 1980 to 1984, she clerked in the Appellate Division Second Department, developing special skills and expertise in appellate litigation. In 1984, Sari M. Friedman entered into private practice, concentrating on matrimonial and family law.

Honors & Awards

Attorney Sari M. Friedman is highly recognized in the Long Island and New York legal communities for her experience and skill in the field of family law. In 2015, 2016, 2019, and 2020, Attorney Friedman was named to New York's Legal Leaders Top Rated Lawyers, a distinction only given to attorneys who have been honored with the prestigious AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell®.

Sari Friedman was recently named one of the "10 Best" Family Law Attorneys for Client Satisfaction in New York by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. This award reflects her commitment to clients—which is where the American Institute focuses most of their research for the award—unlike most other of her awards which are based on peer recognition.

Friedman’s devotion to the Long Island community through her legal efforts has also been recognized by the Star Network Power Women in Business Award. She was also honored with the 2016 New York Family Business Award by Smart CEO magazine, which recognizes Friedman & Friedman's legacy and commitment in the field of matrimonial and family law.
