In a recent case, Mr. Fried's client was facing criminal charges consisting of 4 counts of homicide. The jury returned 4 verdicts of not guilty in just 12 MINUTES. In a system where juries have been known to deliberate for weeks, Mr. Fried's jury verdict may be a national speed record.
Mr. Fried is one of the few lawyers in the entire country, ever to have won a jury verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity in a first degree murder case. That result occurs in less than one-half of one percent of all first degree murder cases involving the insanity defense.
Mr. Fried has handled jury trials in cases of drunk driving, criminal sexual conduct, assault and battery, drug possession, drug dealing, manslaughter, negligent homicide and other types of criminal charges.
Mr. Fried's expertise does not, however, end at the courtroom door. Recognizing that many clients prefer to avoid the uncertainties of the jury trial system, Mr. Fried has made a concentrated effort to hone and perfect his negotiating skills.
In yet another of Mr. Fried's cases, the client was charged with kidnapping, an offense carrying a penalty of up to life in prison. Mr. Fried was able to hammer out a plea bargain in that matter. The agreement lowered the charge to assault, a simple misdemeanor carrying a maximum possible penalty of only 90 days in jail.
On the personal injury side of his practice, some of Mr. Fried's more recent achievements include settlement of a Saginaw area-based claim on the day of trial for 5.3 MILLION dollars; settlement of a Grand Rapids-area injury claim for nearly half a MILLION dollars, and, shortly thereafter; settlement of a Lansing-area claim for nearly a quarter of a MILLION dollars.
According to Mr. Fried, great results like those have little to do with luck, and everything to do with a simple yet powerful formula: Hard work, long experience and professional excellence.
Mr. Fried speaks Spanish at the intermediate level.

We do our best to offer reasonable fees in criminal cases at both the trial and appellate levels. We have fought for court orders requiring the state to pay for private investigators and expert witnesses for the defense, to aid our client in building a criminal defense that will win at trial, preliminary examination, or motion hearing. In accident lawsuits, we represent victims who have suffered serious injuries in car accidents, truck accidents, workplace or construction accidents due to negligence. Personal injury victims pay no lawyer's fees unless we obtain a settlement or win at trial. Fees come from those proceeds -- ONLY.
