Carriers call us when a file is not going well. A meaningful share of our work arrives mid-discovery after mediation has failed, in the month before trial, or in the days before it — including matters where the excess carrier, not the primary, decided the existing defense needed to change. We are comfortable taking over a case in poor posture and finding what can still be moved.
That work is possible because our attorneys try cases. As fewer matters reach a courtroom, the firms genuinely prepared to try one negotiate from a different position than the firms that are not. We are retained most often where exposure is significant and the facts are contested — catastrophic injury claims against commercial carriers, construction defect matters with layered indemnity and additional-insured questions, premises claims that arrive in volume and must be handled in proportion to their actual risk.
Our work is evaluated by claims professionals who read a great many budgets and status reports, so we write ours to be useful: an early, candid assessment of exposure, a plan that matches the number, and no surprises before trial. From offices in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Walnut Creek, the firm handles matters throughout Texas and California. Hablamos español.
