“Our clients respect the way we handle our cases
from start to finish, aggressively and with tenacity.”
Christian A. Garbett
Christian A. Garbett joined King, Krebs, & Jurgens, PLLC, in 2002 as an associate and is now a member of the firm, focusing his practice on insurance defense, insurance fraud and bad faith litigation, commercial litigation and employment law.
Before joining King, Krebs & Jurgens, he practiced with a Northshore litigation firm, representing clients on both the plaintiff and defense sides. He credits that experience as providing full perspective when preparing cases for current clients. "The experience of regularly working on both sides of cases helped prepare me for what I do now."

Prior to law school, he graduated magna cum laude from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting.
