Lee Friedman

Lee Friedman practices in real estate and debt matters in Hauppauge, New York, where he is managing partner of Friedman Law Associates, P.C. His real estate work includes traditional transactions as well as transactions involving distressed property. The firm describes his earlier background as that of a foreclosure attorney.

Property transactions are only part of the work available at his firm. Friedman Law Associates also assists people who have fallen behind on mortgage payments or face foreclosure. Its listed services include short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure, and it describes familiarity with loan modification programs and loss mitigation procedures. Delinquent property taxes and bank-owned properties also fall within its distressed-real-estate practice. That work has brought the firm engagements from homeowners, buyers, realtors and other law firms.

For conventional purchases and sales, the firm works with title companies, lenders and real estate companies. It also offers bankruptcy assistance for people dealing with credit card balances, medical bills, judgment liens or the prospect of losing a home to foreclosure.

A separate group of services comes through partnerships with other attorneys. Through those relationships, the firm offers wills, estate planning, probate and administration, medical malpractice and criminal defense services in New York and elsewhere in the United States. The network serves clients and other law firms; these are firm offerings, not a list of individual practice areas for Friedman.
