Sixty Years of Practice
For more than six decades, our firm has navigated unprecedented shifts in the legal landscape—some expected, others unimaginable. 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. Friedlander, carried that legacy forward with visionary leadership. For over 50 years, his sharp legal mind, integrity, and dedication to his clients shaped the firm, mentoring generations of attorneys and setting the standard for excellence in the practice of law.
Today, we honor that legacy by continuing to provide exceptional legal counsel, combining time-honored values with forward-thinking strategies to meet our clients’ evolving needs.
