Episode 7: Attorney Joe Fried Talks Fighting Ford, Motivations, and Sacrifices of a Trial Lawyer
“I don’t believe in many coincidences. I think things happen and there is something that guides that. Something compelled me and as you fast forward through this story of Joe, just a couple of months in, I was consumed with this matter. I was in this partnership that allowed me to basically lay all these other cases aside. So I started to focus my efforts and my attention on this and I called people. I called parents of people that died years before and I asked them ‘Can I come talk to you’, some said no, and a few said yes. So I flew to places and I talked to them about their loved ones and whether they knew of a problem and if any of them had looked into this.” – Joe Fried
