Why did an insurance defense lawyer switch sides?

Miami personal-injury attorney · Serving all of Florida

For more than 20 years, the world’s largest companies and their insurers hired me to defend them. I know how they decide what your injury is worth, and how they’ll build their defense to pay you less — because I used to be the one doing it. Now I use that same knowledge and skill to protect your rights.

Why I started Galimidi Law

Everyone deserves the firepower the insurance companies already have.

I founded Galimidi Law on a simple idea: the injured should have access to the same caliber of representation that insurers and large corporations take for granted. For two decades I provided exactly that representation — to the other side. I built this firm to bring it to the people who need it most.

20 years on the other side

I learned the insurance playbook by writing it.

Shareholder at a national defense firm

A shareholder at one of the most successful, fastest-growing defense firms in the country, with offices in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.

Head of Product Liability

Rose from associate to head of the firm’s Product Liability Practice Group, leading high-stakes litigation for major corporate clients.

Catastrophic cases

Routinely litigated catastrophic injury, wrongful death, sexual assault, and class-action defense — the cases insurers fight hardest.

Why I switched

Same knowledge. Opposite side.

After years of helping corporations limit what they paid injured people, I decided that insight belonged with the injured. Today I use everything the defense side taught me — the tactics, the valuations, the pressure points — for the people insurers used to call me to stop.

Experience

The judgment that only comes from two decades in the room.

Most plaintiff lawyers learn how insurers think from the outside. I learned it from the inside. For nearly twenty years I defended insurance companies, manufacturers, and major corporations — rising from associate to shareholder and head of a national firm’s Product Liability Practice Group. I was in the rooms where adjusters set reserves, where defense strategy is built, and where the real decision gets made about what a claim is worth.

That experience changes how I handle your case. I can tell a routine offer from a serious one. When an insurer disputes how an injury happened, minimizes its severity, or simply delays, I recognize the tactic because I spent years on the other end of it. I know where a defense file is strong and where it is quietly weak — and I prepare every case as if it is going to trial, because that is what earns a number reflecting what you actually lost.

Galimidi Law was built so the injured could have that same caliber of representation on their side for once — the kind the insurance companies hire. Every client works directly with a senior trial attorney, not a case manager. Someone who spent two decades inside the insurance industry — and now uses that knowledge against it. The consultation is free, and there are no fees or costs unless you recover.
