Richard Wedinger

Biography

As Managing Partner and founder of Barry, McTiernan & Wedinger, relishes trial work, and tenaciously represents his clients, whether defending claims brought against them, or pursuing recoveries on their behalf.

Admitted to the New Jersey and New York bars in 1988, Rick is also admitted to practice in the United States District Courts in New York and New Jersey. He has also very successfully tried cases pro hac vice in the states of Connecticut and Pennsylvania, as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Obtaining his law degree from Syracuse University in 1987 (where he was accepted to Law Review and graduated cum laude), after clerking for New York Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Clemente, Rick then commenced his legal career with Barry, McTiernan & Moore in 1988 in New York City. In 1991, he opened the New Jersey office for the firm. As such, Rick has grown and developed this office, through very careful selection of attorneys with whom he has chosen to partner. Mindful always of the need to provide consistent, reliable, servicing to all clients, Rick has staffed the office with those equally hard-working, and driven, to maximize client satisfaction and outstanding results.

Proficient at the trial and appellate levels, Rick has won seven-figure results on behalf of plaintiffs, and defeated seven-figure demands on behalf of defendants. He has argued at the appellate level, not only in the state courts of New Jersey and New York, but also in the Federal Circuit Courts, as well as in the New Jersey Supreme Court; he has also submitted several briefs to the United States Supreme Court. Twice his winning arguments have been approved for publication by the New Jersey Appellate Division, and are frequently cited in the case books. Rick is a member of the Monmouth County Bar Association, as well as DANY (Defense Association of New York).
