At GARNIER & GARNIER, P.C. we focus on being trial lawyers. We prepare cases for trial, from start-to-finish. Of course, being the best trial lawyers we can be includes more than just going to court. We devote our full energy and talent to each step of the process: drafting pleadings and briefs, investigating facts, researching the issues, meeting with witnesses, negotiating, reporting to our clients, and orchestrating the trial process itself. Preparing for trial means gaining a deep understanding not only of the legal issues, but the underlying medical, scientific, or technical issues that usually form the core of the dispute. Doing those things well often means a trial won't be necessary after all. But our efforts-- carefully directed to serve the client's needs economically and efficiently in each case-- ensure that if a dispute has to be resolved in court, we won't shy away from that arena when the time comes.
We have a nationwide client base of product manufacturers, corporations, insurers, retailers, and other businesses and individuals. Our client list includes several of the world's largest pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, America's leading car rental companies, several major elevator and escalator manufacturers, the world's largest cable/telecommunication company, nationally known retailers, hotels and service companies, medical professionals, and other prominent corporations and individuals.
