"We had the pleasure of using Robert Nemoroff for a personal injury case. His professionalism and knowledge and time he spent with us during the entire process of our case was extraordinary. Robert Nemeroff also has a great friendly demeanor and helped us with making decisions and we would definitely refer him to others."

"Ratings speak for themself. Mr. Nemeroff is very professional in his approach to matters, offering his experience in advising the best course of action, while cognizant of reputational risk and costs. He is very communicative with regard to the status of cases."

Brett and Derek took on our case and were very responsive and professional the entire time. They worked tirelessly. They answered very promptly to all of our questions and concerns. They went above and beyond in so many ways. We highly recommend Friedman Schuman.

He also has previous experience litigating cases involving school bond issues, investment fraud, wrongful deaths, federal and state housing claims, real estate issues, ADA compliance and employment claims. In his professional liability defense practice, Mr. Friedman has successfully represented attorneys, real estate brokers, and investment advisers against claims of breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and fraud.

Mr. Friedman earned his Juris Doctor degree from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2013 where he completed a concentration in business and corporate law. He worked as a judicial extern with the San Diego County Superior Court and as a law clerk for several San Diego law firms and public agencies. He is a former newspaper reporter and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona.

The issue in this original proceeding is whether an individual appointed by the court as a provisional director of a professional medical corporation must be a physician or other "licensed person" as that term is defined by Corporations Code sections 13401 and 13401.5. fn. 1 Petitioner Jaroslav Marik, M.D., objects to an order of the respondent court appointing a retired judge as provisional director of the Tyler Medical Clinic, a professional corporation, owned jointly by Dr. Marik and Dr. Stanley Friedman.

We conclude that the respondent court erred. The matter having been fully briefed, issuance of an alternative writ would add nothing to the exposition of the issues. We therefore direct the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandate.

In 1983, differences arose between the doctors and they could not agree on how the corporation was to be run. Dr. Friedman initiated a superior court action requesting the appointment of a provisional director. The court appointed Bruce Rolf, M.D., a candidate recruited by Dr. Friedman, who declined to serve after Dr. Friedman requested that he not accept the appointment. The court then appointed retired superior court judge Arthur K. Marshall, who served for several months. The court then appointed [191 Cal. App. 3d 1138] retired superior court judge Bernard Selber, who served from mid-1984 until he resigned in March 1986.

The corporation was without a provisional director until late 1986, when Dr. Friedman filed a motion requesting that the court appoint retired superior court Judge Robert Wenke to serve as provisional director. Dr. Marik opposed the appointment and requested that Dr. Bruce Rolf be appointed instead. The court granted Dr. Friedman's motion and denied Dr. Marik's motion for reconsideration in which he once again requested the appointment of Dr. Rolf. On February 18, 1987, the court entered its order appointing Judge Wenke. Dr. Marik filed a notice of appeal from that order and also filed the within petition asking that this court immediately resolve the issue. We determined that extraordinary relief was warranted in this case to insure the effective operation of the Tyler Medical Clinic.
