You’re in the right place.

People arrive here for different reasons. Some are shaken. Some are angry. Some are worn down from trying to keep everything from falling apart while an insurance company delays, minimizes, or plays games.

Reaching out doesn’t escalate anything. It doesn’t commit you to a lawsuit. And it doesn’t mean you’re being difficult or asking for too much. It’s simply a way to get oriented — to understand what matters, what doesn’t, and what your real options are.

This starts as a conversation. I’ll listen, ask a few questions, and be straight with you about whether I can help. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you that too.

 

Common questions people have at this point

You don’t pay anything up front.

I handle cases on a contingency fee, which means I’m paid only if we recover money for you. My fee is a percentage of the recovery, and that percentage depends on the type of case and how it resolves. We’ll talk about that clearly before you decide anything.

There are also case costs — things like filing fees, medical records, depositions, and expert witnesses. I advance those costs as the case moves forward. At the end of a successful case, those costs are reimbursed from the recovery, on top of the attorney’s fee.

Here’s the part that matters:
There are no surprises. You’ll understand how fees and costs work before we move forward, and I’ll keep you informed as the case develops so you’re never left wondering where things stand.

If the case doesn’t result in a recovery, you don’t owe an attorney’s fee.

You’ll work directly with me — not a case manager, not a rotating team. I listen first, take you seriously, and give you the same advice I’d give someone I care about. If something feels confusing, overwhelming, or unfair, we slow down and deal with it together.

I take on cases when people feel dismissed, underestimated, or pushed aside — often by insurance companies that expect compliance instead of resistance.

When that happens, I’m direct, prepared, and unafraid to apply pressure. I don’t posture, but I don’t back down either.

I work in hard cases. Complex facts, disputed liability, stubborn insurers — that’s familiar ground. I turn complexity into a story that decision-makers can’t ignore, and I’m willing to take a case further when that’s what justice requires.

I don’t promise outcomes I can’t stand behind. What I do promise is honesty, preparation, and follow-through. You’ll know where things stand, what the risks are, and why decisions are being made — with no surprises.

From start to finish, I own the strategy and the result. If we move forward together, your case isn’t delegated away — it’s stewarded. And if at any point I don’t believe I’m the right lawyer for you, I’ll say so clearly and early.

That’s a fair question — and it’s usually the wrong one to answer first.

Anyone who gives you a number before they understand your injuries, your recovery, and how this has actually changed your life is guessing — or selling.

Here’s what does matter:

My job is to prepare your case so thoroughly that the insurance company understands exactly what a jury would do with it — and pays you fairly without forcing you into a courtroom.

Most cases settle for the right number because the other side sees the risk of trial.

And if they don’t?

We go ask the jury.

I won’t throw out a number today.
I will take your case as far as it needs to go — and ask for every dollar the law allows.

Most personal injury cases fall into one of three timelines.

Some resolve in a few months — usually because the facts are clear and the insurance company does the right thing early.

Others take longer, often a year or more, because your medical recovery isn’t finished yet — and settling too soon would shortchange you.

And a small percentage require litigation. Those cases typically take 18–24 months, sometimes longer, because the other side needs to be forced to take the case seriously.

What matters most is this: we don’t move faster than your recovery, and we don’t wait longer than your case requires.

You stay informed. You stay in control. And we make timing decisions together — based on outcomes, not impatience.

Nothing dramatic — and nothing passive.

You’re not committing to anything, and you won’t be pressured or rushed.
But you also won’t be ignored.

We’ll connect quickly. I’ll help you get oriented, identify what matters most right now, and assess whether there’s something that needs immediate action.

If there is, we act.
If there isn’t, we slow it down and make smart decisions.

Reaching out isn’t giving up control.
It’s deciding not to face this alone.

Property-damage-only claims can be complex and resource-intensive, so Galileo Law accepts these cases selectively. We are generally only able to take them when liability is clear and the vehicle involved is an exotic or ultra-luxury vehicle valued at approximately $100,000 or more. If you are unsure whether your case meets these criteria, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your situation.

Take the next step when you’re ready.

If you’re here, your instincts are probably telling you something isn’t right. Trust that. A short conversation can bring things back into focus and get momentum moving in the right direction.
