With his team at Janet, Janet & Suggs, he has recovered tens of millions of dollars to help injured plaintiffs and their families rebuild their lives.
Patrick represents clients in individual lawsuits and in class actions in trial courts across the country. NBC News, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, and other local and national media organizations have reported on his cases.
Patrick has presented written or oral argument to numerous federal and state appellate courts. He has served as counsel of record on a brief to the United States Supreme Court and has presented briefing and oral argument to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He also maintains an active pro bono practice. Recently, he secured asylum for a child who fled her home country as a result of physical and sexual violence.
Patrick’s advocacy for his clients extends beyond the courtroom. He has served the Maryland Association of Justice (MAJ) in a variety of capacities, including positions in the Board of Governors and Executive Committee. On behalf of MAJ, he has testified numerous times before the Maryland General Assembly to advocate for fair treatment of injured and disadvantaged people. Patrick has also been an author of amicus (“friend of the court”) briefs on civil justice issues submitted to state and federal appellate courts.
Patrick has been recognized as a Super Lawyers® Rising Star (2021, 2022), as Top 40 under 40 from the National Trial Lawyers, and as a Distinguished Justice Advocate. He is the 2022 recipient of the Robert J. Zarbin Legislative Advocacy Award from MAJ.
Patrick is admitted to practice in state and federal district courts in Illinois, Maryland, and Minnesota, as well as the United States Courts of Appeals for the Third, Fourth, and Sixth Circuits and the United States Supreme Court. He has been specially admitted to represent clients in Arizona, the District of Columbia, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Before becoming a lawyer, Patrick served as communications director for the Office of the Mayor of Salt Lake City, where he was the mayor’s speechwriter and media liaison.

Zimmermann","LawyerGivenName":"Benjamin R.","LawyerMiddleName":null,"LawyerFamilyName":"Zimmermann","LawyerInitials":"BZ","Biography":"Of his 20 years practicing law, Ben Zimmermann has spent 20 at Sugarman & Sugarman P.C. in Boston. After finishing his studies at Fordham University School of Law, he got his start in the corporate litigation group of a large New York City firm. His path quickly changed and took him to SUGARMAN, where he has emerged as a leading trial lawyer in New England, and the managing partner of a firm with a sixty year history of excellence in litigating and trying serious personal injury cases.
Raised in Iowa, where his father and uncle were both lawyers, Mr. Zimmermann was thrilled to join SUGARMAN, where he could represent individuals. “I always thought of a lawyer as someone who was in a courtroom representing a person who needed help. I gravitated to that, and also I couldn’t wait to raise my family in Boston,” he says.
Like any trial lawyer, experience and success didn’t always come easy. “In one of my first cases, in the middle of trial, the judge leaned over the bench and said ‘Mr. Zimmermann, this jury isn’t going to give your client anything.’” That jury came back with a $7.5 million verdict, teaching him a valuable lesson. “Some cases just need to be tried. If you put in the work and stay true to the facts, you can get a good result even if no one else thinks you can.”
Mr. Zimmermann took that lesson and put it to use, notching a string of seven figure verdicts in recent years, from the precedent-setting $20.6 million wrongful death verdict against Toys “R” Us for a defective pool slide, to a $30.5 million medical malpractice verdict, to seven figure verdicts in construction, motor vehicle, and other medical malpractice cases. “Every good result is a team effort, and a trial lawyer can never, ever forget that. I am really lucky to be in a firm with a long line of accomplished trial lawyers to learn from, both practicing and retired. That learning never stops, and the people who benefit the most from it are the clients.”
As far as running a firm with the history of founding partners Paul and Neil Sugarman, “All I can say is that I am deeply humbled that Paul and Neil have trusted me to run the firm; they have spent decades instilling their values in everyone here, from partners to our incredible associates and staff; and motivate all of us every day to carry on the excellence that they have embodied.” According to Mr. Zimmermann, the firm’s frequent, significant verdicts and settlements are a function of the fact that every partner at the firm has been successful in the courtroom. “There is a need out there for lawyers and firms who will do the work, who will get in the courtroom and put their client’s case in front of a jury,” says Mr. Zimmermann. “Just like every good verdict, every good settlement requires the knowledge and skill to get on your feet and try your client’s case.” That is, at heart, the mission at SUGARMAN.

Everyone's going to say it's impossible,” says Matt Nakajima. “You're not always going to win. But you have to have that gumption to not give up in the face of doubt.”
As partner and trial lawyer at personal injury law firm Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima (RRN) in Lebanon, Ohio, Matt is no stranger to facing doubt. For better or worse, it’s been his greatest motivator.
For example, when Matt wanted to pursue college, he was told his dyslexia would get in the way. Or, when he wanted to quit his job selling cell phones at the mall to pursue law school, he was told he wasn’t smart enough. Or, when he was rejected from several law schools.
At every turn, Matt overcame the odds others had placed on him – but his obstacles didn’t end there. Matt went on to attend the Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University, and after landing at one of the biggest defense law firms in Ohio, Matt experienced what he describes as his biggest adversity to-date: being prevented from taking the bar exam.
“I remember getting a letter in the mail two days before the exam saying I couldn’t take it and I didn’t know why,” Matt recalls.
After telling the managing partner the news, he lost that job. Still holding on to hope, Matt crossed paths with two local trial lawyers – Bob Sanders and Mark Schumacher – who not only believed Matt was being unfairly excluded from the exam, but fought for him, too. The team ended up taking Matt’s case to the Columbus Supreme Court where the decision was overturned so he could finally be licensed in Ohio.
“From that moment on, I wanted to dedicate my life to helping other people,” says Matt. “Because at one time in my life, I needed a champion. I needed someone to fight for me. And those trial lawyers were my champions.”
Seeing the Good in Humanity
At RRN, Matt mainly focuses on personal injury, catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Often, his work allows him to represent countless underdogs who may otherwise not receive the legal help they need.
“Every aspect of my life was built on someone else giving me a chance,” says Matt. “I want to be a voice for the voiceless because I [too] needed help throughout my life.”
The adversity Matt faced throughout his life, and subsequently the people who’ve helped him, are the reasons why he continues to see the good in humanity.
Specifically, Matt recalls a 2018 case where his client suffered a significant shoulder injury as a result of a car crash. While the accident left no visible property damage to his client’s vehicle, he ended up with a torn rotator cuff – an injury unbeknownst to him until he visited urgent care days later.
“He was a tough guy [in his late 30s], a landscaper, a guy who works with his hands. He prided himself on the fact that he would tough it out and get better,” explained Matt.
Eventually, his client needed four separate shoulder surgeries to correct the injury. Yet, his insurance company’s top offer was only $20,000 due to a clerical error on the urgent care paperwork that documented his pain in the opposite shoulder. Matt and his client refused the offer, opting for a jury trial in Campbell County, Kentucky instead.
“[Other trial lawyers] told me that this was one of the most conservative places in all of America – that you can’t get millions of dollars for a shoulder tear case – and that the top value was $100,000,” said Matt.
And again, beating the odds as he often does, Matt, his co-counsel and client walked away with a $1,028,317 verdict – one of the largest for a non-death case in the history of Campbell County.
Looking back, Matt associates this success to rallying around his client and his family when they needed it most.
“We believed in the case. We got to know him. We got to know his family and his small children,” Matt said. “I got to see the real impact that these shoulder tears – even after surgery – had on his quality of life, like his ability to hold his kids.”
