Civil defense is where Childs & Curreli began. Before founding the firm, Wes Childs and Christy Curreli spent more than a decade representing insurance companies in civil litigation across Georgia, handling a broad range of personal injury, property damage, and liability claims. They built their legal careers on the defense side, developing a detailed understanding of how claims are evaluated, how cases are prepared for trial, and how litigation strategy is developed from the inside.
That foundation shapes everything the firm does today.
Childs & Curreli continues to represent insurance clients in civil defense matters across Georgia. Carriers and adjusters who work with the firm bring cases knowing they will receive the same trial-focused preparation and direct attorney involvement that define the firm's broader practice.
The firm's approach to civil defense reflects the same standards applied across all active matters.
Cases are not handled on a volume basis. Both attorneys remain involved in every active file through regular collaborative review, which means carriers are not dependent on a single point of contact for case updates and strategy decisions.
Defense representation at Childs & Curreli includes:
The firm's plaintiff-side experience, built alongside its defense practice, provides additional insight into how opposing counsel is likely to develop and present a claim. That perspective informs preparation at every stage.
Many of the firm's current matters arrive through referrals from other attorneys and long-standing relationships in the insurance industry. That referral base reflects a track record of thorough preparation, professional conduct, and effective representation across a wide range of civil claims.
Carriers and adjusters with questions about representation in Georgia are welcome to contact the firm directly.
