Sari M. Friedman

Attorney Sari M. Friedman has received several honors during her years of practice as lawyer. In 1999, Sari was distinguished by the Long Island Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, who recognized her for her outstanding achievements in the business community. Later in 2012, the Long Island Business News awarded her the Leadership in Law Award, which honors its recipients for their hard work, excellence, and impact on the community. In addition, Sari is listed in the Who's Who of American Law and Who's Who of American Professionals, publishers that include valued members of the law community.

To obtain both her undergraduate and graduate degrees, Sari attended Hofstra University, located right outside of New York City. She graduated with her B.A. in 1977, and went on to continue her professional degree, which she finished in 1980 with honors and as a member of the Law Review. That same year, she began to clerk in the Appellate Division Second Department, where she obtained special knowledge in appellate litigation. In 1984, she left the public sector, because she wanted to begin private practice that focused particularly on matrimonial and family law.

Currently, Sari serves on the General Counsel for the Fathers' Rights Association of New York State and Fathers' Rights Association of Long Island. She regularly lectures at the Marino Institute Continuing Legal Education Seminars for attorneys, teaching them about matrimonial law. She has also written and published articles about both matrimonial and family law, her primary areas of practice. In addition, she appears on television and radio shows that want her to discuss issues regarding child custody, visitation rights, and divorce. Sari has had over twenty years of experience in protecting the rights of families, successfully winning custody for countless parents in the area.
