A core tenet of our Firm’s client service philosophy is responsiveness, and Senior Trial Partner Daniel Freidlin takes this ideal to its highest level. Time and time again, his clients characterize him as being accessible, quick to respond, and thoroughly well-prepared. Hospital clients (whose hours are never 9-to-5) regularly find him replying to inquiries and requests almost immediately. A stickler for details, Dan makes a point of knowing all the intricacies of his current cases, and retains a virtually encyclopedic recall of his prior cases.

He is motivated and honored by representing those he refers to as “society’s truest heroes.” His practice encompasses all areas of medical malpractice and product liability defense; he is also well-versed in general liability, professional liability, insurance law and electronic discovery. His 24+ years of experience include:
•Extensive defense of health care professionals and hospitals in medical malpractice actions, with emphasis on radiology, OBGYN, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, and hospital malpractice cases.
•Defense of major medical centers in mass tort litigation against claims involving hepatitis C/HIV transmission, neurosurgery, and alleged fraudulent billing.
•Representation of various manufacturers in product liability litigation.
