About

Provided by Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith

Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith represents domestic and international insurers in complex, high value defense matters, pairing deep trial experience with disciplined claim evaluation to drive business aligned outcomes. The team offers bench strength across coverage, liability, and extracontractual exposures, with capabilities in property damage, coverage disputes, bad faith, excess coverage, subrogation, and professional liability. We also handle construction defects, inland marine, trucking and transportation, premises and product liability, toxic torts, environmental claims, and both first and third party disputes.

Firm lawyers emphasize early risk assessment, clear communication, and efficient case management calibrated to severity and budget. Experienced negotiators set resolution strategy—negotiation, mediation, or trial—as circumstances dictate, and our appellate capability protects outcomes across state and federal courts.

Operational readiness sets us apart in the Gulf South. Our 24/7 Emergency and Rapid Response Team deploys immediately to preserve evidence and guide next steps, critical for carriers confronting hurricane related and catastrophic claims. This rapid posture stabilizes matters early, contains costs, and improves timeline predictability.
