On today’s show of Top Lawyer, trial lawyer Sean Quinn (Quinn Law Group) and co-host Joe Dougherty are joined by Michael S. Friedman, Principal in the Philadelphia Office of Jackson Lewis P.C.
SEAN E. QUINN is a nationally recognized trial lawyer and founder of the Philadelphia-based personal injury law firm, Quinn Law Group. He has extensive experience representing personal injury and wrongful death victims and their families in litigation throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Mr. Quinn is known for his hard-hitting style, tireless work ethic, and unrelenting pursuit of justice for his clients. He prides himself on out-working the competition. A testament to his blue-collar, New Jersey roots. Mr. Quinn has recovered millions of dollars for his clients over the years.
These accomplishments have not gone unnoticed as Mr. Quinn has been recognized by Super Lawyers Magazine, the National Trial Lawyers Association, and Avvo:
Mr. Quinn has been annually recognized by Super Lawyers – Pennsylvania and Super Lawyers -New Jersey, and in 2013, was honored as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer and a New Jersey Super Lawyer – Rising Star. These awards are impressive in that less than 2.5% of the attorneys in each state receive such honors. Even more impressive is the fact that Mr. Quinn was again selected for inclusion on the Super Lawyer lists for both states – an honor that only a handful of attorneys have achieved.
Mr. Quinn’s practice is dedicated to the following types of litigation:
Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Construction Accidents, Industrial Accidents, Workplace Accidents, Car & Truck Accidents, Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Neglect, Products Liability, Premises Liability, Longshoremen Accidents, Brain Injuries, Electrocution, Burn Injuries.
