If you are looking for someone to represent you, look no further, because Friedberg and Bunge are the best option out there. I feel fortunate that Mr. Friedberg has represented me, not once but twice. Both times he exceeded my expectations. He is considerate, professional, kind, knowledeable, and genuinely wants to help. His efforts always led to the best possible result. There are not enough words to thank him for what he has done for me and my family.
We were referred to Tom for representation in a very complex medical malpractice case. All promises were kept. Tom is a man of his word. We used Tom’s services again to represent us in a car accident case. We were very happy with the settlement.

Hired Law Firm
I have been working with Tom and this firm for approximately two years in regard to my medical case. He has been very compassionate and responsive in regard to my injury. He is extremely knowledgeable of medical contracts, the CA state laws and hospital contracts. I feel very confident in his ability to handle my case. I am hopeful for a positive outcome in the next few months, which will all be because of his hard work and tenacity. THANKS!.
I started working with Mr. Friedberg several years ago. He was recommended to me by an experienced injury attorney here in Houston. My case was the result of a serious on the job fall due to a defective ladder. NOT an easy case. Mr. Friedberg got experts and proved the accident was from a defective part made in China. Long story short- his many hours of hard work paid off and my wife and I won our case! His ability to think and work through problems/issues was the best I ever seen and unfortunately I've had to interact with other attorneys. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THOMAS FIEDBERG and his partner and wife Sarah !!
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
