Underwriters Take Notice - The Friedman Law Firm LLC

As a part of my on going citizen journalism, consumer advocacy modality I have observed and documented a pattern of professional misconduct by Anthony R. Freidman Mo Bar #65531 with highly questionable, if not unethical and incompetent business decisions and practices that demonstrate a reckless, haphazard introduction and continuation into the personal injury legal market.  

Therefore, I find it incumbent upon me to to send an advisory to any and all known insurers and underwrites of professional liability policies citing this conduct for their review in making their risk assessment analysis upon the application for or renewal of Anthony R. Friedman d.b.a. The Friedman Law Firm LLC. 

Below is a copy of the advisory that has been sent to several insurers, indemnifiers for their consideration. 

 TO: Chief Underwriting Officer / Claims and Risk Assessment Department RE: Material Risk Disclosure Concerning Applicant/Insured Attorney: Anthony R. Friedman Missouri Bar Number: #65531 Firm: The Friedman Law Firm LLC (St. Charles, MO) Date: November 10, 2025

This communication is provided to all known and potential professional liability insurance carriers to formally disclose material, adverse facts regarding the current risk profile of Attorney Anthony R. Friedman. This information is highly relevant to any decision to offer, renew, or underwrite a professional liability insurance policy for the above-referenced attorney or firm.

Be advised of the following actions, which constitute reportable circumstances that should be disclosed on all insurance applications and renewal forms:

• Pending OCDC Complaint: A comprehensive Bar complaint is currently being prepared and is scheduled for submission to the Missouri Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (OCDC) no later than December 31, 2025. The complaint involves multiple alleged acts of nonfeasance, misfeasance, and malfeasance related to client representation and professional conduct.
• Pending Malpractice Litigation: A formal legal malpractice complaint is also being prepared, naming Anthony R. Friedman, et al., as defendants. The complaint alleges a chronic pattern of professional misconduct spanning a 3.5-year period in connection with a medical malpractice/personal injury matter. This litigation is anticipated to commence shortly after the OCDC filing deadline.

For your consideration in assessing risk and compliance (Moral Hazard), please note the following alleged and factual indicators demonstrating a pattern of non-compliance that was resolved only after external intervention. Evidence suggests the attorney:

• Advertising Misconduct (Violation of Rule 4-7.1): Advertised large settlements and jury awards without the requisite attribution that those results were achieved during his prior employment. The misleading content was amended only after public disclosure of the ethical violation was initiated by a consumer advocate.
• Non-Compliance with Local Law (Forced Compliance): For a period of approximately 17 months, operated a law practice illegally out of a private residence, in violation of St. Charles County zoning and/or business ordinances. The attorney was brought into compliance only after a formal complaint was filed with the St. Charles County Planning and Zoning Department and an official investigation was opened.
• Business Structure & Asset Status: The firm's only publicly listed business address is a mail-receiving service located at a UPS Store (6209 Mid Rivers Mall Dr. Suite 204, St. Charles, MO 63304), indicating a lack of established, commercial office space.

This information confirms a major financial vulnerability for the entire market:

• Uninsured Status: As of the date of 3, 30,2025 based on an inquiry with the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Anthony R. Friedman does not retain a professional liability insurance policy. This means any future judgment against the firm arising from his solo practice will be satisfied only by personal assets.

This notice is provided as a consumer advocacy service to ensure that all potential underwriters are aware of these material adverse risk circumstances which would mandate disclosure on any insurance application. Providing or renewing coverage for an attorney facing pending disciplinary action, litigation, and a proven pattern of non-compliance carries significant and documented financial exposure.
