Richard "Rick" Friedman of the law firm of Friedman Rubin handles the cases others are unable or unwilling to take. As a personal injury attorney he represents his clients with a true advocacy, placing his experience and expertise at the use of clients who have in some cases walked away from trial with multi-million dollar verdicts. His practice has included all types of cases from personal injury and wrongful death suits to medical malpractice and insurance bad faith. He's gone against the likes of State Farm, securing for his client $150 million, against Paul Revere for $84 million, and Aetna Life Insurance Company for $61.7 million. He wins because he's one of the best. Lawdragon has listed him in their 500 best attorneys for 2008, he's listed with Washington Superlawyers, and he's gained membership to the exclusive invitation only Inner Circle of Advocates, 1 of only 100 in the group of leading trial attorneys in the nation. Along with his practice he's the author of 3 books written to aid others in his profession. Rules of the Road: A Plaintiff Lawyer's Guide to Proving Liability; Polarizing the Case: Exposing and Defeating the Malingering Myth, a book that's a practical guide to help trial attorneys during every phase of the trial; and Rick Friedman on Becoming a Trial Lawyer, a book containing practical advice on how trial lawyers can go about reaching their full potential. Licensed to practice in Alaska, California, and Washington, Friedman regularly appears pro hac vice in other courts, going where needed to work cases that others won't.
