About
The Friedman Firm, founded in 1991 and based in Chicago, IL, is an employment law practice that focuses on protecting employees’ rights. The firm represents clients across Cook County at every level—from hourly workers to senior executives—in matters involving discrimination (age, gender, sexual identity, race, nationality, disability, and other protected classes), sexual harassment, wage and hour issues, unpaid wages and overtime, unemployment benefits, wrongful termination, disability claims, severance and non-compete reviews, whistleblower retaliation, paid family leave, workers’ compensation issues, and unsafe workplace conditions. Led by principal attorney Josh Friedman, the practice brings more than 30 years of experience, including two decades representing large employers, providing insight into defense strategies. Friedman has taught employment law and authored articles in legal journals. The firm handles dispute resolution through mediation, arbitration, and settlement conferences, and litigates in court when necessary. It offers free consultations and emphasizes efficient, cost-conscious case evaluation and representation for workers seeking to enforce their rights under state and federal law.
