Rick and his team were dedicated to prosecuting the truth on our behalf..

"I endorse this lawyer. Rick does an amazing job of developing the evidence to support his client's claims and presenting that evidence to a jury. Truly a master at his craft."
"I endorse Rick. He is a great lawyer who has obtained great results for his clients. His practice covers a wide range of areas of the law, which range from personal injury to insurance disputes, and he excels at all of them. He is a "David" that has taken down many "Goliaths.""
"Rick Friedman, is simply a great man. Although he is a gifted trial lawyer with a long list of victories, an author, and a mentor to many lawyers, he demonstrates a generosity of spirit and a rare sense of wisdom by giving back. I only hope that those of us who have been lucky enough to have interacted with him pay forward these gifts and make a positive difference. He is deserving of my highest endorsement."
"Don't be put off by the Bremerton Washington address. Rick Friedman is one of the best lawyers in the country in a wide variety of cases from insurance disputes, to catastrophic injury cases. He is also one of the leading trial strategy authors of his generation, with two best selling legal texts to his credit. His practice is national, and he's the lawyer to bring in as co-counsel when the rest of the client's life is at stake."
