By: Attorney Corrie R. Gallien
Most websites have an “About Me” page—and I do, too. It gives you the highlights of who I am: an attorney, advocate, mother, and founder of Gallien Law. But a few lines of professional experience can’t fully capture the story behind the work I do or the heart behind my firm.
So, I want to take a moment to go beyond the bio and invite you into my why.
I’ve walked some difficult roads—personally and professionally. I know what it means to feel unheard, underestimated, or overlooked. I also know the strength it takes to rebuild, reimagine, and rise again. That lived experience fuels every part of my legal work, whether I’m helping someone navigate the aftermath of an accident, fighting for fairness in the courtroom, or mentoring the next generation of leaders.
If you’re new here, I invite you to get to know me not just as a lawyer, but as a human being. Below are a few blog posts that share pieces of my journey, passions, and purpose:
🟣 Birthday Reflections
This post shares about my 39th birthday and recent accomplishments that marked this monumental year.
🟣 My Deaf Journey – Raising Awareness for Disabilities
I open up about my experience as a deaf attorney. My story is why I advocate for accessibility and inclusion in every space, especially the courtroom.
🟣 Leadership Lafayette Class XXXVIII Opening Retreat 2025
In this piece, I open up about my Leadership Lafayette journey and our experience at Opening Retreat.
I’m also working on something deeply personal: a book titled Personal Injury: The Economic Impact of Abusive Relationships. It blends my legal insight with my personal story as a survivor to explore how abuse can leave lasting financial wounds. It’s written to empower survivors and spark important conversations in both the legal and broader communities.
And that’s just the beginning. I have several exciting projects on the horizon—from speaking engagements to professional collaborations and community-focused initiatives. Every step forward is rooted in purpose: to advocate, uplift, and serve.
Whether you’re here as a fellow lawyer, client, community member, or curious reader, thank you for stopping by. I hope my story helps you feel more seen, more heard, and more empowered—wherever you are on your journey.
Let’s stay connected.
Warmly,
Corrie R. Gallien
Attorney | Advocate | Founder of Gallien Law
