The Abrams, Gorelick, Friedman & Jacobson, P.C. family sadly notes the untimely passing of our founding partner, Daniel J. Friedman.  Dan was an extraordinary insurance attorney who began his law career at the Kings County District Attorney's office, where he excelled at prosecuting arson and other financial crimes.  He joined Abrams & Martin, P.C., our predecessor firm, and immediately excelled in defending Lloyd's Underwriters and domestic insurance companies in Federal and State Court litigations. 

Over the course of his 32 year legal career, Dan's skill and professionalism earned him the respect of his clients and adversaries, one of whom wrote "A Hole in the Water", a novel that detailed a litigation involving a fraudulent insurance claim.  The insurer's attorney was fashioned after Dan.  Dan exemplified what a "partner" in law firms should be- he was a wise counselor, mentor and teacher.  His work ethic and dedication to our firm, the law and his clients is revealed in the exhausting schedule he maintained despite his illness, culminating in an oral argument before the New York Court of Appeals, weeks before his passing.  Dan will be sorely missed.
