Michael B. Geoola
Partner
Leads the firm's catastrophic injury docket and tries high-exposure negligence and wrongful death cases to verdict.
Background
Michael B. Geoola built his practice on the cases other firms decline — catastrophic injury and wrongful death matters where liability is contested, the defense is well funded, and the outcome depends on trial readiness rather than a demand letter.
He takes a case as if it will be tried from the day it is opened: investigators in the field within hours, evidence preservation letters out immediately, and a damages model built with medical, vocational, and economic experts long before mediation.
That preparation is what moves insurers. Michael has resolved eight-figure claims at the courthouse steps and taken others to verdict when the defense refused to value a life honestly.
