Super Lawyers - Georgia 2016

The Atlanta law firm of Fried Rogers Goldberg LLC is frequently associated in by other lawyers to represent their injured clients in complex trucking and commercial vehicle cases. “While we appreciate the rare opportunity to be hired directly by the client, 95 percent of our cases come from other lawyers who bring us in as lead counsel because of our expertise in commercial vehicle cases,” says partner Joe Fried.

Because most states allow fee-sharing
arrangements, the firm is able to work
with lawyers from across the country.
“Sometimes the lawyer regularly handles
personal injury cases, but doesn't have the
time or expertise to devote to a catastrophic
injury or death case,” says Michael Goldberg.

“Other times our co-counsel is a lawyer who focuses on divorce, criminal, real estate or other types of law, and just happens to have a connection with the client.” The firm has handled more than 100 commercial vehicle cases in which the settlement or verdict was in excess of a million dollars. “I sent a tough liability trucking case to them where my client was paralyzed,” says workers’ compensation attorney Seth Bader. “I was impressed when the case settled less than a year later, and I received a seven-figure fee as co-counsel.” For more information on fee-sharing arrangements with Fried Rogers Goldberg, please visit cocounselshare.com.
