General Info:
Barry H. Friedman, Attorney & Counselor at Law, is based in Poughkeepsie, New York, specializing in adoption, family, and real estate law and serving the surrounding areas. With more than 40 years of experience, we can provide the professional, affordable services you need. Adoption Law Adoption Law is a rewarding experience. I have helped hundreds of families grow through the process, whether Agency or private, a process that needs an experienced practitioner to expedite it. From our initial interview through all court proceedings, which may involve the consent of the natural parents or litigation to terminate their rights, I have the experience to bring the proceeding to fruition. Matrimonial Law Only the Supreme Court handles matrimonial matters. The law is always in a state of flux and a knowledgeable experienced practitioner is an advantage. My practice includes all aspects of matrimonial law, whether the negotiation of a Separation Agreement; a simple dissolution of a marriage without assets or a complicated matter involving difficult equitable distribution issues and the discovery of income and assets; maintenance awards, custody, visitation and child support matters and the like. These matters need an attorney who has the experience and diligence to litigate or negotiate an equitable resolution. Family Law The Family Court handles all matters affecting the family, except issues of equitable distribution or proceedings to terminate a marriage. I represent clients in cases involving domestic violence, custody, visitation, guardianship, support, maintenance, neglect and abuse matters, and the like. I have practiced family law for almost forty years and draw on my experience to provide you with diligent, competent representation. Landlord and Tenant Matters I provide legal services to landlords regarding eviction issues. I represent clients ranging from owners of apartment complexes to those renting their homes and rooms. My firm will prepare all of your predicate notices and pleadings, and make all court appearances and submit all paperwork needed to complete the process. Call today for a free consultation! Real Estate Transactions Whether you're buying or selling a home, I can provide the services needed to affect the sale or purchase. This may include negotiating the terms of your contract, dealing with issues of title which may crop up, attendance at your closing and providing you with any associated paperwork.
