About this attorney
Michael S. Giardina is a founding partner at Godbey Giardina Law Group, dedicated to representing insurance policyholders, individuals, and families navigating complex legal challenges. A New Orleans native, an Eagle Scout, and an avid outdoorsman, Michael developed an early commitment to public service and community advocacy. His passion for assisting policyholders was forged in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, where he participated in search and rescue efforts and firsthand confronted deceptive insurance claim practices.
Prior to entering private legal practice, Michael built an extensive background in law enforcement, fraud investigation, disaster relief, and arbitration. While serving in law enforcement, he earned a Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration from Loyola University New Orleans and later obtained his Juris Doctor from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he contributed as a member of the Loyola Law Review.
Bringing relentless discipline and investigative precision to his legal career, Michael fights vigorously for clients facing contentious insurance disputes and personal injury claims. He approaches every case with the same duty of service that defined his law enforcement career, ensuring that everyday citizens receive fair treatment, clear communication, and the justice they deserve.
