He also served as a part-time Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the Lake County Juvenile Court. In 1970, he became corporate counsel in the office of the Indiana Secretary of State, as well as a partner at the Indianapolis firm Dann Pecar Newman Talesnick & Kleiman. In 1992, Governor Evan Bayh appointed Friedlander to the Indiana Court of Appeals, where he served until his retirement in 2015.
