Jeremy Friedman is a versatile and results-driven attorney whose practice spans commercial litigation, real estate law, trademark law, contract negotiation, corporate law, criminal defense, plaintiffs' civil rights litigation, arbitration, mediation, and appellate work. He handles matters independently, through Friedman Law, P.C., and in collaboration with other firms — bringing the same rigor and creativity to every case.
Jeremy has built a strong record of success across a wide range of civil litigation — securing substantial monetary recoveries for plaintiffs and favorable dismissals and settlements for defendants — in cases involving breaches of contract, real estate disputes, trademark infringement, negligence, construction defects, civil rights violations, and more. His wins have come at trial, on appeal (including a unanimous appellate victory), and through skillfully negotiated settlements. On the appellate side, he has briefed and argued appeals and, notably, drafted a brief in opposition to a petition for certiorari that led the U.S. Supreme Court to deny certiorari — after the Court had taken the unusual step of requesting a response to the petition. He has also achieved extensive success in trademark matters before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and has skillfully drafted and negotiated real estate and business agreements.
Jeremy is deeply committed to protecting constitutional rights, including those of indigent criminal defendants. In one standout case, his post-trial advocacy led to the reversal of a wrongful homicide conviction, after he uncovered recanted witness testimony and law enforcement protocol violations — restoring justice for his client.
Before entering private practice, Jeremy clerked for the Honorable Eric L. Clay on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Detroit, Michigan — a formative experience that sharpened his appellate instincts.
Jeremy graduated from Columbia Law School with honors, earning recognition as both a James Kent Scholar and a Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar, and served as Managing Editor of the Columbia Science & Technology Law Review. His published Note, “Prying Eyes in the Sky: Visual Aerial Surveillance of Private Residences as a Tort,” explored an emerging area of privacy law and remains available online (citable as: Jeremy Friedman, Note, Prying Eyes in the Sky: Visual Aerial Surveillance of Private Residences as a Tort, 4 Colum. Sci. & Tech. L. Rev. 1, 25 (2002–2003)).
He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College, and gained early experience in media and telecommunications law as a Research Analyst at a boutique Washington, D.C. law firm.
Jeremy is admitted to practice in state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels, in California and Massachusetts.
