Galen Gentry, Attorney

"I have 19 years of experience in both state and federal courts. I have been awarded the highest possible rating for legal skill and ethical conduct by Martindale Hubbell*, the oldest attorney rating company in the United States. The three most important characteristics of our firm are accessibility of the attorney, a unique approach to case preparation, and great trial experience.

We are different from other firms because our clients are able to access the attorney handling the case. Most law firms have layers of personnel between the attorney and the clients--receptionists, secretaries, paralegals. This can be very frustrating. At my firm when a client has a substantive question he or she speaks with me.

My firm's approach is to prepare every case as if it will be presented to a jury. Since most cases settle average lawyers never even think about trial until it is almost upon them. We start every case by looking at the jury instructions that will govern the trial of the issues. We use the instructions to draft our pleadings. Everything we do is geared to convincing the jury to find in favor of our client. By preparing for trial we ensure the best possible settlements in those matters that resolve without trial.

We never lose sight of the fact that we work for people. We offer free consultations to prospective clients and flexible fee arrangements. We accept some cases on contigency, we have flat rates and hourly rates for other matters."
