Gina M. Corena

Most people who call Gina Corena & Associates have never hired a lawyer before. They are hurt, out of work, and fielding calls from an adjuster who sounds friendly and is not. What Gina Corena gives them, starting with the first conversation, is a straight answer: what the case is actually worth, what it will take to get there, and how long it is likely to take.

That honesty is deliberate. Gina does not oversell a case to sign it, and she does not let a client walk into a settlement without understanding what they are giving up. Clients hear the hard parts of their case from her before they hear them from the other side. It is a harder way to practice, and it is the reason so many of her clients say the same thing in their reviews: she told them the truth, she did what she said she would do, and the result was better than they expected.

Strategy from day one. Gina builds every case as though it will be tried. Liability, causation, treatment, and damages get worked up early, in that order, so the file is complete before a demand ever goes out. Insurance companies evaluate cases on the strength of the record in front of them, and a file that is thorough, documented, and internally consistent settles for more than one that is not. That approach came out of experience most plaintiff’s attorneys do not have: before opening her own firm, Gina represented insurance companies and creditors in commercial, construction defect, bankruptcy, and personal injury matters. She spent years learning how carriers value claims, where they look for weaknesses, and what makes them move. She now uses that knowledge on the other side of the table.

Follow-through.Cases are lost in the gaps — the record that never got ordered, the lien that was never negotiated, the deadline nobody calendared, the client who stopped treating because no one called to check in. Gina built her firm to close those gaps. Her clients are not handed off and forgotten. She holds her team to a standard of contact, documentation, and attention to detail that keeps files moving, and she stays personally accountable for the outcome of every case that carries her name.

A relentless advocate. Gina stands with her clients until the case is resolved — through treatment, through negotiation, and into litigation when the offer does not reflect what the injury has cost. Carriers know which firms file and which firms fold. That reputation is worth real money to her clients, and she protects it.

Under her leadership, Gina Corena & Associates has recovered millions of dollars for injured Nevadans in motor vehicle and trucking collisions, premises liability and negligent security claims, and complex medical malpractice and birth injury matters.

Gina earned her bachelor’s degree from Loyola University New Orleans and her Juris Doctor from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, and was admitted to the State Bar of Nevada in 2007. She was recognized in the Top 40 Under 40 in 2017. She opened her own firm at 34 and has been its managing attorney ever since.
