I have a case in Michigan. Mr. Frektman gave me a free consultation, and listened to the issues that I had with my attorney at the time. He sent me the verdict search, which showed that my lawyer is a chronic settler lol. No trials since.2011 for the firm, my attorney specifically had zero trials. So.he sent me a list of attorneys in MI that he knows, or has worked with in the past. I reached out to 2 of the attorneys and 1 did not respond, the other declined to take my case. Mr. Frektman and Nickesha, his assistant(I assume), actually reached out to me after the one attorney declined my case. They both said they would be willing to help with a referral to some different attorneys. I received a call from one of the best trial attorneys in MI and they are taking my case. I have fired my previous attorney and signed the agreement with the new attorney. Arkady Frektman and Nickesha had no interest in my situation, but took their time and energy and did everything possible to get me a different attorney. The people's attorney! I genuinely believe they do this job, to help people. Not just make money. But when you're as good as this, the money just naturally comes when you help so many! Thank you Arkady Frektman and Nickesha! So grateful and appreciate all that you do!Posted on Google![]()

I was researching new lawyers for my slip and fall case when I found Arkady Frekhtman. He is located in NYC, but I'm not, but they still offered to help me find a better lawfirm to help in my slip and fall case. My old lawfirm which I won't name here, were pretty much horrible. Hopefully my new lawyers that Arkady Frekhtman referred me to will be able help me the best way possible since they are highly rated and are amazing! I'm so happy to have new lawyers to help me for my accident. I hope Arkady Frekhtman and his team have a wonderful 2026, God blessed everyone over there! Especially Nickesha from Frekthman and Associates! She and Arkady were awesome!Posted on Google![]()

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord is composed of nerve tissues that send messages between the brain and the body. When messages travel from the brain to the spinal cord nerves, a person is able to move their appendages. Likewise, when the skin or tissues send messages to the brain, a person feels sensations.
The spinal cord is imperative to daily living. This delicate bundle of nerves is located in the spinal column where it is protected by spinal bones. However, even though the spinal cord is protected, it can still sustain injuries from accidents. These injuries can cause severe and permanent impairment and even death. Generally, the further up the spine the injury is, the more areas of the body it will impact. Common causes of spinal cord injuries include:
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Slips and falls
- Violence
- Bicycle accidents
- Trampoline accidents
- Swimming pool accidents
- Sports and recreational activities
- Medical and surgical mishaps
Motor vehicle accidents are by far the most common cause of spinal cord injuries, often causing paraplegia or quadriplegia. Since even minor injuries to the spinal cord can cause decreased function and enjoyment of life, an injured individual may want to contact a skilled attorney in Brooklyn to discuss their eligibility for compensation.
What is a Certificate of Merit?
When a plaintiff’s spinal cord injury lawyer in Brooklyn files a spinal cord lawsuit arising from medical malpractice, they must also submit a certificate of merit, according to New York Civil Practice & Law Rules § 3012-a.
This certificate is an official document that states the attorney obtained the opinion of a physician who, in their professional opinion, believes the lawsuit has merit. If the attorney cannot do so, they must state that they made three good faith attempts to reach other physicians to do so. This law is in place to help reduce the number of invalid lawsuits the court must hear. This law applies to medical and dental malpractice cases because the underlying matter must be proven via expert testimony from a medical doctor.
