Mr. Niedenthal has now been practicing for 35 years. For the
initial 18 years of his legal career, Mr. Niedenthal worked as a lawyer
representing automotive manufacturers such as Nissan, Honda and General Motors
throughout the country in products liability litigation. Upon realizing his
true calling was in helping those who had been injured and wronged, 16 years
ago, Mr. Niedenthal began handling products liability cases and other complex
litigation on behalf of plaintiffs. This has included cases against automotive
manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. The ability to fight for someone
who has had significant tragedy in their life and be able to provide them some
hope for the future has been an incredible gift of this journey. Mr. Niedenthal
has had the privilege of representing parents who lost their child due to
suicide caused by an anti-depressants, husbands and children who lost their
mother due to the taking of a “bad drug”, and in one case, an entire family who
lost 3 family members and were left with 2 family members severely brain damaged
all in one car crash due to the complete lack of care shown by a corporation in
accepting responsibility for dangerous conditions it was causing to the
roadway.
Mr. Niedenthal brings a different perspective to cases because
he has handled cases from “the other side”. He knows how they view cases, what
strategies they may try, and how they evaluate cases. It permits him to
anticipate how they will react to certain claims and know the potential moves
before they even happen. This experience on both sides also provides Mr.
Niedenthal with different thoughts on issues than other attorneys representing
the injured and wronged because for the first 18 years of his practice, he
handled complex litigation on behalf of corporate America.
Mr. Niedenthal is licensed to practice in Alabama, Tennessee and
Florida. He has given seminars and presentations throughout the country on
issues ranging from how to pursue a products claim against a pharmaceutical
company to how to address issues of production of electronic discovery in
complex litigation.
