At GTTC we limit our practice to complex civil litigation and trial work. Our practice focuses on insurance recovery, general commercial litigation, and serious personal injury claims, both for plaintiffs and defendants. We foster a culture of excellence based on two principles: preparation and judgment. We prepare every matter, from the beginning, on the assumption it will be tried to verdict. Viewing the case through the lens of trial serves our clients well, whether or not the case ultimately is tried. The GTTC lawyer you hire is the lawyer who does your work. We consciously avoid the "pyramid" model of many junior lawyers reporting to a few senior partners. Our partners roll up their sleeves, do the work, and know the facts and law, period. A lawyer's greatest asset is his or her judgment—that which is earned predominantly by standing in court, presenting evidence, and persuading judges and juries. We do this every day by focusing on our client's ultimate objective and avoiding minor but costly battles that do not advance that objective. Our 24-year track record has proven the value of this approach to our clients. GTTC provides litigation and insurance policyholder recovery and coverage advice services to a broad spectrum of clients from FORTUNE 50 corporations to startups, government entities, not-for-profit organizations, and individuals.
