Why Choose HKGC as Your Co-Counsel?

The reality is that many cases require specific legal expertise, time, and financial resources to get the best outcome for a client. And sometimes, the most effective way to do this is by bringing in another attorney or law firm.

Each year Herman, Katz, Gisleson & Cain pays out millions of dollars in co-counsel fees. Since we began working with other lawyers, we’ve helped recover billions for their clients, and we enjoy working side by side with leading professionals. We have a long history of serving as co-counsel and know the benefits of – and how to navigate – these collaborations.

At HKGC, we’ve proudly teamed up with other lawyers for complex personal injury claims, mass torts, multidistrict litigation, and class action lawsuits. Our decades of experience in a range of practice areas, combined with a robust team of professionals who have proven themselves time and again, make us the ideal choice for referrals and as co-counsel for many types of cases.

The attorneys at HKGC have strong negotiation and advocacy skills, as well as a successful track record in the courtroom. We’re not afraid to go the extra mile for our clients and those we provide co-counsel representation for. Our achievements, accolades, and professional leadership speak for themselves.
