Rochester, NY Office


Medina, NY Office


Bob Friedman and Mike Ranzenhofer are the managing partners of Friedman & Ranzenhofer, a WNY law firm established in 1955. We believe in being close to our clients. Unlike what you may hear or read in the papers these days, the practice of law is still a personal one for us. For example, maybe you or a loved one would like to discuss their Rochester Estate but are unable to come to our offices. Or you’ve suffered an injury in Rochester and can’t drive to our office. That’s never a problem when you need us – we make house calls, which is almost unheard of these days. And should you or a loved one get stopped on suspicion of DWI in Rochester, you will have one call to make. Most folks would want their attorney to address this problem immediately – we do just that numerous times every year. We are here to help you – affordably and in a professional manner.
