Answered by: Thomas V. Girardi of Girardi | Keese
The Los Angeles-based firm’s success in the field is the result of five factors: understanding, resources, experience, creativity and dedication.
Understanding: We have a comprehensive understanding of the science and technology involved in these products, the law that governs the field, and the manner in which products are designed, manufactured, marketed and promoted.
Experience: G & K has built on 35 years of experience trying pharmaceutical and medical device cases. G & K has adapted to advances in technology and changes in the law and continued its success.
Resources: Past success has provided us with the financial resources to handle these cases, and G & K has the manpower to fight “Big Pharma.” We have nine partners who are members of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an organization that requires each member to have tried 20 civil jury trials.
Creativity: We value the enthusiasm that our younger lawyers bring us, but we value even more the fresh viewpoint that they provide in analyzing cases. The energy and creativity that our newer lawyers bring to the table is important to our success.
Dedication: G & K is dedicated to helping people. At the end of the day, our passion to do the right thing is what serves our clients best.
