The best litigators understand both sides of the courtroom.

In this episode of Let’s Talk Paralegal, host Eda Rosa welcomes John J. Reagan, Managing Partner at Kisling, Nestico & Redick, for a conversation about advocacy, strategy, and what it really takes to fight for injured clients.

Before dedicating his practice to helping injured individuals and families, John began his career defending insurance companies—an experience that gave him a unique perspective on how insurers evaluate, negotiate, and litigate claims.

Now, with decades of trial experience and leadership at Kisling, Nestico & Redick, John shares how that insider knowledge helps his team build stronger cases and deliver results for their clients.

In this episode, we explore:

  • What legal teams should understand about insurance defense strategies
  • How early case preparation can impact settlement outcomes
  • The importance of compassion and communication when working with injured clients
  • How trial experience shapes negotiation power in personal injury cases
  • Why strong legal teams—attorneys and paralegals alike—are critical to case success

At the heart of the conversation is a reminder that personal injury law isn’t just about litigation—it’s about helping people rebuild their lives after devastating events.

This episode offers valuable insights for legal professionals looking to better understand litigation strategy, client advocacy, and the evolving role of legal teams in personal injury practice.
