About Gerry
Biography
We get clients claims paid. As a former Assistant General Counsel, VP, President & CEO at the nation's largest insurance company, I now use my decades of insurance and legal experience to help people get insurance companies to pay rather than delay. If you, a family member or your firm suffered from an insurer's wrongful claim denial, or serious injury from an accident, defective product or a harmful drug or medical device, where there likely was insurance, contact us for a free case review.
Together with my law partner Robert K. Scott, and our nationwide Advocate Law Group Network, we bring the unique combination of deep insurance industry knowledge, extensive trial experience and a list of contacts that we use to help get our clients all the money they are entitled to, faster.

Why Liberty Mutual Insurance is horrible....
Mr Goldsholle, gave me an informative, honest appraisal of the difficult circumstances I was having with a Liberty Mutual auto claim. His input was very helpful and I highly recommend him in matters concerning these issues.
