Michael Friedman Reply to review by Kayla Agee: On 3/21/25 Michael Friedman was hired to represent Kaylas boyfriend, who is incarcerated for 20 years in the Texas prison system in a case out of Hunt County. The purpose of the employment was to get an unrelated drug case in Bowie County concluded so that any sentence from Bowie County would run concurrent with the Hunt County sentence. Upon request by Michael Friedman after plea negotiations, a Zoom hearing was scheduled by the Bowie County District Court at which the boyfriend pled guilty and was sentenced to 5 years to run concurrent with the Hunt County sentence. A court order to that effect was entered on June 13, whereby the Bowie County case was wrapped up and Michael Friedmans representation for that purpose was concluded. Several weeks later Michael Friedman was contacted by Kayla inquiring why the Texas prison system had not yet acknowledged the Bowie County sentencing order. Michael Friedman told her that he did not know the answer to that, but he would contact the Bowie County Clerk to find out. Kayla said she had already done that and began a tirade about the representation. Michael Friedman unilaterally terminated her call. Kayla immediately called again and continued her tirade with profanity. Michael Friedman told her that he had done what he was hired to do, that she was not his client, and that he did not intend to listen or talk to her any further. Michael Friedman then unilaterally terminated the call. Michael Friedman then contacted the Bowie County District Clerk and was advised that the Bowie County court order had been filed on June 16, that the Texas prison system had been duly notified in accordance with the clerks standard procedures, and that no additional legal procedure was necessary.

Jill Black Judson was so easy to work with. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything in detail throughout your process. I highly recommend! Even if you are just considering seeking legal counsel, talk to him. He gives a very clear understanding of everything. I never once felt like I was just another case to him. He was involved from start to finish and he is very easy to talk to. I am beyond grateful for his help.
