About Friedman Murray

Friedman Murray is a Minneapolis law firm serving people across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. We help people facing financial difficulties regain stability and we sue bad actors within the financial ecosystem when they break the law.

We don’t represent banks, debt collectors, credit reporting agencies, or other large corporations. We only represent real people who need help fixing financial problems and standing up to unfair treatment. Every client gets personal attention from an experienced lawyer who focuses on practical outcomes, not unnecessary litigation.
