Freidin Brown: The Miami Firm Whose Founder Has Been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law Since 1989

Philip Freidin has been Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by The Florida Bar since 1989 and recertified three times — and a federal judge recently put the Miami personal injury attorney’s standing in writing: “he is unquestionably among the upper echelons of lawyers in our district.”

At a Glance

Origin and Background

Philip Freidin earned his B.A. from the University of Florida in 1966 and his J.D. from American University in 1969, was admitted to The Florida Bar the same year, and has devoted the ensuing five-plus decades to representing people seriously injured by the wrongful acts of others — including, by his published record, some of the most significant personal injury and medical malpractice cases in Florida’s history. He was a founding partner of the predecessor firm Freidin Dobrinsky Brown & Rosenblum before the practice continued as Freidin Brown. Jonathan Freidin, who graduated summa cum laude from George Washington University and joined the firm in 2014, now serves as managing partner, handling the firm’s most challenging catastrophic injury trials — a documented generational succession within one family practice.

Miami Personal Injury Attorney Practice Concentration

The firm concentrates on plaintiffs’ medical malpractice and complex personal injury — the most technically demanding corner of injury practice, where Florida’s Chapter 766 presuit requirements demand expert corroboration before a case can even be filed. The firm reports having served thousands of Florida clients, with its Miami office in One Biscayne Tower and a second office in Fort Myers. See this Miami Personal Injury directory for how this malpractice-concentrated practice compares to general-negligence firms also serving Miami-Dade County.

Notable Work / Track Record

The firm’s published record emphasizes significant malpractice and catastrophic injury results across decades; its most independently checkable distinctions are credential-based: Philip Freidin’s continuous Florida Bar Civil Trial board certification since 1989 with three recertifications, and his 17 years of service on state and federal Judicial Nominating Commissions, during which more than 60 judges were appointed. The federal-judge quotation about his standing is a documented judicial statement, not firm marketing copy. Past results, where reported, do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

Freidin’s published Avvo record shows a 5.0 rating; one reviewing family, represented in a suit against a local hospital, described him as diligent in obtaining a positive result while “always genuinely being concerned for us and being compassionate,” and a second reviewer called him “an outstanding attorney.” These are attributed, platform-published reviews, though the total published review volume is small — a fact Awesome Attorneys discloses rather than inflates.

Beyond the Courtroom

Freidin’s Judicial Nominating Commission service is a rare form of civic contribution: 17 years helping select Florida’s state and federal bench. He has also taught the plaintiff’s bar itself, with published Florida Justice Association lectures on deposing defense medical experts, opening statements, and malpractice trial strategy.

Recognition for This Miami Personal Injury Attorney

Philip Freidin’s Florida Bar Board Certification in Civil Trial Law — held continuously since 1989 — is the genuine, state-bar-administered credential this directory distinguishes from marketing awards, and his recognitions include Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers selections, both peer-review-driven. The federal judiciary’s own words regarding his standing constitute perhaps the least gameable endorsement an attorney can receive.

Florida Legal Backdrop

Florida medical malpractice claims run on a two-year statute of limitations from discovery, subject to a statute of repose, and require a Chapter 766 presuit process including a corroborating medical expert opinion before suit. Florida’s 2023 tort reform law, HB 837, separately cut the general negligence limitations period from four years to two (Fla. Stat. § 95.11) and adopted modified comparative negligence for most negligence actions (§ 768.81), though medical negligence claims are treated differently under that framework. None of this is legal advice; malpractice deadlines are among the most technical in Florida law, and anyone with a potential claim should consult a licensed attorney promptly.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

Freidin Brown’s clearest differentiator as a Miami personal injury attorney practice is credential depth of the verifiable kind: a founder board certified in civil trial law for 36 consecutive years, a judicially documented reputation, and a generational succession plan already in place with a managing partner trying the firm’s hardest cases. The honest trade-offs, disclosed directly: the firm’s published consumer review volume is small, and its malpractice concentration means routine auto claims are not its core market. For a Miami family facing a medical malpractice or catastrophic injury case — where board certification and courtroom standing matter most — this firm is a strong basis for a shortlist.
