In cases where litigation is necessary, we approach it with a focused strategy that targets all responsible parties.

Honest advice is rare.

In the insurance industry, it is unfortunately common for some professionals to provide clients with information that they believe the client wants to hear, while others may avoid communicating altogether. However, in the realm of Insurance Defense, our approach is quite different. Our commitment is to provide our clients with honest, well-informed, and timely evaluations. We believe that this approach allows us to build trust with our clients and provide them with the best possible service.

At Garcia Legal PA, we approach modern insurance litigation with a practical mindset that acknowledges the reality of the legal landscape. While most cases do settle, we selectively take on a few that require further attention. By providing sound and strategic advice, we aim to strengthen our bond with clients and ensure their satisfaction in any future cases that may arise.

Has it been days since the assignment without any initial demand or report?

Does it feel like the handling of your case's defense is being directed by someone with the primary objective of generating motions and hearings?

Let us change the way you think about insurance defense and reporting. Let us show you what hustle looks like.

All of this is done with an eye toward finding cost-effective solutions including arbitration, mediation, and court-assisted settlement conferences to help our clients maximize their litigation budgets and obtain positive results in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

Accidents and incidents occurring on property happen routinely, and when they do, property owners, lessees and their insurance carriers need to be fully appraised of the potential legal ramifications and exposure as early as possible in the development of the claim.

Whether the property is residential or commercial, our premises liability attorneys provide our clients with cost-effective early case analysis and dispute resolution.

Defending claims on behalf of insurance carriers requires heightened levels of reporting within a budget. Garcia Legal PA provides the full spectrum of litigation services in First and Third Party claims, including SIU services, coverage opinions, and claim investigations.

We understand that defending claims that stem from the Insurer/Insured relationship requires an attorney to be a strong litigator, and have the ability to interpret the complexities of varying insurance polices and their coverages.

This focus on General and Professional liability defense allows us to harness the collective power of our Firm into each individual case. 95% of our caseload stems directly from insurance policy disputes or Third Party representation of insureds, so our attorneys understand the significance of the Insured/Insurer relationship.
