"Brian is a skilled lawyer who fights hard for his clients. He is an expert in medical malpractice litigation and is not afraid to bring a case to trial to protect his client's rights. He is adept at identifying issues in a case and forming the appropriate strategies to obtain a successful result."
"I have worked against Brian in the criminal field many times. He is an aggressive and respected criminal defense attorney in Suffolk County."
"I have know Brian Trodden since we began practicing law together in the District Attorney's office over 16 years ago. Even back in 1997 Brian was known for his outstanding trial skills. All the new ADA's knew that Brian was going to be a rockstar in the litigation area. That all came true when Brian opened his own practice with fellow ADA Michael Castro. I have seen Brian Trodden on trial and have heard about his huge awards both from settlements on the even of trial, through negotiations, and through the litigation itself. I refer all of my personal injury cases to his firm and I highly recommend that anyone with a personal injury case, particularly a medical malpractice case, go to Brian Trodden. His trial skills are outstanding. He has a true passion for this work and a rare talent."
