O. Allan Fridman has been practicing law since 2001. His
practice is unique in that he does not view himself as a
litigation attorney or transactional attorney. Rather,
he views each area of law as a tool to pursue the best
results for his clients. By practicing in both areas of
law, he is able to take a 360-degree view of law. This
enables the firm to catch potential drawbacks that are
readily identifiable.
By practicing in litigation and transactional law and
taking a holistic approach in dealing with our clients,
he doesn’t put clients in box — rather, as we are all
individuals, so too are the legal services we may
require.
Whether it is
bankruptcy or
litigation or
transactional, each client brings challenges and does
not fit in any one box. Often times, bankruptcy clients
end up not filing bankruptcy because we can achieve a
better result through litigation or through an
out-of-court resolution with the lender, or through a
real estate sale. On the other end of the spectrum, a
litigation client with multiple issues and lawsuit may
fare better in a bankruptcy.
Since 2001, Allan has practiced in states and federal
court, and he is a member of the trial bar of the
Northern District of Illinois and admitted in the
Northern District of Indiana.
