‘Lovelorn Lawyer’ Sues Pricey Matchmaker, Claims Unsuitable Pairings
A New York lawyer has filed a $100,000 lawsuit against a pricey matchmaker over what he says were unsuitable pairings.
John Friedland, 51, says in his suit that dating service Amy Laurent International refused to return his $10,000 fee when he complained about his matches, the New York Daily News reports. The article describes Friedland as a “lovelorn lawyer” and Laurent as a “love guru” whose website features photos of beautiful women in sexy poses.
According to the story, Friedland alleged that his matches were already involved with other men, weren’t “suitable” to his goals or wouldn’t consider “someone of plaintiff’s background.”
Amy Laurent told the New York Daily News in a separate story that Friedland was too picky. “There’s only so much I can do,” she said. “I don’t have a magic wand—I’m a matchmaker, not a therapist.”
