A
champion of the underdog and other plaintiffs in need of representation,
Theodore H. Friedman has adeptly handled civil and commercial cases for nearly
four decades. Since opening his private practice in Manhattan, he has tried
hundreds of cases, rising at 4 a.m. to prepare for court. Theodore H. Friedman has
argued successfully before the United States Supreme Court and served as trial
and appellate counsel in numerous significant cases, including DeLima v.
Trinidad Corp., related to ship owners’ negligence; and Nallan v.
Helmsley-Spear, Inc., which established landlord liability in specific
circumstances. In Penson v. Rosenberg, he used his expertise to win a jury
award of more than $50 million in an auto-liability case.
For
the Practising Law Institute, Theodore H. Friedman has taught classes in trial preparation
and conduct in New York and nationwide. He also acted as an invited lecturer at
Columbia Law School on similar topics. In other teaching roles, the well-known
trial attorney educated students in Israel in various subjects related to U.S.
law at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Faculty of Law and served as a
Visiting Fellow and Scholar at the University of Oxford’s Wolfson College in
Great Britain.
For
his accomplishments, Theodore has gained recognition over the years in a number of publications. Outliers: The Story of Success, a book written by
Malcolm Gladwell, included two segments on the New York attorney. Calvin
Trillin wrote about him in The New Yorker magazine in an article on jury
selection, and former New York Supreme Court Judge Donald Sullivan complimented
him in the New York Law Journal. A sentimental man as well as an entrepreneur
and talented attorney, Theodore H. Friedman joined his sister in commissioning
an original clarinet concerto by Einojuhani Rautavaara in honor of Mary
Kerewsky Friedman, their late mother. Musicians have performed the piece in
Carnegie Hall, at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and
around the world.
