Yet, through it all, we have remained steadfast in our core values of honesty and integrity. Our commitment to clients is unwavering. Our deep legal experience and client-centered approach set us apart in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.

Our story began in 1964 with our founding member, Jack Friedlander, who established the foundation of excellence we uphold today. His son, former managing partner, and esteemed colleague, Stephen H.
