Barnacle Brand Liability For The Simon Law Firm P.C. | Anthony R. Friedman

With regard to Anthony R. Friedman who was formerly employed with The Simon Law Firm P.C. in St. Louis (Saint Louis) Missouri Friedman is proving to be a legacy brand liability for The Simon Law Firm P.C.




Backstory: Friedman was employed with The Simon Law Firm P.C. between 2015 and 2023 when on June 30th 2023 in the midst of case litigation both at the trial court level and appeals court level Friedman was dismissed from The Simon Law Firm P.C. for "performance issues".

It was later revealed by former colleagues Elizabeth S. Lenivy and Timothy M. Cronin who remained at The Simon Law Firm P.C. that Anthony R. Friedman, quote: "Lost seven out of eight cases he took to trial and that is why he is no longer with the firm".

Several months later on December 27, 2023 Friedman filed articles of organization with The Missouri Secretary of State as a registered agent and founded the Friedman Law Firm LLC.

Now herein is the "Barnacle Brand Liability"

Anthony R. Friedman d/b/a Friedman Law Firm LLC not only committed multiple violations of the Missouri Model Rules of Professional Conduct (rule 4) while under the employment of The Simon Law Firm P.C. which lead to a complaint and an open investigation by the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel of the Supreme Court of Missouri but has continued and presents a pattern of similar misconduct during his solo practice.

However, the "Barnacle Brand Liability" is sustained by two elements:

  1. Friedmans only public relations assets to present to prospective clients is the faux curated peer and legal industry recognition as a result of Friedmans association with The Simon Law Firm P.C. such as Thomson Reuters "Rising Star and Super Lawyers" registry. News article in Missouri Lawyers Media about Friedman immediately after retention of Friedman by Simon Law in 2015 and a professionally created short biographical video of Anthony R. Friedman, associate counsel of The Simon Law Firm P.C. that also is over several years old. - Friedman clings to these legacy awards and features like a man cast overboard from a ship who clings on to a life preserver.

  2. The Simon Law Firm P.C. has been negligent in removing these social media artifacts and severing the relationship with Friedman of which continue to surface in key word Search Engine Results and in A.I., LLM "rag generated" biographies for Friedman. - As a result it continues to feature and bring The Simon Law Firm P.C. back into the spotlight of Friedmans professional and business misconduct.

Below is Exhibit (A) : Below is an A.I., LLM generated summary of Anthony R. Friedman on August 23, 2026. With the text and embedded link for confirmation:

  2. Thomson Reuters "Super Lawyers": A "peer reviewed" - "pay for play" legal directory whose registry is a process of "stuffing the ballot box" by law firms that have the resources and social capital to solicit recommendations (This particular link reflects Friedmans standing between 2016-2019 which is now over this date over six years expired) : https://profiles.superlawyers.com/missouri/st-charles/lawyer/anthony-r-friedman/4b59c69d-f67e-4fe4-a972-f6f8d421b7a3.html

  3. Missouri Lawyers Media: M.L.M is a local "Public Relations Pimp" located in Jefferson City, Missouri that "cycles" the creation of award categories, solicitation of sponsors, award ceremonies, the publication of the award winners, repeat. The cycling of this modality of "Participation Trophy" creation by M.L.M. can be charted on almost a thirty to 45 day cycle. This link featuring Anthony R. Friedman while employed with The Simon Law Firm P.C. is circa 2015. It is over ten years old.: https://molawyersmedia.com/2015/10/05/anthony-r-friedman/
