When Phil Freidin opened his own practice in Miami at the age of 29, he quickly became a legal trend-setter.  His success in a product liability case in the mid-1970’s and a bad faith case a decade later, both established significant case law.  He’s also credited with starting many legal careers in the specialty practice fields that resulted.

More than 50 years later, with his son in the practice, he’s now developed the model for trying False Claims Act cases.  As a former president of the Florida Justice Association, he served at a critical time when the state was considering non-economic damage caps in all personal injury cases. 

Phil Freidin sat down with Florida Justice Association Radio host Harvey Bennett in September 2020 to talk about his trial success, the big case he didn’t take on and later regretted, and the endearing love affair with another lawyer – Ellen Freidin - his wife of more than 50 years.
