Rick Barnes Email & Phone Number

I am a founding partner of Goodell DeVries. In my years at the firm, I have represented clients in complex tort, commercial, and product liability litigation. Whether the dispute involves pharmaceuticals, medical devices, antitrust, breach of contract, unfair trade practices, aviation, commercial torts or state procurement laws I am determined to provide my clients with the best legal services available. What I find most interesting about my work is the opportunity to learn new things and meet people who are accomplished: people who make discoveries, design new products, and who make a difference. Defending companies who employ such people makes it easy to come to work in the morning. And now a little about my experience, in December 2013 fellow partner Linda Woolf and I successfully defended DENTSPLY International in a three-week UCL class action trial in San Francisco Superior Court. That same year, I also successfully litigated a complex state procurement dispute on behalf of an institutional pharmacy before the Maryland Board of Contract Appeals. Although I really like the diversity of my civil litigation practice, I spend the majority of my time representing pharmaceutical and medical device clients in cases around the country. This has given me the opportunity to litigate class actions, multi-plaintiff cases, and a variety of industry cases. I have briefed or argued cases before the United States Supreme Court and various state and federal appellate courts. My clients include:• Pfizer Inc.• Wyeth• Telectronics Pacing Systems, Inc.• Pacific Dunlop, Ltd.• DENTSPLY International• Johnson & Johnson• DePuy Orthopedics• L. Perrigo Company• Nissan Motor Credit Corporation• A.H. Robins Co.• Gruss & Co. • Correct Rx Pharmacy • ARINC, Vermont TalcIf you would like to speak to me about your business needs please feel free to email me at rmb@gdldlaw.com.
