Our Results Speak for Themselves
We are proud of the results we have achieved for our clients over more than 30 years serving the greater San Mateo area. Two cases illustrate what we are prepared to do when insurers refuse to be reasonable.
We obtained a $4.5 million settlement in a boating accident case. The insurance company’s opening offer was $300,000. In a motorcycle accident case, the investigating officer found our client 100% at fault. We took it to trial. A jury awarded our client nearly $1 million after the insurer offered only $20,000.
If an insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we are prepared to fight in court if necessary.
A Selective Firm Built for Complex Cases
Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos is not a high-volume firm. We are selective by design. We focus on bigger, more challenging cases that demand our full attention and advanced litigation skills.
This approach means our clients benefit from:
- Dedicated resources — We invest fully in investigating every detail of your case.
- Focused attention — Your case is handled by our most experienced attorneys, not passed down to junior staff.
- Trial readiness — We prepare every case for trial from day one. That preparation strengthens our position at the negotiating table.
Insurance companies and opposing counsel know our reputation. That matters when it comes time to negotiate or litigate.
