He began practice in 1962 following graduation (ranked 3d in his class) from Southwestern University School of Law and, within five years, began preparation and trial of medical malpractice cases almost exclusively.
In 1970, Mr. Friedman ran, albeit unsuccessfully, for a seat in the Federal Legislature.
In 1975, he was on the losing side of the “Battle of MICRA.” Since then, every pleading, every brief and every possible form, he has condemned MICRA and the constitutional outrage that it is.

App. 4th 1304 – counsel a trial level; Segura vs. Cardin (2001) unpublished opinion – Summary Judgment reversed – Court “punts” on constitutional issues); and Gonzalez vs. Chen (2011) 197 Cal. App. 4th 881 – MICRA fee limitations in minor’s cases held superseded by Rule 7.955 of the Calif. Rules of Court.
