About this episode
Rick Friedman shares his journey from prosecuting a fish snagger to becoming a personal injury trial legend, emphasizing resilience and authenticity in the courtroom.
How do you go from prosecuting a fish snagger (yup, it’s a crime) in your first jury trial to becoming a personal injury trial legend? Rick Friedman reveals all in this candid discussion with the host. The author of influential books, including “Rules of the Road,” shares hard-won wisdom about building a successful plaintiff's practice. You don’t necessarily need to be the smartest one in the courtroom, he says, but you do need resilience and authenticity. Therapy helps, too. Most of all, get in the courtroom. Even if it’s to prosecute a fish snagger.
