Georgina Montgomery: Excellence In The Courtroom
All of us at Rutter Mills want to congratulate attorney Georgina Montgomery for her recent recognition by Lawyers Monthly Magazine in their Women in Law Awards. She was named Insurance Claim and Litigation Lawyer of the Year.
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF WINNING AT RUTTER MILLS
Georgina Montgomery credits much of her success and award recognition to the valuable experience she gained as an insurance lawyer. She set out to defend people who had made a mistake and protect them from wrongful prosecution. After years in practice, she discovered that insurance work was more about protecting the insurance company’s bottom line than the client’s interest. Montgomery took her skillset to Rutter Mills, where she knew she would be able to help the real victims of accidents who had the odds stacked against them by big insurance. Experience as a defense attorney gave Montgomery the insight she needed to build solid cases for her clients.
“I learned how to cut holes in plaintiff’s cases, find weaknesses, and make arguments to devalue damages. Now, when I approach a case, I still look for problems and weaknesses, but I use that analysis to anticipate where the defense is going to strike and strengthen my arguments.”
The Key to Victory
Understanding every aspect of a case is vital to the Rutter Mills philosophy. We aim to stay ahead of insurance companies and ultimitely winning for our clients, and no one does it better than our attorneys. Georgina knows every client’s story and case is unique, and they all deserve her attention and respect. Therefore, Georgina takes the time to listen to and understand each client’s circumstances.
“Fully listen long before you ever start trying to problem-solve. Get to know your clients and find good consultants who can help you understand the different aspects of your case early on. Be curious and ask questions — all the questions!”
She knows the smallest detail can have a big impact. Among Georgina’s strengths is her commitment to preperation. She treats every case like it is going to trial, and keeps her clients involved every step of the way.
“I tell my clients early and often that I plan on trying their case. I want them to be as comfortable as possible with that prospect. Planning on a trial keeps my clients in the driver’s seat. I try to provide as much information I can to help clients make informed decisions. If we have to force the issue, we will be ready.”
Women in Law Award
Although awards are nice, they are far from Rutter Mills’ and Georgina’s end goal. We continue to fight back against insurance companies with the same passion we have for our clients over the past 65+ years. Not to earn recognition, but because it is the right thing to do and for us, client outcome is the true measure of success.
