Gallien Law partners with plaintiff attorneys in high-exposure cases where story, structure, and preservation matter. Through trial and co-counsel collaborations, we bring appellate-informed strategy, disciplined storytelling, and strategic precision to strengthen cases from early litigation through verdict and appeal.

We work alongside trial teams to help build sound, cohesive cases that resonate with jurors and hold up under review.

Why Trial & Co-Counsel Collaboration

Some cases require more than additional staffing—they require intentional strategy and foresight. Trials are not only about evidence; they are about how facts, law, and narrative are developed, presented, and preserved.

Our collaborative approach is designed to:

• Strengthen liability and damages narratives
• Identify and preserve key issues early
• Support clean motion practice and record development
• Enhance trial presentation without disrupting lead counsel’s role

Attorney Corrie Gallien is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Method Program and brings more than a decade of appellate and litigation experience to each collaboration.
