#188 Trauma Informed Law with Galen Trine

In this captivating Trauma Healing Learning episode, we delve into the inspiring journey of Galen Trine, a personal injury and products liability attorney turned relational advocate who promotes trauma healing of his clients despite an adversarial legal system.  He graduated with honors from the University of Wyoming College of Law and decided he didn't want to subscribe to “zero sum” lawyering. Galen's steadfast commitment to justice as well as to his own personal discovery about humanity shaped a new creative approach to his cases in personal injury, insurance bad faith, wrongful death, product defects, and corporate negligence situations. His legal prowess was evident early on as he achieved a remarkable victory before even graduating from law school and collaborated with the Wyoming Attorney General for legal change without adversarial litigation.  

A recent milestone in his career was a landmark trial, where he fearlessly confronted a major insurance company in court with a creative compassionate illustration of his client's life, resulting in a verdict that exceeded the initial settlement offers by over 230 times. Join Louise in a fascinating conversation between two attorneys as they share what is possible to further trauma healing in an adversarial legal system.  And hear why and how attorney Galen Trine made a significant shift in his legal practice toward mutualism and emotional equity to benefit the well being of the injured beyond the monetary settlement, and without litigation.
