Philip Friedman is an American attorney and novelist whose writing career spans from the early 1970s through the 2010s. He practiced law before turning to fiction, and his legal background shapes much of his work. His standalone novels, including Reasonable Doubt (1990), Inadmissible Evidence (1992), and Grand Jury (1996), are set in the New York legal world and draw on the mechanics of trials and criminal investigations.
His earlier work includes the William Kendall series, a quartet of action-driven crime novels published in 1976, and he also contributed short fiction and novellas later in his career. The standalone novels are generally regarded as his most substantial work and received strong notices for their procedural authenticity.
