Galloway Johnson Tompkins Burr & Smith continues to grow its talented team with the addition of attorneys in our Jacksonville, New Orleans, and Gulfport offices. We greatly anticipate their result-driven representation by going way above and way beyond for our clients across the Gulf South.
Meticulous, dedicated, and thorough, Special Counsel Catherine Arpen skillfully develops strong defense strategies on behalf of her clients, with an eye towards results that meet their business objectives, whether through settlement or litigation. She practices in her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, and focuses her practice on general liability insurance defense and commercial litigation in the hospitality, retail, restaurant, trucking, and transportation industries.
In New Orleans, litigation defense attorney Matthew “Matt” Sandifer took a nontraditional and unconventional approach to his law career, serving two combat deployments to Ramadi, Iraq, as an United States Marine before law school. His background gives him a unique perspective and approach to representing and partnering with clients in liability and litigation matters.
Mississippi native Phillip LeMere is now practicing in the firm’s Gulfport office while also providing service to clients from our Mobile, Alabama, office. Working diligently to provide his clients with favorable and successful results, he prides himself on going way above and way beyond, more efficiently and more effectively than opposing counsel. Phillip’s diverse practice focuses on personal injury, professional liability, construction liability, and premises liability, and he particularly enjoys appellate litigation.
