My broken toe case took forever to settle due to a questionable move without my consent. Rick upon finding out I had a near death experience from a MRSA infection, added that to the suit with no viable proof. Turns out I was in Kessler when the letter for a deposition arrived. My late Father let the office know I wasn't available. Along with my calls and emails being left largely without a response since June 2009 leaving me in the dark, when my Father was calling on my behalf in early 2012, he was on ignore as well.. When my HALO Brace was removed in May 2012 and I could get on the phone, when I finally got to speak to Rick, I made it clear I wanted no part of MRSA in the suit, because it wasn't true, I was told it was filed that way and couldn't be changed. My liability case was settled unbeknownst to me, a certified letter showed up with a check. I took a beating. With the outlandish fees for Bagolie Friedman and unnecessary Dr visits, etc. the scales weren't in my favor. A couple phone conferences later and many unreturned calls and emails, in 2017 if memory serves, I was told by Rick he was judge shopping and by end of Summer the workman's comp would be settled. Same run around continued until almost two years later, I had a phone conference scheduled. After calling on time, I was told Rick wasn't available, this happened before for a phone conference, so I asked to reschedule. I was told Mr. Friedman was available and would handle it. He couldn't answer most of my questions and repeatedly said "I'll have to ask Rick." He informed me there was an offer from my employer and as my attorney, he would advise me not to take it. I made clear I would settle, it was too long. He repeated he advised not to take it. I repeatedly said I told Rick in May 2012 I didn't want MRSA included, drop it and settle the rest. I told him no doctor involved thought an infection two years plus after the fact was connected. He pushed it aside saying doctors don't like to litigate, I told him I asked because it was my third MRSA infection, not for legal advice, he ignored me and we ended the call. I paid for a phone confrence for zero information concerning my questions and had my wishes tossed aside. Almost two years later I was asked to sign affidavits and a settlement was close, after the insurance company received these documents, they had 90 days to send the check. After hearing nothing from Tom, ignored calls and emails, I was told he's at trial and I had to sign affidavits again. I was put in touch with Spencer, who's a pleasure to deal with, he kept me informed along the rest of the way. Finally, better part of 13 years later, the suit was settled after Rick agreed to drop MRSA from the suit. I didn't get enough money on top of the offer Mr. Friedman was convinced I shouldn't take. I only asked Rick during our first meeting to help me get my back wages, which I didn't get. (I went by a long time gentleman's agreement on a job when my second surgery was due to be scheduled due to the doctor I ended with did a poor job, I had three. Work slowed down and the Foreman and I basically said it at the same time that he had to lay someone off, and I was open to it. Dr. Lin at UMDNJ had a student see me on the day I informed her I wanted to have the surgery, she never told anyone. I told my nurse case manager I agreed to a layoff and needed to start workman's comp payments again, the insurance company refused claiming I took myself out of the workforce.) medical bills paid for, and whatever he showed me in the book for a broken bone with some lifetime effects. Hopefully everyone else's experience is better.

Working with Mr. Bagolie as my lawyer was a truly exceptional experience. Throughout the entire process, his expertise and profound understanding of the legal matters were evident. His clear and effective communication kept me well-informed and engaged at every step. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation.

It's an honor to express my gratitude to Mr Alan Friedman and the Bagolie Friedman firm for their high quality of services, commitment, and reliability. I truly say that over the last past 2 years since I've known them and up to this moment that the Bagolie Friedman has built a positive rapport with me in a short period of time and giving me a specific and honest feedback - Mr Friedman knows how to lead a client and meet his/her needs. He demonstrated professionalism far exceeded all of my expectations. He is a class act and indeed, without hesitation I highly recommend Bagolie Friedman Firm. Happy and Blessed New Year to Every Member of the Bagolie Friedman!

I have been their client since early 2021. I can't get an appointment, a call back, email or a text message from his office. I appeared in his office several times this year & he was unavailable to meet me. Plus I left voice messages, emails & I receive no response. I am severely disappointed in their lack of or no communication from Bagolie. I have many updates regarding my health to share with him & detailed that in my messages & still no one from his office contacted me. Mr. Bagolie's no action, no attempt to contact me to discuss my case is completely unprofessional. His office has expressed to me that my case is of minor importance to them. I need to move on with my case. Mr. Bagolie I hope you read this & understand that I am unimpressed with your office & with your lack of correspondence.
