David Fryman

Jules Steindler, former client

David’s clever and thoughtful approach helped me when I was setting up an art gallery in NYC and helped me to make sure I wouldn’t have legal issues. He did this by explaining all the potential problems and setting up systems to avoid them in advance. His excellent advice and fair pricing was really great!
