We worked with an attorney, Justin Friedman, during a particularly stressful eviction. This firm was efficient, easy to communicate with, highly responsive, and demonstrated a great level of professionalism and advocacy throughout the process. Very grateful for your legal assistance, Justin, and thank you for the strong work.

Mr. Ranzenhofer was the only one willing to take on my case. I know it was a very difficult task but he never let up and stuck by me the entire time. He updated me on a regular basis and I am very satisfied with the result he got for me.

Bob and Justin Friedman did a fabulous job settling my husband estate they obtained over $20,000 that was owed to the estate from the county. I would recommend them to anyone who has estate issues they did a great job.

My wages were being garnished from a collection agency. They claimed they won a judgement from 5 years ago that I didn’t respond to. I wasted my money with 1 lawyer and I was told by another lawyer that I didn’t have a case. A legal service referred me to Sam.
Sam clearly explained the legalities and was honest about my options. He asked questions that helped him to better understand my situation. His price was very fair considering all the work he has done.
He is very responsive to my inquiries and has a very fast turnaround. I would highly recommend him!

My experience with Friedman and Ranzenhofer was very professional. They handled my case with efficiency and friendliness.
Mr. Alba and Mr. Razenhofer treated me with respect and kindness. This was first experience dealing with the court, and Mr. Alba especially, made the whole ordeal much smoother than I anticipated.
I recommend this firm very highly.

If you need a guy – consider Bob & Sam… Nobody wants to have to hire a lawyer. I know I didn’t. The first time I bought a house, I found out that I needed a lawyer for the paperwork. I stumbled through a google search for random lawyers in the area and just grabbed the first one that showed up close to me. That was Friedman Ranzenhofer (of Williamsville / Akron / Buffalo ). That was 5 years ago. In those five years, my “happy” need for a lawyer (buying a house) was then replaced by other needs… we had an issue with estate papers for a deceased family member. Then I was sued for witholding payment from a fly-by-night contractor who did shoddy work that failed inspection and caused damage. Lastly, we had a property / real-estate issue that’s up in the air. I never found another lawyer in those 5 years. The same straightforward, honest, guys who did the paperwork on my home have now represented me, my mom, and my wife. Bob Friedman is an extremely professional, but none-the-less down to earth lawyer (and human being). He’s smart, he runs his firm with integrity, and he genuinely cares about outcomes — he’ll ask you, “what would be an ideal resolution for you?” – because he knows that it’s not about the details (for us, the clients) as much as it is about how these situations affect our lives. Sam Alba has been in charge of the two ugliest things in my life, and he’s handled himself with composure and intelligence. He’s pushed hard when he’s needed to, and it’s easy to tell that he’s done his homework on every matter. To date, the outcomes have been favorable and live-able. I’m very — very — pleased to be represented by these folks. When the topic of lawyers comes up in conversation, I’m actually quite happy to be able to say “I’ve got a guy”.
Heather Hoefer via 
Sam Alba is the best lawyer I have ever worked with. He is competent, experienced, respectful and understanding. He listens to what you want and does what he can to accomplish that. He is HONEST. He will tell you, good or bad, what he is able to accomplish. He customizes your circumstances and works out the best possible outcome within the parameters of the law. He’s not profit-focused and doesn’t make promises he can’t keep. Even when we disagreed, he was assertive and respectful. He has stellar negotiating skills, based on what he was able to do for me and still be fair to the other party. He is the only lawyer I will work with from this point forth.

I was referred to Justin Friedman by another attorney because they said he was the BEST at helping landlords resolve rental property issues. I cannot be happier with our decision to retain and utilize Justin’s amazing talents and understanding of law.
He made the process easy to understand, effortless to follow and was communicating every step of the way.
If you need help navigating the perils of owning a rental property, DO NOT HESITATE to call on Justin and make him part of your team. His value is immeasurable.
Amanda Bialkowski via 
Justin did a great job guiding me through the legal process of tenant eviction during COVID. There is no way I would have been able to do this without him. I would recommend to any of my family and friends!

As a Landlord it is hard to keep track of all the laws and what your rights are. Mr. Friedman helped me with many different situations, offering advice and relief in some of the most stressful situations. He was also the most knowledgable attorney I spoke to in the field.

We couldn’t be happier with him.
He and his team returned emails almost immediately and phone calls always in the same day.
I highly recommend Attorney Ranzenhofer!
Dave C. via 
I had an unsavory situation involving a rental property pop up and needed legal help. After contacting the 1st lawyer in google, they recommended Justin Friedman from this firm. Justin was fast acting, thorough, and able to break down the legalese into layman’s terms. His communication was amazing and he was able to tell me EXACTLY how everything would play out, and he was right.
His value goes far beyond what you pay to aquire his services as my family has piece of mind and a very secure future all thank to him!

Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

I am so happy and appreciative of the results and know that this was only possible because of your willingness to take on such a case so quickly. I had spoken to 10 lawyers offices only to be delayed with appointments in the future. Your kindness and willingness to help someone in need will possibly end in a saving of a life and maybe even a happier life for my brother. Of course, the final outcome will be determined at a later point, but for now my brothers and I have some options which we did not have before

We were treated in a respectful, professional and helpful manner while preparing our wills, healthcare proxies and power of attorney. Mr. Friedman took as much time as we needed to answer all of our questions and concerns. His staff was friendly and efficient. We highly recommend him.

I was in a bad pinch. Michael took the time last minute for me. I was in court once and done! He reduced my offense which is not typically done from what I understand. His knowledge, experience and professionalism was worth the money! I would recommend him and seek his help again if needed.

I was hit head on in a car accident and had got injured. I contacted Mike Ranzenhofer and he got started the process of getting money for me for my pain and suffering and future medical bills. Every time I called or came to his office he always took his time to help me. And we eventually won the case. He is an amazing lawyer and person himself and I would fully recommend him to anyone.
Gail via 
I have never dealt with an attorney or law firm as efficient and conscientious as Mr. Friedman and his employees. I came to him with my father’s estate, sale of a home and other legal matters. I spoke DIRECTLY with him many times. I did NOT have to “leave messages” constantly or get shuffled around to other people while waiting for a return phone call. HE addressed legal matters directly with me. I NEVER had to wait endlessly for a return email from him either. He answered them on the same day or within 24 hours.
I believe his knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the legal field, but also in handling his clients. He is extremely considerate of YOU and YOUR situation, questions and concerns. Also, his fees are very reasonable compared to other attorneys.
The individuals on his staff are top-notch and very competent as well. They were all very courteous, understanding and knowledgeable. They went out of their way for me as well.
I could not be more satisfied with the treatment and attention to my affairs and legal issues. If you are looking for the PERFECT attorney, Mr.Friedman is the one to choose. You won’t be disappointed by him or his staff. They are all amazing individuals to work with. It was truly my pleasure to have met him and to have him handle my legal affairs. He is truly one-in-a-million and I most highly recommend him!

Robert Friedman has been my legal counsel for nearly 25 years representing my property management company. You will find the Western New York market literally inundated with lots of attorneys to choose from. You may ask, what makes Robert Friedman the right choice for me?
Simply put, he sets the bar in conduct, dedication to his clients and work. His legal expertise in a word, is expert.
Finally, he is an attorney you can trust, who is honest and will work for YOU!

I used Mike as my attorney after I broke my hip. He was wonderful! Throughout my experience he explained all of the legal steps to me thoroughly and answered all questions that I had. He would also check in with me from time to time and was always very friendly and approachable. Mike was able to negotiate a settlement that I was quite happy with. Would absolutely recommend this lawyer to anyone. Thanks Mike!
