What Our Clients Say

"Excellent services provided by all Friedlander staff to date. We have tremendous advocacy support from Friedlander which has helped us save significant dollars with NYSIF. You are responsive, available, and knowledgeable – it’s hard to improve that."

Karen Clark

"The Friedlander Group really gave us another set of eyes and brought us to another level. The safety group is not only good for the bottom line, but they make it safer for my people to work. They took the time to come out and meet with our managers. We're particularly happy with the fact that the group is comprised of fellow operators who demand the highest level of safety. I've been very happy with the whole claims process as well. It has gone very smoothly."
