Overview Cases & record Support

Litigator · Admitted to the New York bar in 1999

Selected cases & rulings

Her bar admission (1999, Appellate Division, Second Department) and registered employer come from a New York attorney registration filed under the name Faith Alison Friedman. It is matched to her because the Manhattan Democratic Party's screening panel lists her as Faith Friedman Bondy and her 2025 candidate profile names the same law school, Cardozo; no source found states the name Faith Alison Friedman together with Bondy. The dates she began work as a litigator and at the Lefcourt firm were not found. No rating of her from a bar association was found as of Oct. 1, 2026. None of the sources found shows her holding judicial office, so no court decisions or judicial conduct record are listed.
