BROOKLYN, NY, October 05, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alan Fried has been recognized for achievement in law.

Mr. Fried's distinguished career in law spans more than three decades, marked by a steadfast commitment to justice and advocacy for vulnerable individuals. Since 2007, he has served as the founder and owner of Alan Fried Attorney at Law, where he represents husbands and wives throughout downstate New York, including the five boroughs of Manhattan, New York City, Nassau County and Westchester County. His practice encompasses family law matters such as paternity, adoptions, child support, child protective cases and child custody cases. Additionally, Mr. Fried advocates for children of divorcing parents in New York State. His expertise in divorce law and family law as a whole have earned him recognition as an accomplished legal professional.

Among his most significant achievements is his successful advocacy for a same-sex couple who faced discrimination while serving as foster parents. Despite resistance from a biased foster care agency, Mr. Fried's creative approach to the legal system ensured that the couple retained custody of a child with significant needs whom they had cared for since infancy. This victory not only affirmed the couple's dedication but also underscored Mr. Fried's unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

Mr. Fried's impact extends to his work in child welfare and legal protection. As a prosecutor in family court, he focused on cases of child abuse and neglect with the primary aim of safeguarding children. In one particularly harrowing case involving a family whose child died due to severe neglect, Mr. Fried and his team's thorough investigation and preparation for a potential homicide trial led the biological parents to surrender their surviving children to the state. His efforts ensured that the children found safety and stability through adoption, reflecting his dedication to protecting those most at risk.

Prior to establishing his own practice, Mr. Fried served from 1996 to 2007 as assistant supervising attorney at the New York City Administration for Children's Services. In this capacity, he prosecuted cases of child abuse and neglect and was entrusted with some of the agency's most challenging assignments. Rising through the ranks, he became, at age 37, what he believed was the agency's youngest manager, demonstrating both leadership and expertise in a demanding environment.

Throughout his career, Mr. Fried has been an active member of several industry-related organizations. He is a member of The New York City Bar. He serves on the Panel of Assigned Counsel for the New York State Appellate Division, Second Department, and is also a member of the Attorneys for Children Panel in the New York State Appellate Division, Second Department. These affiliations reflect his ongoing dedication to professional excellence and advocacy on behalf of children and families.

Mr. Fried's academic background laid a strong foundation for his career achievements. He earned a Juris Doctor from Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University in 1992, following a bachelor's degree with a major in political science and a minor in history from State University of New York at Albany. His studies deepened his understanding of political philosophies and historical events that shaped modern justice systems — influences that continue to inform his approach to law today.

His journey into law was inspired by early childhood exposure to legal dramas on television and Broadway, which sparked an enduring fascination with the intellectual discipline required of lawyers. As a serious student of history, Mr. Fried found inspiration in figures like John Adams and pivotal moments such as the Boston Massacre during the American Revolution. These influences instilled in him a profound respect for fairness and justice.

Resilience, perseverance through adversity and mental toughness have been central to Mr. Fried's success. He credits his upbringing for nurturing compassion — an attribute that continues to guide his professional conduct — and acknowledges that intelligence paired with empathy is essential in achieving just outcomes for clients.

Born in Manhattan, Mr. Fried enjoys watching baseball, caring for his dog, going to the gym and spending time with family and friends outside of his professional pursuits. Looking ahead, he aspires to become the best attorney he can be by delivering outstanding results for clients while upholding integrity in his practice. He is committed to growing his law firm and handling increasingly complex cases that will further challenge his skills and expertise.

Mr. Fried's career reflects not only technical mastery but also an unwavering dedication to justice, compassion and ethical advocacy within the legal profession.
