The Fried Firm went above and beyond in guiding me through my film's preproduction process. They were patient with me when my film took longer to piece together than anticipated and answered extra questions without charge. When I had a time-sensitive question after the office had closed for the day, one of the staff reopened the office to get me an answer. As an independent filmmaker without a lot of funding or resources, I credit them with making it possible to bring my movie to fruition. read more

The response from the attorney's office is not truthful. No reimbursement was received. NONE. I paid by check and never received any reimbursement of what I paid. I deserve the full amount returned not partial (although) that was not provided either. Again acting nice and actually taking action and putting in the effort to be ethical AND nice is what was expected from the this firm! As such to state I was reimbursed is untrue. If you have proof of return payment send it to me but I have not seen a dime!!!! read more

Shana Fried is really as good as it gets. If you're looking for an attorney that understands the nuances of contract and entertainment law, trademarking and start up businesses, there's no better choice than the Fried Firm. I am an attorney that routinely consults the Fried Firm for advice outside of my expertise and Shana Fried is my main go-to contact for all entertainment law matters. She's always responsive, knowledgeable, personable and is able to deliver excellent legal services in a way that best protects her clients. I give Shana Fried and the Fried Firm my highest recommendation and will continue to refer my clients, friends and family to her. read more

Receptionist picked up the phone with less than welcoming energy....almost as if she didn't want to...or wasn't her responsibility to do so. I was super excited about supporting an all female Law Firm. Was asked if I wanted to be put on their call back schedule to speak with an Attorney which was scheduled for about an hour out. Perfect! Time came around, no call. Not cool!! No worries, I moved on. read more

Five stars mean that this is as good as it gets. We are incredibly happy working with our friends at The Fried Firm. We never expected to find a law firm that would understand the challenges of the creative industry so well. Shana is not somebody who deals with creative work theoretically. She is one of the people we admire for her support of the creative community. And so we know that she understands much better than we would ever hope for. We are grateful for The Fried Firm. And we highly recommend them to all of our creative friends. Thank you. read more

I actually found Shana through Yelp. I was looking for a lawyer to review an entertainment contract and every review read like it was written to impress me.

Can't wait to work with her again. read more

Shana has been extremely helpful with many projects of mine. I work in film in NYC and found Shana about one year ago, she has helped me both reviewing operating agreement, subscription agreement and consultant agreement of Film Investment deals and helped me draft a producer's contract. When we work on these deals, Shana always operates with the highest level of integrity, skill, and compassion. She is quick to return my emails and phone calls, and she is just a genuinely friendly person to work with and have my very best interests in mind. If you're looking for an entertainment attorney, I wholeheartedly couldn't give a higher recommendation. read more

I found Shana through a google search while looking for help with a daunting contract.

I would not only recommend her services but I will continue to work with her as I move through my career. read more
